Haratine mothers do not own their children; they are instead passed down through their masters estates. Captives are
bought and sold, given as wedding gifts, and traded for camels, trucks, or guns. The enslaved Africans perform
domestic work, haul water, and shepherd cattle.
Sudan has seen a resurgence of slavery since 1983. During the second Sudanese civil war, as many as 200,000 people
had been taken into slavery. The indigenous ethnic groups in South Sudan are often attacked by North African Arabs,
who kill men and imprison children and women as slaves. Physical maiming is not uncommon and is usually done to
the captives to instill fear and prevent escape.
According to CBS News, slaves have been sold for $50 per person. Many of the perpetrators of these atrocities are
mixed-race and Arabized Blacks who have completely rejected their African identities and murder and enslave in the
interest of Arabs.
Slavery also occurs in a number of other African countries including Somalia, Mali, Niger, and Chad.
Neocolonialism in Africa by the US, European countries, Arab Nations and China
American, Chinese, Arab and European powers have embarked on a new scramble for Africa, targeting its natural
resources.
The Chinese are traveling to Africa in large numbers, with over 1 million Chinese citizens on the continent already and
more arriving daily. Angola alone has a Chinese population of over 350,000.
Chinas direct investment in Africa today exceeds $50 billion, but most of the profits are returned to China and do not
largely benefit the people of the African nations.
The presence of the United States is also expanding. The Pentagons Africa Command suggests there is one military
base on the continent, but according to sources, the U.S. military is at work throughout Africa in base construction,
security cooperation engagements, training exercises, advisory deployments, special operations missions, and a
growing logistics network all undeniable evidence of expansion to secure its interests there.
Arab expansionists in Sudan are currently killing native Africans in Darfur and Nubia to grab land and resources and
make way for Arabs outside the continent to resettle there. Over the past 50 to 60 years, Arabs have killed or enslaved
millions of Africans, seizing land from them and displacing them in their efforts.
advancements. They understood the importance of binding together for success. Black people have been unable to
accomplish this unity and so the Black world today is often divisive leading to mediocre governments, poor military
defense, weak economies and other issues.
Black tribalism is also part of the reason why Europeans and Asians have been able to take advantage of Blacks
politically, economically and physically. For example, the colonial Belgian government began actively promoting
tensions between the Hutu and Tutsi after World War I when it took control of Rwanda.

Unity in Africa is challenging under these circumstances. This is unlike Europe, which is only one-third the size of
Africa and whose population have been unified by Christianity for almost 2,00o years.
Economic, social, and political development in Africa and the Diaspora is essential to Black unity, which is absolutely
necessary if we are to effectively address major world forces that threaten the Black world.
It was a neglect of collective security that made it possible for other groups to divide, conquer, enslave, and colonize
Black people repeatedly over the last 2,000 years. Building a Black world collective security system is, therefore, of
vital importance for our dignity, self-respect and more importantly, our survival.
