Eventually he met his sister who was also captured by a different master. He met his sister when his master happen to meet up with his sister's master. He said in his words "we were even denied the privilege of crying together". I read that book back in Pope John senior high
I just watched this video, and I have noticed that my life is no longer the same. An unspeakable inner pain reigns in me that are only increasing within my soul. I understand now how my ancestors went through so much hardship and inhuman treatment that I lack words to describe the suffering and shame they had experienced. Between deceit, sabotage, rivalry and tribal wars, many fell into the traps of slavery. How many had not died and thrown into the sea? How many indeed were subjugated placed to mistreatment? The day of reckoning must come to help us clarify everything.
Slavery has existed since time began. All peoples have been subjected to slavery. Arab slavers existed 100's of years before America was discovered by Europeans. Black people should look at slavery from a world perspective instead of pretending it only happened to them. The British and the Americans were primarily responsible foe ending slavery in western countries and fighting to end it around the world. Hundreds of thousands of white people died to end slavery!!!
It’s not “AFRICAN HISTORY “ we were different before they came. STOP the BS ! It’s ASHAME how we buy into this idea that we must maintain a bad memory in order to learn. Basically Africa is holding on to pain and suffering and will never grow if it doesn’t DESTROY all the wicked architectural properties that keeps Africa looking OLD and ghetto-like.
Please , please watch all the 20 episodes before you comment on the only ones that you have watched and have issues with. I do not think that the producers have ever said anywhere that this documentary series represents the total and complete history of Africa. Learn what you can from this and get more knowledge from the many other resources available. We live to learn.There is an Akan proverb “knowledge does not reside in one head”
My brother it's always a cultural awakening to see my African family well attire in our regale tradition clothing it shows that their are some of our descendents still know of our pride and dignity we were a part of .I salute you my family.

What happened in (Saint-Domingue) Haiti at the end of the 18th century was not a rebellion or a revolt. It was a REVOLUTION. The most important revolution (philosophically) in modern History.
These devils want to change the narrative . always trying to condition thor psychological twist narrative of black people fightingf for their freedom in the hand of the oppressor , a Revolution as a Rebellion. They always in their mind see black people, the original people of the Earth as their destroyer that's why they are afraid CTO let go of the controlling issue/ power of alwya killing or monitoring black people.
Lesprilib1 Haitians are the only nation in history who did what they did. They won the war but lost their freedom. The French American white supremacy system have kept their foot on Haiti throats via unconscionable economic policies. These white Supremacist removed a democratically elected President Aristide and placed their white supremacy in office a baby doc type president in office this active thanks to bush/Colin Powell.🤔
It leaves an empty space inside of me that reading and time cannot fill. I don’t know without a doubt where I came from but know that I am not a Caucasian; black, negro, colored, African American are not races but rather what the politicians decided to call me. I was born on continent of Norte America so it is true to say I am a North American.
Given the current discussion about the legacy of enslavement in the US, I was really interested to see the African side of the story as well. On both sides of the Atlantic, the economic and social impacts are still devastating. Thanks so much for this perspective.
You did not see the African side, you saw the BBC side. There are actual African historians that were born, raised and teach in Africa that have their lessons on TH-cam. And all of them are gracious to Europe and America because they stopped their slavery and then used their might to end it all over the world including finally bringing an end to the ISLAMIC Africa slave trade which was started in the 7th century and went into the 1900s...yeah, 1900s. Islam not only has never apologized for it, they pretend it never happened and are even working to bring it back. They managed to do it in Libya, where they RIGHT NOW capture those fleeing the Sub-Sarah and sell them into slavery. You can see videos of it on TH-cam. Anyway. they also teach how White Europeans were also taken into slavery by Islam and the Berbers and that more of them were taken in the over 700 year period of it happening than African slaves were taken by Europe. Which is true.
My great great great grandfather and his brothers were fleeing from being caught by slaves traders. They were 3 brothers . Their family name was Capo or Kakpo. They decided that they would go separate ways to have more chances to be alive and they also changed names. My great kept the name Capo and his brothers were Gnanwi and Quenum. We have been told that they haven’t been captured. Quenum, Kakpo and Gnanwi are names that are found in Benin, that’s how we know that they made it. I still don’t know how my grandpa speaks fluent Portuguese and he was mixed as well.
In Ghana the the youth have a saying.....If there's a place in the sky made of gold and the white man has the manuals ,no blackman will have access to the place
But why should the Blackman always wait to be allowed access to the manuals. We should always strive to find that gold laden place in the sky and possess the powers to its accessibility.
Perhaps 🤔 my ignorance the white supremacy ideology rules Kenya and most of African continent, obamaland is unconscionable still trafficking for centuries their children. It happens here we are in stomach of the beast but African still colonized. We are stuck stupid for allowing a handful of WS keep us chained physical, mentally.WAKE UP.
I've been feeling alone in my search for empirical evidence of the trauma that I believe plays a great part to the behaviour of my people, both here in Africa and outside. I have cried, but I am grateful to learn.
I'm Brazilian black, can you imagine the slavery here back in time and now? The violence on Favelas are a slavery too. Many bro and sis doesn't open their eyes to whats going on, who wants them the way they are. So sad about the nowadays slavery modus operandis.
