Unfortunately, slavery is still a way of life in Africa and is still practiced in many Arab countries. The Arabs and Taureg people of Mauretania frequently raid neighboring Senegal for Black African slaves. One of the main causes for the long civil war in the Sudan is due to the Arabized north raiding the southern Black Nuba and Dinka villages for young slaves, preferably, females. Did you know that the former leader of Egypt, Anwar Sadat, is the product of an Arab father and one of his Black slaves (concubines). Also, the former Saudi Arabian ambassador to the U.N is the son of King Faisal and one of his Black female slaves captured in the Sudan at age 9. If you ever saw the ambassador, he looks exactly like any regular AA male. This information was from a 60 Minutes interview with the Ambassador.
