Kizazi cha watumwa kutoka Afrika ya Mashariki kilifutika?

[Mukuru]

Biashara ya utumwa ilifanyika miongo kadhaa iliyopita (inasemekana bado inafanyika baadhi ya maeneo duniani) na kusababisha watu weusi kuenea maeneo mbalimbali duniani mfano visiwa vya Carrebean, Amerika ya kusini, Marekani na kwingineko.

Nimesoma kuwa watumwa wengi kutoka Afrika Mashariki waliuzwa uarabuni lakini sijafanikiwa kupata maelezo ya uhakika iweje hakuna watu wenye asili ya afrika kama ilivyo maeneo mengine. Je, kizazi cha watumwa huko uarabuni kilifutika kabisa?

Naomba wana-JF walio na ufahamu wa suala hili mnifumbue macho.

 

[Mbega Mzuri]

Hii nzuri, tunahitaji kujifunza kwa wanahistoria watueleze, maana waarabu waliokuja tangu enzi hizo za ukoloni tunaviona vizazi vyao wengine wakiwa hata ndani ya serikali yetu. ina maana waafrika wamebadilika ngozi na kuwa weupe?

 

[Katavi]

Kuna tetesi kuwa korodani zao zilikuwa zinapondwa na nyundo ili wasiwe na uwezo wa kuzaa, na ndio maana kizazi chao kikapotea!

 

[Kimey]

May be waarabu wao walikua ndo middle men wa hiyo biashara na watumwa walikua hawapelekwi uarabuni bali kwenye hizo nchi zilizokua zinanunua watumwa!!

 

[Kweli]

Tofauti na Trans-Atlantic slave Trade ambapo watumwa wengi waliuzwa North America and The Carrebean kupitia Europe , watumwa wengi katika "East Africa slave trade" zaidi mnamo karne ya 18 - 19 waliuzwa kwa mabebari ya kiarabu ambao walikuwa wanamiliki mashamba katika visiwa vya ukanda huu wa Afrika Mashariki, (Unguja,Pemba,Reunion,Mauritius na Madagascar) na waliwatumia watumwa hao kwa kazi za kulima na majumbani. Kizazi cha watumwa hao bado kimetapkaa katika sehemu hizi mpaka leo.

Sources and Destinations of African Slaves

[...] Owing to the native abundance of cheap labor in Asia, Asian demand for East African slaves always remained low. So, unlike the trans-Atlantic slave trade, Indian ocean slave traffic was sporadic and small in volume with two exceptiuons during the eigth to ninth centuries and the nineteenth century. During the 8th and 9th centuries labor demands increased with the reclamation of marsh land in Southern Iraq. In the 19th century the volume of slave traffic began to rise due to the demand for slaves on plantations on Zanzibar, Pemba, Reunion, Mauritius and Madagascar. In contrast to the tran-Atlantic slave trade the documentation for the total amount of slaves taken out of East Africa is fragmentary and uneven with the exception of the ninetennth century trade. Consequently, estimates for the total period are at best educated guesses. Some scholars estimate the total volume of the trade at four million with a constant yearly traffic of about five hundred to seven hundred. These figures spiked during the 7th and 9th centuries and the 19th century. During the 19th century the yearly traffic ranged from 3,000 to twenty thousand per year.[...]

Lakini pia zipo kumbukumbu zinazosema kwamba baadhi ya watumwa hawa waliuzwa kwa wazungu na kuishia Amerika.

Re the Sultanate of Oman - "The accession of ... Sayyid ibn Sultan in 1791" by Elizabeth Heath - Under "Africa/ Zanzibar" on www.africana.com:
"During the first years of his reign [late 18th/early 19th C], Said increased Zanzibar's role in the Indian Ocean slave trade by hiring traders, such as Tippu Tip, to bring slaves from the African interior to be sold to American and European merchants at the Zanzibari market.Within 20 years, however, Europeans naval forces were attempting to shut down the Indian Ocean slave trade, and Said was forced to sign agreements that not only forbade him to sell slaves to non-Muslims but to North Africans as well."