Dear Mrs. Zeinab.... you have made a respectable landmark to the History of Africa documenting a great civilization being the cradle of humanity. The history will always remember your documentary being as great as the African civilization.
But what about the part her people played in the enslaving of Africana? The Arabs came across in the 8th century and started enslaving Africans immediately. Her people helped to steal so much of our birth right and now she giving documentaries on the European's slavery. What about hers?
Thank you Zeinab and your crew for this series of documentaries...There was a major point you let out or omit in your work; the role played by the Catholic Church as an enticing element and the power behind the slaves owners, fooling them with their enchantements as God was ok with the slavary business as long as they send their offrands to the pope. The Catholic Church played a major role in removing guilt in the heart of the slaves owners by their misquoting of the Bible.
They didnt need to do any of that because the slave owners existed BEFORE the church came in. Islam was there buying slaves from the 7th to 19th centuries and helped to bring it back a decade ago. You can go watch Muslims selling sub-Saharans into slavery right here on TH-cam. Go watch something from an actual African historian and listen how they teach history IN Africa. They are angry at Islam for doing it, for never apologizing or even admitting it happened and are grateful to Europe and America for not only apologizing but for actually HELPING Africa a great deal in the last 40 years and for also helping to end slavery there. The BBC, is pure propaganda trash.
Loving this one thanks for sharing very information blessed love to all knowledge is power hopefully everyone pays attention keep up the good work 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
When you heard the word "slavery and suffering," do not forget about Omar Al Bashiir and Nimery's slavery system in Sudan against South Sudanese. When Sudan gains its independence in 1960, a census was carried out and Muslims were 30% and the rest were Christians and non-religious people. Now, Sudan is an Islamic state with 95% Muslim due to Bashiir's more than two decades in power. Bashiir is now paying for his deeds, but I am a South Sudanese and still Need Reparation from Sudan for irrevocable damages done to my ancestors. What Sudan is currently doing to South Sudanese in Abyei (disputed area), which no one reports at all, is no different from what Isreal is doing to Palestinians, but Al Jazeera is beating the drums about that of Palestinians. It is very sad indeed that this Sudanese lady (Zeinab) decided to NEVER mention anything about it
@@barringtonedwards2166 Bashiir requested Gulf or Arab Spring nations like Irag and others to bomb us with warplanes till 2005 when the peace deal was signed in Kenya. This was because Sudan wanted us to be wiped off the planet and turned the southern part of the country, today South Sudan, a camel farm-land to meet the high demand of camel meat in the Middle East and protect the flow of Kiir River (White Nile) to Egypt. Not to mention the fact that Sudan was the second home of Osama Bin Laden, the world's dangerous extremist. This was a design by all Arab nations on earth against us but nothing is mentioned about it here.

i am south american and is never discussed how europeans behaved in the colonies vs europe. In europe they had their wives and titles but they did whatever the fuck they wanted in the colonies.
All along, I try to not cry , but I can not hold it anymore at 5:50 when Zainab shakes her head due to the odor from the “Dungeon of Male Slaves” that hits them at its entrance!!!
I thank you or this bridge that helps to create room for understanding te trade from the other side and hence causing the narrative to evolve to a more structured story!
No mention of the roles arab slave traders played in the Transatlantic Slave trade: The brutal raids on villages, the caravan march to the coast and the atrocities committed along the way.
Obviously lots of people are making comments without seeing the other episodes. This is episode 17 and everything is not covered in one episode. 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
Very good documentery however I've notice that they never really mention , or addres the slave trade to the Caribean, and North America was not the only place where the slaves where taken to ? Brazil, South, and Central America as well as the Caribean had a large groups of Africans brought there as slaves . Seems to me that one more time history it's being told by those with money and power.
Economic motive, more than moral and religious motives, was instrumental and paramount to ending slavery. Very wise words by the Professor. This collection of documentaries is magnificent btw. Very educational!
How so? The Industrial Revolution demanded MORE cheap labour in the colonies, not less....Yet the British ended the global, ubiquitous institution. This is ridiculous.
Important documentary best I ever seen about the slave trade, I send thoughts and love from me in country far away from Africa, I would love to come and visit all the historic places. I would cry.
It's really baffling how the slavery centuries ago affect us now. " slavery ended, but the ideology on which it was based I.E that Africans are inferior, has not been dismantled " we need to be aware of our best to move forward as a continent.
Its propaganda trash. the Islamic slave trade in Africa started in the 7th century and went all the way until Europe ended it there in the 1900s...at least until 10 years ago when Islam helped it return in Libya. Yeah, there is slavery once again in Africa. They catch those fleeing the sub-Sahara and sell them, videos of it are on TH-cam. Slavery itself is recorded through-out African history. Slavery is in humanities oldest writings. The idea this only happened because of some idea that they were inferior is a lie pushed by race peddlers.
@@gigigiseleworld Every city every country! First ask yourself the definition of slavery Child Sex Trafficking. ... Bonded Labor or Debt Bondage. ... Domestic Servitude. ... Forced Child Labor. ... Unlawful Recruitment and Use of Child Soldiers Estimated 48 million people are in slavery today
12:05 Let me tell you the truth since it won't be told here. Ayuba Diallo wasn't "visiting". He was on his was to TRADE ENSLAVED AFRICANS FOR PAPER. He was subsequently captured by members of the Mandinka and sold into slavery himself. The reason he was recognized as a nobleman was because HE HAD PREVIOUSLY SOLD ENSLAVED AFRICANS TO THE WHITE MAN WHO THEN CAME TO OWN HIM.
