Slavery in Modern Africa

By: Miller, Frederic P.

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Slavery in Africa continues today. Slavery existed in Africa before the arrival of Europeans - as did a slave trade that exported millions of Africans to North Africa, the Middle East, and the Persian Gulf. This trade existed following the Arab conquests of regions beneath Northern Africa and thus became widespread throughout the continent. The trading of children has been reported in modern Nigeria and Benin. The children are kidnapped or purchased for $20 - $70 each by slavers in poorer states, such as Benin and Togo, and sold into slavery in sex dens or as unpaid domestic servants for $350.00 each in wealthier oil-rich states, such as Nigeria and Gabon. The organization "Free The Slaves" organized an event in Ghana against Slavery in June 2010. especially against child slaves.