Tusidanganyane eti waliuzwa kwa wazungu.

Majority ya watu weusi walioko Amerika ya kaskazini na kusini walitoka nchi zinazo pakana na pwani ya Afrika magharibi kutoka Namibia mpaka Senegal. Kimawasiliano ni nafuu kumtoa mtumwa kutoka sehemu hiyo mpaka bara la Amerika kwasababu wanavuka bahari ya Atlantic peke yake. Sasa hakuna mantiki kumchukua mtumwa kutoka East Africa umpeleke Amerika kwa sababu itabidi avuke Indian ocean na Atlantic Ocean.

Kwa kifupi babu zetu toka East Africa waliochukuliwa utumwani, walifanyiwa kitu mbaya na waarabu. Yaani waliwavunja korodani (castrate) na kuwanyanyasa kijinsia kwa kufanyiza kazi za kuwaogesha wake zao pamoja na kuwaingilia hao watumwa kinyume cha maumbile yao.

Kwa upande wa watumwa wa kike unaweza kuona baadhi ya machotara wa kiarabu tulionao kule Pemba, Unguja, Oman n.k.

 

[FirstLady1]

lakini sidhani kama ni kweli mpaka sasa kuna biashara ya watumwa kwenye dunia hii ya utandawazi

 

[Idimi]

May be waarabu wao walikua ndo middle men wa hiyo biashara na watumwa walikua hawapelekwi uarabuni bali kwenye hizo nchi zilizokua zinanunua watumwa!!

Ni kweli kabisa, waarabu walikuwa ni mawakala wa Waingereza, katika kupeleka watumwa kwa makoloni ya Waingereza kabla ya mapinduzi ya viwanda ya Uingereza ya mwaka 1850.

Kwa hiyo watumwa wa east Afrika walipelekwa pemba na Unguja???

Kusema kuwa watumwa kutoka Afrika mashariki hawakwenda nchi za Marekani ni kutokuwa na data kamili.

Wakati mataifa kama uingereza yalipositisha na kupiga marufuku biashara ya watumwa, walitumia majeshi ya maji kuzuia biashara hiyo. Lakini waReno waliendeleza. Hili waReno kukwepa vizuizi hivyo, walichukua watumwa kutoka Afrika Mashariki na kuzunguka nao Afrika Kusini na kupiga safari kwenda Brazil.

Na kuhusu kuwa ni babu zetu waliochukuliwa utumwani hiyo ni siasa tu. Wengi wa watumwa hawa walikamatwa na sisi tuliobaki na kuwauza kwa waarabu au wareno. Hivyo uwezi kuwalalamikia waarabu wakati wewe ndiye uliye wauza.

Empires nyingi tunazojivunia kama vile ya Mirambo iliendelea kwa sababu ya kujishughulisha na biashara ya watumwa. Hivyo kama ni babu yako ndiye aliyechukuliwa utumwa basi wewe ungekuwa Marekani, Shelisheli.

Matumizi ya watumwa yalikuwa kwa kazi za nyumbani au mashambani. Kama wapo waliokatwa korodani basi ni wafanyakazi wa nyumbani ambao ni sehemu ndogo sana ya watumwa. Sehemu kubwa ya watumwa ilichukuliwa kwenda kwenye kufanya kazi mashambani.

Katika sehemu zilizofanyika shughuli za mashamba kama vile Iraq, India wapo watu wenye asili ya Afrika Mashariki. Na hii ni source kuonyesha.

waarabu wahuni sana! Hii historia imefichwa na hakuna mtu anataka kuzungumzia! Pumbafu! Hawa jamaa ni wahuni mbaya! Walimfanyia Mwaafrika kitu mbaya sana, alafu sisi tunawabembeleza na Loliondo, nk. Inauma sana.
Safi sana kwa kuleta hii topic...

Bro, tuko kuelimishana, si kudanganyana!

....Kwa upande wa watumwa wa kike unaweza kuona baadhi ya machotara wa kiarabu tulionao kule Pemba, Unguja, Oman n.k....