This is one of the biggest topics of our modern day and this has less then 500k views. I have learned a lot from only watching the episode before this one and I am learning something I am empathizing with. I have shared this with as many people I can.
I didnt know about dungeons after I haven seen in South America I felt so devastated when I have seen the narrow dungeons that many africans were living including kids with no toilet no clothes This was a big crime. I feel so sorry for what happened thanks to conquerors. President Ramon Castilla in South America was the first who released slaves paying Master by Master. Still we have the Fortaleza of Real Felipe which was made for slaves.
They were hardly given any food to eat while they were enslaved and kept like animals in dungeons! The women were forced to have babies to increase the number of slaves. Children as young as 5 years were forced to work in the cotton fields!
@@Mathilda5xpThey were raping little girls in ships during transportation. Thanks to President Ramon Castilla slaves in Peru were released for first time. He paid Master by Master . Next year Lincoln did in North America.
There are few mentions of Brazil in this episode and it should be mentioned. We received 5 million african slaves fron the 10 million that survived the travel. The slave trade here was made illegal in 1850, but the abolition came only in 1888.
@@sonjarharvey6518 here we go ignorance. Some of the kings who resisted abolition were mixed race, had emissaries in the foregn lands and brazilian portuguese who came to settle in west africa. Read amaro, saro, da silva of the slave coast, the aguda etc. Read please
@@listenup2882 More of 50 millions made the journey to the Muslim countries to the east during a 1700 year time span of the sub-Saharan slave trade. It is also called "The Hidden Genocide". Why Genocide? Because all men were castrated, and out of every 5, only 1 survived! They did it to make sure that they couldn't reproduce with their wives, and there was plenty of supply of slaves to replace everyone who was killed! By the way, the slave trade in Morocco, which was the last country in the world to forbid the slave trade, ended only in 1988, by imposition of the European Union, so that it could be a privileged commercial partner! The Mkenez Palace in Marrakesh has a slave market that operated for 700 years and has the capacity to hold 150,000 slaves for trade at all times.
More Africans were sent to Brazil as slaves than all the rest of the Americas/ the New World combined. It shouldn't be a surprise that Brazil has the 2nd largest Black population of any country. Nigeria being #1, US is #3 and Columbia being #4.
I'm watching this for the 5th time in since 2020. The story behind this video is really devastating and educational at the same time. The pain in this video is really obscure to the world.
This is the sanitized version of what happened in all of its abominations and horror. After a 500 years the stench of the malevolence lingers. I do appreciate that BBC spent money to put the documentary together. Every little scrap of history cobbled together is precious. Thank you for posting this for the public. It is a necessary resource.
Very informative documentary dealing with many facets of Slavery and its impact on African Nations. Great to Listen to Scholars/Historians/Researchers from different African Countries ie. Ghana, Liberia, Nigeria and Mali, to get their perspectives on present-day and future challenges alongside progress being made.
I will echo the sentiments of so many. How anyone can treat other human beings with such utter distain and callousness is beyond comprehension. With no regard for feelings or even for living creatures is shockingly horrendous . I have no other words… just emotions. Literally centuries of pillage and slaughter, and why??? all for greed and power??? Europeans invaded Africa, Australia, the Americas, this is human history at its sickening worst.
Heck yeah Africa has been through various invasions from Africans And Non Africans as well as slavery, servitude, imprisonment, hostage take overs, captives, kidnappings, rapings, pillagings, robbing, stealing, imperialism, colonialism, neo colonialism, And many other kinds of heinous actions or acts yet many still pull through to try to create better situations and circumstances
@Crow29Darkness chattel slavery, Jim crow, modern day imperialism, etc. I say Europeans have beaten the Arabs. But we shall see the domino effect of these actions. Rome fell then and it seems to be ending its stand today. This Rome is cracking because the foundation is faulty. However, Arabs & Europeans are guilty of this crime. In God's hands now.
@@matthewmann8969 I suppose all your babbling was to cunningly make that point. Slavery happened during the early primitive days but not on the extreme scale of unbearable brutality as the Europeans. The difference is so great that slavery among African tribes were merely negligeable in comparison.
Thank you very much for making this video because it helps people to understand a whole lot more about what went on way before we were born! I never realized what an effect it had on Africa as a nation much less all of the pain and sorrow that my brothers and sisters went through. I do know that our creator has already planned out the punishment for the negative spirit which was in all of the people who enjoyed hurting others. I came from a family where some of them enjoyed inflicting pain on our own family. Love all of you and thank you again! HalleluYah
You are not properly informed.... the slave trade had gone on for hundreds of years , maybe a thousand years before and Europeans got involved... the Arabs had established slave markets already,,, long before Europeans bought any...and other blacks captured the slaves.. they sold them wholesale to Arabs , and the Europeans bought from Arabs and the slave trade continues... ... you want to put blame only on Europeans.. but there is blame for every race of people
I wouldn’t say that. Most Europeans today just know the tiniest bit about slavery themselves, and lots don’t care that their country might have been involved.
