Slavery in Sudan dates back to medieval times. It has recently had a resurgence during the second Sudanese Civil War that lasted between 1983 and 2005. During the war, human rights campaigners reported a rise in contemporary forms of slavery and accused the Sudanese government of supporting and arming various slave-taking militias in the country.
In response to these claims, the Sudanese government argued that slavery was a product of inter-tribal warfare over which it had no control.
Sadly, the shameful practice still continues in some parts of the country more than a decade after the war ended.
The majority of those enslaved in Sudan belong to the Dinka, Nuer, and Nuba tribes, which are predominantly Black in appearance.
Their masters are primarily Arabs from the Baggara ethnic group.

No wonder many Black African people that make it into America 'cherish' the American society opportunity of freedom, the pursuit of happiness and prosperity regardless of the high odds of Black people daily encounter with America's social foundation of racism.
FREDRICK NGUGI, thanks for writing this eye opening report that I personally had limited information about prior to reading. Our race enemies persist in keeping its wicked foot of enslavement that humanly degenerates our race and kind.
