Slavery Has Returned to Africa

Benin was once called Dahomey where King Tegbesu made 250,000 pounds a year selling people into slavery in 1750.
When the British wanted King Tegbesu in 1840's to stop the slave trade he expressed a desire to do anything else but that.

So the British came along and made that end and then they patrolled the west coast of Africa with the West Africa Squadron and made sure that they intercepted any slave ships that came along and they freed these slaves.

East Africa had slave trade was operated mostly via the Arabs that did much the same thing except they did it earlier. On the East Africa slave trade front, the men would be castrated so they couldn’t produce children. Any that survived castration would be shipped off to Arabia or Tanzania to be used as slaves on plantations.

In 2009 the African Chiefs had to apologies for the slave trade.

The Loans that Britain took out to end the slave trade were only finished being paid off in 2014.

2009 The Civil Rights Congress of Nigeria has written to tribal chiefs saying: “We cannot continue to blame the white men, as Africans, particularly the traditional rulers, are not blameless.”

Uganda currently in 2019 has again revived the slave trade.
This is the same place where the British ended slavery and then created a cotton trade where only native Uganda’s could own land to grow the cotton to sell to the merchants.
Now that the countries that brought a stop to the slave trade in Africa have left slavery has returned to Uganda.

After decolonization slavery is back. This story was brought out in May of 2019.
Since 2017 after the collapse of Gaddafi’s regime in Libya which the Western European powers are responsible for it. Well, it looks like the slave trade has returned because of all of these migrants trying to get across to Europe.