Not all white people own slaves or involve with slave trade and not all white people are racist. What do you think of John Brown the European American abolitionist who in 1859 lead arm rebellion against slavery? But we should have knowledge of our selves and should not depend on these people for true liberation
My hometown in NC has a link to Liberia. Many of the enslaved who returned had worked and bough the plantation of they former master known as Happy Hill. This was part of a Moravian community in which their ancestors had been a part of until outside influences from the surrounding area forced the enslaved and white Moravian community into segregation. The lead to the founding of Saint Phillips church. This is one of the oldest black Moravian Church is in America. The descendants of Saint Phillips turned happy hill into the cities first economic suburb, and it became part of a rich African-American community that during segregation had one of the most economically independent black communities in North Carolina that included the only bus line in the nation on by blacks. My mother and Minnie on both sides of my family lived in do you happy Hill community, and one of the names of the streets in the community is Monrovia. Another name, Free St. We are so connected to our ancestors as a global diaspora.
Our ancestors were not cowards They fought for our future They resist threats and were killed Our only problem is tribal conflicts Everyone wants to show their mightyness that brings infighting among us.
It is undoubtedly very shameful that humanity has evolved out of torture, colonization and wars over very long time and across the globe. When does that day come when humanity reaches at least a definition of mercy and understanding. It is again very shameful that we have reached many advances in science, still we didn't reach a simple definition of mercy!!!!
FYI, the castles/forts in Ghana are deliberately kept that way by the Ghana Musuems and Monuments Board. If you care to know why, read about it online!
Slavery has been abolished in Saint-Domingue (Haiti)in August 1793, years before the Europeans decided to do so, thanks to the massive uprising of the enslaved Black themselves.
@@Cl0ckcl0ck Of course, Europe is the Way, the Truth... it is Civilization. It is Life. Is not it? We are talking about the whole system of the dehumanization of other human beings that European people implemented on the American continent. The African slaves in St-Domingue, Haiti, fought to end it. They did end it before the Europeans decided to do so for economic reasons
The greatest African anti slavery freedom fighters Nat Turner, Jean Jacques Dessalines, Denmark Vesey, Gabriel Prosser, Sam Sharpe, Nanny and Harriet Tubman.
The greatest African stories to be told, are Timbuktu, Mali ,Ghana, songhi and others that didn't come until after AL Islam. Those countries in their time were the most advanced in the world and history.
*I'm still waiting for a series on the Islamic and Arab slave trade that came before and lasted beyond the north atlantic slave trade. Like the fact that black Africans are being bought and sold today in places like Libya. Or the fact that the slave trade was only ended in Saudi Arabia in the year 1962.* *Slavery of black Africans still continues in many middle eastern countries today which is essentially ignored by those malcontents that continue a campaign of shame against a variety of European countries and the Americas.*
Exactly and it's still happening. Look up Saudi Arabian "house maids" is what they call them. They are not paid and jailed for running away, and brought back to the "employers" they call it.
Good story. ZEINAB. This story wouldn't be complete if you do not do another documentary on Arab Slave trade. That was in place before the Transatlantic slave trade. It still exists in other forms. Be blessed Zeinab.
Slavery still exist to this day but in a different way and it's happening no just to Africans but mainly to all 3rd countries. Arab themselves have colonized us in North African people who are originally Amazigh but now our history get buried and replaced by Islamic history.
It’s not two different ppl, it’s just the mentality. We are all Africans, the White man 🏷 us to confuse us. It’s not about forgiving, it’s bout realizing that we have been tricked or brainwashed to think that ones from the mother land are different from the ones that were actually enslaved and took on the White mans culture. Once we learn our history, we good.

These devils want to change the narrative . always trying to condition thor psychological twist narrative of black people fightingf for their freedom in the hand of the oppressor , a Revolution as a Rebellion. They always in their mind see black people, the original people of the Earth as their destroyer that's why they are afraid CTO let go of the controlling issue/ power of alwya killing or monitoring black people.
Lesprilib1 Haitians are the only nation in history who did what they did. They won the war but lost their freedom. The French American white supremacy system have kept their foot on Haiti throats via unconscionable economic policies. These white Supremacist removed a democratically elected President Aristide and placed their white supremacy in office a baby doc type president in office this active thanks to bush/Colin Powell.🤔

Slavery is not the history of Africa, Slavery distracted Africa history
Thank you for saying this!! People get so stuck in this that we have completely neglected who we truly are and where we really come from
Very true
You are slaves 😁😁😁😁
Why did you allow us to abuse you 😆😆 you have no history you are lucky we’ve decided to tolerate you
You were probably reincarnated as black because of sins in your past life
From Western Africa to the shores of the Caribbean.... With a twist of European blood 🩸... ✊🏽💪🏻 🇩🇴🇨🇺🇵🇷🇵🇦🇻🇪🇨🇴🇳🇮
It leaves an empty space inside of me that reading and time cannot fill. I don’t know without a doubt where I came from but know that I am not a Caucasian; black, negro, colored, African American are not races but rather what the politicians decided to call me. I was born on continent of Norte America so it is true to say I am a North American.
This is one of the exceptional documentry on Africa
I still have so much to learn. Thank you for this .
I enjoy this series immensely!!!!
Given the current discussion about the legacy of enslavement in the US, I was really interested to see the African side of the story as well. On both sides of the Atlantic, the economic and social impacts are still devastating. Thanks so much for this perspective.
