Talk:Trans-Saharan slave trade

The article uses arab both in its modern and historical sense
Arab as arabic peninsula, and arab as basically the (sometimes disputed) use of arab over basically all arabic speaking muslim countries. --Joujyuze (talk) 07:50, 2 June 2021 (UTC)

The term "Arab Slave trade"
The first source used (Selected Topics in Migration Studies, p27) does not claim that the Trans Saharan slave trade is also known as the "Arab slave trade" it clearly states that the Trans Saharan trade is referred to as the Arab trade:

"The Trans-Saharan slave trade was conducted within the ambits of the trans-Saharan trade, otherwise referred to as the Arab trade" Wiki Sidahmed (talk) 21:32, 9 September 2023 (UTC)


 * @Wiki Sidahmed I didn't check the source but I believe both are wrong terms. The Saharan slave trade wasn't exclusive to the Arabs; Berber states in North Africa, such as the Almoravids and the Almohads in Morocco, were also involved. TybenFree (talk) 15:47, 31 January 2024 (UTC)

Slave trade
As an African American, I am well aware, as you should be and probably are, that this slave trade is still going on. In 2021, CNN spoke about it while interviewing a little bit. Stop being so political. Report the facts. You are the slave masters in today’s modern time. 174.196.130.117 (talk) 20:18, 22 October 2023 (UTC)


 * How in the heck is this related? This is about when this slave trade was legal. Illegal slavery (human trafficking) takes place in all places and to all kinds of people, including Africans trafficking other Africans. Please direct your complaints to the page on human trafficking. 2605:A601:A900:A701:C4E8:6FFF:FE90:74EC (talk) 17:38, 11 November 2023 (UTC)

 * What the hell are talking about? There is no evidence that trans-Saharan slave trade exists today. Probably you're referring to Mauritania? Maybe you can provide a link to CNN for reference TybenFree (talk) 11:19, 1 February 2024 (UTC)

Neutrality
The article isn't neutral. The Trans-Saharan slave trade involved not only Arabs but also Berber states like the Almoravids and Almohads, moreover, Arabs themselves were victims of this slavery. TybenFree (talk) 15:57, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