Duh!
hii inahitaji ufafanuzi wa kina

dah si mchezo jamani

Watumwa walipelkwa Arabuni wengi wao ni ma rulers kwa sasa.

 

[Jasusi]

Watumwa walipelkwa Arabuni wengi wao ni ma rulers kwa sasa.

Kama nani?

 

[Bluray]

Ni kweli walipelekwa uarabuni
Ni kweli wengi wao walihasiwa
On the positive side Imam mkuu wa Saudi Arabia ni kati yao see "The Saudi Obama"
Kuna wachache sana wamebakia na wengi wao ni illiterate na wanafichwa ndani ndani kabisa.Nakumbuka miaka ya mwanzo ya 90s kuna rafiki yangu mmoja alienda kuchimba mafuta Oman, akanieleza alivyokutana naye mmoja, mzee, mweusi,alikuwa anaongea kiarabu tu, hajui kusoma wala kuandika wala hajui mambo ya dunia ya nje ya mazingira yake ya karibu.

Biashara ya utumwa inaendelea mpaka leo hii Sudan ya kusini.

His Royal Highness
Prince Bandar Ibn Sultan Ibn Abdulaziz
Ambassador of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to the United States
Doctor of Laws Biographical Note

His Royal Highness Prince Bandar bin Sultan bin Abdulaziz is the Ambassador of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to the United States of America.​

Sheikh Saad al-Abddullah al-Sabah, who died on Tuesday aged 78, became the 14th Emir of Kuwait in 2006 on the death of Emir Jaber.


Sheikh Saad al-Abdullah al-Salem al-Sabah, born in 1930, was the eldest son of the 11th Emir of Kuwait, Sheikh Abdullah III al-Salem al-Sabah, the man regarded as the founder of modern Kuwait, and of an African woman called Jamila. having headed the Kuwaiti government-in-exile after Saddam Hussein invaded his country in 1990; already in failing health when he took the throne, he reigned for only nine days before being removed by the country's National Assembly.
Sheikh Saad's finest hour came after Emir Jaber and his court had fled to neighbouring Saudi Arabia as Iraqi troops overran Kuwait on August 2 1990. While the Emir remained shell-shocked by the diplomatic fiasco that had preceded the Iraqi onslaught, Sheikh Saad applied his energy to building a coalition of 30 nations to liberate Kuwait.

You should remember that 2/3rd of all Arabs are African.

For Lailah23, "Black" Arab pop singers

By GustavoMustafa - Posted on February 2nd, 2009

On a lighter note, but in all seriousness, the "personal is political."
Most of the Arab world's female vocalists in the pop arena could pass to be "white" women.
When improving my Arabic pronunciation, I listen to pop music from the Arab world.
Two women stand out in terms of vocals and quality of their music, both are Black Arab women, a sad rarity in the Arab world despite 2/3 of all Arabs being African.
Egypt's Shereen Ahmad and Saudi Arabia's Waed. YouTube them!

Shukran GM, they are both so

Shukran GM, they are both so beautiful and talented, I hope that they get the international
recognition they deserve and keep their clothes on while doing it.
I know there are beautiful black women all over the world. Maybe its a good thing they've been kept hidden away, like your best diamonds and gold. Somehow I would not like to
see them get too Hollowwood, but who knows.
What a treat.

Hao unaowasema wa Loliondo utakuta asili yao ni wa hapa hapa kwani 2/3rd of Arabs are African, besides, wa Loliondo ni UAE na wakati huo wa zama za waArabu kutawala, Oman ilitawala hapa kwetu na karibu pwani yote, na waarabu wajulikanavyo, wamejichanganya na wenyeji. Wengi wetu tuna mashemeji, wajomba, binamu, shangazi au japo jirani mwenye asili ya kiarabu. Hali kadhalika hata huko Arabuni, zaidi nch za Gulf, zina historia ndefu sana na hapa kwetu. Wahabashi walishatawala huko, yemen na sehemu kubwa ya uarabuni, kama waAfrika walitawala huko, huoni kuwa hawa Loliondo ni katika wenzetu?