You did not see the African side, you saw the BBC side.
There are actual African historians that were born, raised and teach in Africa that have their lessons on TH-cam. And all of them are gracious to Europe and America because they stopped their slavery and then used their might to end it all over the world including finally bringing an end to the ISLAMIC Africa slave trade which was started in the 7th century and went into the 1900s...yeah, 1900s.
Islam not only has never apologized for it, they pretend it never happened and are even working to bring it back. They managed to do it in Libya, where they RIGHT NOW capture those fleeing the Sub-Sarah and sell them into slavery. You can see videos of it on TH-cam.
Anyway. they also teach how White Europeans were also taken into slavery by Islam and the Berbers and that more of them were taken in the over 700 year period of it happening than African slaves were taken by Europe. Which is true.
My great great great grandfather and his brothers were fleeing from being caught by slaves traders. They were 3 brothers . Their family name was Capo or Kakpo. They decided that they would go separate ways to have more chances to be alive and they also changed names. My great kept the name Capo and his brothers were Gnanwi and Quenum. We have been told that they haven’t been captured. Quenum, Kakpo and Gnanwi are names that are found in Benin, that’s how we know that they made it. I still don’t know how my grandpa speaks fluent Portuguese and he was mixed as well.
Because that's were the isrealite Jews Were before they can to Africa ! They came from Portugal and Spain..its History🤔
I'm from Ghana, and my senior brothers name is Kpakpo, and mine is Akwei.
In Ghana the the youth have a saying.....If there's a place in the sky made of gold and the white man has the manuals ,no blackman will have access to the place
i like this saying
I like this. 😀
But why should the Blackman always wait to be allowed access to the manuals. We should always strive to find that gold laden place in the sky and possess the powers to its accessibility.
Perhaps 🤔 my ignorance the white supremacy ideology rules Kenya and most of African continent, obamaland is unconscionable still trafficking for centuries their children. It happens here we are in stomach of the beast but African still colonized. We are stuck stupid for allowing a
handful of WS keep us chained physical, mentally.WAKE UP.
That is exactly the "Epigenetics" that the professor was explaining
I've been feeling alone in my search for empirical evidence of the trauma that I believe plays a great part to the behaviour of my people, both here in Africa and outside.
I have cried, but I am grateful to learn.
I am a Black american of African descent, my family brought to america through the slave trade and I am right there with you 🫂
Its the awakening God said we would have after 400 years of being dead to the knowledge of who we were as a people.

Wonderful documentary. Big thanks to the producers!
I'm Brazilian black, can you imagine the slavery here back in time and now? The violence on Favelas are a slavery too. Many bro and sis doesn't open their eyes to whats going on, who wants them the way they are. So sad about the nowadays slavery modus operandis.
Dear Mrs. Zeinab.... you have made a respectable landmark to the History of Africa documenting a great civilization being the cradle of humanity. The history will always remember your documentary being as great as the African civilization.
But what about the part her people played in the enslaving of Africana? The Arabs came across in the 8th century and started enslaving Africans immediately. Her people helped to steal so much of our birth right and now she giving documentaries on the European's slavery. What about hers?
I learned so much from this video. I love your content
This frontline soldier never seizes to deliver; nuff respect Zeinab, live forever my beloved.....
Thank you Zeinab and your crew for this series of documentaries...There was a major point you let out or omit in your work; the role played by the Catholic Church as an enticing element and the power behind the slaves owners, fooling them with their enchantements as God was ok with the slavary business as long as they send their offrands to the pope.
The Catholic Church played a major role in removing guilt in the heart of the slaves owners by their misquoting of the Bible.
They didnt need to do any of that because the slave owners existed BEFORE the church came in. Islam was there buying slaves from the 7th to 19th centuries and helped to bring it back a decade ago.
You can go watch Muslims selling sub-Saharans into slavery right here on TH-cam.
Go watch something from an actual African historian and listen how they teach history IN Africa. They are angry at Islam for doing it, for never apologizing or even admitting it happened and are grateful to Europe and America for not only apologizing but for actually HELPING Africa a great deal in the last 40 years and for also helping to end slavery there.
The BBC, is pure propaganda trash.
It was indeed enlightening! Sure, there were things untouched because of powers that be.
I like listening to you Zeinab you are so ferice and powerful when carrying out these documentry.
Loving this one thanks for sharing very information blessed love to all knowledge is power hopefully everyone pays attention keep up the good work 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Great job! These episodes need to have translation/subtitles and be available to more people. Brazilians specially :)
When you heard the word "slavery and suffering," do not forget about Omar Al Bashiir and Nimery's slavery system in Sudan against South Sudanese. When Sudan gains its independence in 1960, a census was carried out and Muslims were 30% and the rest were Christians and non-religious people. Now, Sudan is an Islamic state with 95% Muslim due to Bashiir's more than two decades in power. Bashiir is now paying for his deeds, but I am a South Sudanese and still Need Reparation from Sudan for irrevocable damages done to my ancestors. What Sudan is currently doing to South Sudanese in Abyei (disputed area), which no one reports at all, is no different from what Isreal is doing to Palestinians, but Al Jazeera is beating the drums about that of Palestinians. It is very sad indeed that this Sudanese lady (Zeinab) decided to NEVER mention anything about it
Much love to South Sudan 🇸🇸 from Jamaica 🇯🇲 we never forget your struggles
@@barringtonedwards2166 Thank you Caribbean for remembering us
@The Black Order she does in the Sudan/Nubia episode
@@barringtonedwards2166 Bashiir requested Gulf or Arab Spring nations like Irag and others to bomb us with warplanes till 2005 when the peace deal was signed in Kenya. This was because Sudan wanted us to be wiped off the planet and turned the southern part of the country, today South Sudan, a camel farm-land to meet the high demand of camel meat in the Middle East and protect the flow of Kiir River (White Nile) to Egypt. Not to mention the fact that Sudan was the second home of Osama Bin Laden, the world's dangerous extremist. This was a design by all Arab nations on earth against us but nothing is mentioned about it here.
This a very true, I will make video about it. BBC tend to focus on what Europeans did.

i am south american and is never discussed how europeans behaved in the colonies vs europe. In europe they had their wives and titles but they did whatever the fuck they wanted in the colonies.
So many wise and beautiful people, Im from Sweden but I would love to go there one day.
All along, I try to not cry , but I can not hold it anymore at 5:50 when Zainab shakes her head due to the odor from the “Dungeon of Male Slaves” that hits them at its entrance!!!

What did we do
I'm from Haïti 🇭🇹 and love this documentary.
No mention of the roles arab slave traders played in the Transatlantic Slave trade: The brutal raids on villages, the caravan march to the coast and the atrocities committed along the way.
Indeed Arabs practiced it , long time before the Portuguese and the rest of Europeans.
'The Forgotten Slave Trade: The White European Slaves of Islam': th-cam.com/video/ntRJtESy0L0/w-d-xo.html
It was mentioned in the previous episode (16)
Or that Arabs are STILL buying slaves today from poor Asian and African countries.
arabs werent involved in transatlantic slave trade but they were involved in southeast african slave trade
This is very good documentary it is easy to understand and very useful
You need the do a documentary on the catholic church the behind the slave trade and all the tyranny which are taking place today
And the others too, the protestant, the muslim !!
This company would never incriminate organizations that fund their network
@Jon Doe why do you say that
.. Religion,, . Propaganda,, politics, systems, that's the true virus in this earth..
Absolutely love ALL of your work.
Obviously lots of people are making comments without seeing the other episodes. This is episode 17 and everything is not covered in one episode. 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
Thanks lovely for this painful history
I like the fact in this documentary. That history is been told by African historians.
BBC are not African historians
@@naturalnice I didn't say BBC. I said African historians.
Very good documentery however I've notice that they never really mention , or addres the slave trade to the Caribean, and North America was not the only place where the slaves where taken to ? Brazil, South, and Central America as well as the Caribean had a large groups of Africans brought there as slaves . Seems to me that one more time history it's being told by those with money and power.
@malkiel the1st got you, might missed that part
Economic motive, more than moral and religious motives, was instrumental and paramount to ending slavery. Very wise words by the Professor. This collection of documentaries is magnificent btw. Very educational!
How so? The Industrial Revolution demanded MORE cheap labour in the colonies, not less....Yet the British ended the global, ubiquitous institution. This is ridiculous.
Important documentary best I ever seen about the slave trade, I send thoughts and love from me in country far away from Africa, I would love to come and visit all the historic places. I would cry.
Thank y’all for this
So glad that guy brought up epigenetics and the impact of massive PTSD on the health and welfare of generations of African decendants
Thank you for making this history available.
I really like all Zeinab documentaries Thank you for educating us ..... it is greatly appreciated.......
Interesting that Mr Olaudah Equiano could read and write. And to have written a book!
It's really baffling how the slavery centuries ago affect us now. " slavery ended, but the ideology on which it was based I.E that Africans are inferior, has not been dismantled " we need to be aware of our best to move forward as a continent.
But having the African take responsibility and stop praising them because their black and see them nothing but slave traders.
Its propaganda trash.
the Islamic slave trade in Africa started in the 7th century and went all the way until Europe ended it there in the 1900s...at least until 10 years ago when Islam helped it return in Libya. Yeah, there is slavery once again in Africa. They catch those fleeing the sub-Sahara and sell them, videos of it are on TH-cam.
Slavery itself is recorded through-out African history.
Slavery is in humanities oldest writings. The idea this only happened because of some idea that they were inferior is a lie pushed by race peddlers.
Slavery has not ended its more now than it was back then check your facts🙏
@@chrisapperley2616 In what city 🏙️ or Country "??

12:05 Let me tell you the truth since it won't be told here. Ayuba Diallo wasn't "visiting". He was on his was to TRADE ENSLAVED AFRICANS FOR PAPER. He was subsequently captured by members of the Mandinka and sold into slavery himself. The reason he was recognized as a nobleman was because HE HAD PREVIOUSLY SOLD ENSLAVED AFRICANS TO THE WHITE MAN WHO THEN CAME TO OWN HIM.
Wow. Completely two different stories. That's the problem now, who to believe?
This is one of the biggest topics of our modern day and this has less then 500k views. I have learned a lot from only watching the episode before this one and I am learning something I am empathizing with. I have shared this with as many people I can.
they rather watch Rap musicians, ball players and the big buddies
I didnt know about dungeons after I haven seen in South America I felt so devastated when I have seen the narrow dungeons that many africans were living including kids with no toilet no clothes This was a big crime. I feel so sorry for what happened thanks to conquerors. President Ramon Castilla in South America was the first who released slaves paying Master by Master. Still we have the Fortaleza of Real Felipe which was made for slaves.
They were hardly given any food to eat while they were enslaved and kept like animals in dungeons! The women were forced to have babies to increase the number of slaves. Children as young as 5 years were forced to work in the cotton fields!
@@Mathilda5xpThey were raping little girls in ships during transportation. Thanks to President Ramon Castilla slaves in Peru were released for first time. He paid Master by Master . Next year Lincoln did in North America.
There are few mentions of Brazil in this episode and it should be mentioned. We received 5 million african slaves fron the 10 million that survived the travel. The slave trade here was made illegal in 1850, but the abolition came only in 1888.
Just type in Brazil and slavery and you will see videos of that period.
@@sonjarharvey6518 here we go ignorance. Some of the kings who resisted abolition were mixed race, had emissaries in the foregn lands and brazilian portuguese who came to settle in west africa. Read amaro, saro, da silva of the slave coast, the aguda etc. Read please
12.5 million made the journey to the Americas.
@@listenup2882 More of 50 millions made the journey to the Muslim countries to the east during a 1700 year time span of the sub-Saharan slave trade. It is also called "The Hidden Genocide". Why Genocide? Because all men were castrated, and out of every 5, only 1 survived! They did it to make sure that they couldn't reproduce with their wives, and there was plenty of supply of slaves to replace everyone who was killed! By the way, the slave trade in Morocco, which was the last country in the world to forbid the slave trade, ended only in 1988, by imposition of the European Union, so that it could be a privileged commercial partner! The Mkenez Palace in Marrakesh has a slave market that operated for 700 years and has the capacity to hold 150,000 slaves for trade at all times.
More Africans were sent to Brazil as slaves than all the rest of the Americas/ the New World combined. It shouldn't be a surprise that Brazil has the 2nd largest Black population of any country. Nigeria being #1, US is #3 and Columbia being #4.
I'm watching this for the 5th time in since 2020. The story behind this video is really devastating and educational at the same time. The pain in this video is really obscure to the world.
Beautiful documentary zeinab
This is the sanitized version of what happened in all of its abominations and horror. After a 500 years the stench of the malevolence lingers. I do appreciate that BBC spent money to put the documentary together. Every little scrap of history cobbled together is precious. Thank you for posting this for the public. It is a necessary resource.
Gotta love Africa❣️It’s my honor❣️ ❤️🌍❤️
Very informative documentary dealing with many facets of Slavery and its impact on African Nations. Great to Listen to Scholars/Historians/Researchers from different African Countries ie. Ghana, Liberia, Nigeria and Mali, to get their perspectives on present-day and future challenges alongside progress being made.
This video sounds great. it hits the echoes of the slavery perfectly
I will echo the sentiments of so many. How anyone can treat other human beings with such utter distain and callousness is beyond comprehension. With no regard for feelings or even for living creatures is shockingly horrendous . I have no other words… just emotions. Literally centuries of pillage and slaughter, and why??? all for greed and power??? Europeans invaded Africa, Australia, the Americas, this is human history at its sickening worst.
This is an interesting history of all times.
Heck yeah Africa has been through various invasions from Africans And Non Africans as well as slavery, servitude, imprisonment, hostage take overs, captives, kidnappings, rapings, pillagings, robbing, stealing, imperialism, colonialism, neo colonialism, And many other kinds of heinous actions or acts yet many still pull through to try to create better situations and circumstances
@Crow29Darkness Africans were enslaving each other way before arrival of any Non Africans period
@Crow29Darkness chattel slavery, Jim crow, modern day imperialism, etc. I say Europeans have beaten the Arabs.
But we shall see the domino effect of these actions. Rome fell then and it seems to be ending its stand today. This Rome is cracking because the foundation is faulty.
However, Arabs & Europeans are guilty of this crime. In God's hands now.
@@matthewmann8969 I suppose all your babbling was to cunningly make that point. Slavery happened during the early primitive days but not on the extreme scale of unbearable brutality as the Europeans. The difference is so great that slavery among African tribes were merely negligeable in comparison.
This is so enlightening
Thank you very much for making this video because it helps people to understand a whole lot more about what went on way before we were born! I never realized what an effect it had on Africa as a nation much less all of the pain and sorrow that my brothers and sisters went through. I do know that our creator has already planned out the punishment for the negative spirit which was in all of the people who enjoyed hurting others. I came from a family where some of them enjoyed inflicting pain on our own family. Love all of you and thank you again!
HalleluYah
The more I learn about world history the more I realize how little I should ever trust anyone of European ancestry.
You are not properly informed.... the slave trade had gone on for hundreds of years , maybe a thousand years before and Europeans got involved... the Arabs had established slave markets already,,, long before Europeans bought any...and other blacks captured the slaves.. they sold them wholesale to Arabs , and the Europeans bought from Arabs and the slave trade continues... ... you want to put blame only on Europeans.. but there is blame for every race of people
I totally agree 💯 with you that is horrible 💔 break's my heart 💔 Amen
I wouldn’t say that. Most Europeans today just know the tiniest bit about slavery themselves, and lots don’t care that their country might have been involved.
Not all white people own slaves or involve with slave trade and not all white people are racist. What do you think of John Brown the European American abolitionist who in 1859 lead arm rebellion against slavery? But we should have knowledge of our selves and should not depend on these people for true liberation
@@drainmonkeys385Nice bit of patronising whataboutary . Well done.
Cant believe how humans can be so cruel...
My hometown in NC has a link to Liberia. Many of the enslaved who returned had worked and bough the plantation of they former master known as Happy Hill. This was part of a Moravian community in which their ancestors had been a part of until outside influences from the surrounding area forced the enslaved and white Moravian community into segregation. The lead to the founding of Saint Phillips church. This is one of the oldest black Moravian Church is in America. The descendants of Saint Phillips turned happy hill into the cities first economic suburb, and it became part of a rich African-American community that during segregation had one of the most economically independent black communities in North Carolina that included the only bus line in the nation on by blacks. My mother and Minnie on both sides of my family lived in do you happy Hill community, and one of the names of the streets in the community is Monrovia. Another name, Free St. We are so connected to our ancestors as a global diaspora.
I have seen these locations
from the trolls in the comment section you can really see that our ancestors are living in some people's heads rent-free
Our ancestors were not cowards
They fought for our future
They resist threats and were killed
Our only problem is tribal conflicts
Everyone wants to show their mightyness that brings infighting among us.
Which the African sold other African tribes to European.
@@nightslasher9384That's not true, that is the narration of the European's so that African's can hate eachother.
Nice documentary 😊
It is undoubtedly very shameful that humanity has evolved out of torture, colonization and wars over very long time and across the globe. When does that day come when humanity reaches at least a definition of mercy and understanding. It is again very shameful that we have reached many advances in science, still we didn't reach a simple definition of mercy!!!!
I am learning a lot today
Africa is different see how the historical buildings are maintained in west Africa and how they are maintained in Angola and Mozambique
They're not something we should cherish or worshipped like the Mozambique
FYI, the castles/forts in Ghana are deliberately kept that way by the Ghana Musuems and Monuments Board. If you care to know why, read about it online!
Black people are very important to the human race and the world. We have struggled but we hallways most hold up our heads and be proud people 🙏🙏🙏👍👍💜💙
Slavery has been abolished in Saint-Domingue (Haiti)in August 1793, years before the Europeans decided to do so, thanks to the massive uprising of the enslaved Black themselves.
Slavery was outlawed in Europe centuries before that. And then Europeans fought to end it globally. Europeans didn't invent slavery but they ended it.
@@Cl0ckcl0ck Of course, Europe is the Way, the Truth... it is Civilization. It is Life. Is not it?
We are talking about the whole system of the dehumanization of other human beings that European people implemented on the American continent. The African slaves in St-Domingue, Haiti, fought to end it. They did end it before the Europeans decided to do so for economic reasons
It’s so sad 😭
The greatest African anti slavery freedom fighters
Nat Turner, Jean Jacques Dessalines, Denmark Vesey, Gabriel Prosser, Sam Sharpe, Nanny and Harriet Tubman.
Dessalline is nothing but a tyrants hunger for power.
The greatest African stories to be told, are Timbuktu, Mali ,Ghana, songhi and others that didn't come until after AL Islam. Those countries in their time were the most advanced in the world and history.

Congratulations. Good job. Zainab
Looking forward to the next episode about South Africa
so painfully,we need a complete change now,
*I'm still waiting for a series on the Islamic and Arab slave trade that came before and lasted beyond the north atlantic slave trade. Like the fact that black Africans are being bought and sold today in places like Libya. Or the fact that the slave trade was only ended in Saudi Arabia in the year 1962.* *Slavery of black Africans still continues in many middle eastern countries today which is essentially ignored by those malcontents that continue a campaign of shame against a variety of European countries and the Americas.*
Mmm not sure it is a religious thing tho
Exactly and it's still happening. Look up Saudi Arabian "house maids" is what they call them. They are not paid and jailed for running away, and brought back to the "employers" they call it.
Best intro song
Good story. ZEINAB. This story wouldn't be complete if you do not do another documentary on Arab Slave trade. That was in place before the Transatlantic slave trade. It still exists in other forms.
Be blessed Zeinab.
The BBC couldn't do that, it will upset a lot of muslims (better not talk about it).
Slavery still exist to this day but in a different way and it's happening no just to Africans but mainly to all 3rd countries. Arab themselves have colonized us in North African people who are originally Amazigh but now our history get buried and replaced by Islamic history.
Zeinab covered slavery practiced by the Arabs in episode 13 of this series "Coast and Conquest"
It's was covered a bit in previous episodes on Eastern Africa
I have learned a lot, thanks to zeinab Badawi
Can Africans and African Americans forgive one another and unify🤔
I believe we can
It’s not two different ppl, it’s just the mentality. We are all Africans, the White man 🏷 us to confuse us. It’s not about forgiving, it’s bout realizing that we have been tricked or brainwashed to think that ones from the mother land are different from the ones that were actually enslaved and took on the White mans culture. Once we learn our history, we good.
@@famattathomas746The melinated people in America are waking ⏰ up to the fact that we are the aboriginals of America. We are not and never been Afrikans.
