WITH THE SLAVE HUNTERS IN ABYSSINIA

An Arab Trader Shows How He Captures Human Chattels for the Markets of the Near East



AT Addis Ababa we had learned that, despite the decrees of the Negus, slavery existed in Abyssinia within view of the foreign legations, and at Harrar we had seen it in its absolute form.

Human beings-though perhaps one must say human beings in their most elementary stage of development-were there serving others just as animals are used. They had no rights and every duty. Their masters fed them just as it pleased them. They punished them terribly according to their humor, The slaves could not marry. Their children did not belong to them, but to their masters. They had no recourse.

The primitive courts of Abyssinia do not deal with the complaints of slaves. There is a tacit agreement between the owners of human flesh and the judges which renders inoperative the decree of liberation which the Negus recently promulgated. Flight is impossible for a slave. Most of them are taken very young and do not even remember the country of their origin. All they can recollect is some vague image of the forests and huts in which they were born. And if urged by despair they try to escape, they cannot get far. Their physical type marks them.

Fifi, the Arab Abid Concubine slave doggy dog wants to be reminded that Eritreans are being sold and exchanged in year 2026, in the savage Arab Islamic world.
In fact the savage Arabs hate the young Eritreans so much, they tear down the Eritrean passport written in Arabic Muslim language with an Arabian camel on its front cover and shove it in the azzzziz of Eritreans. The Eritreans are shortly hauled to Arab prisons and raped by the savage Arab police. Eritreans are charged 4000 US$ and deported back to the "Hell of Africa", aka, Eritrea with their bloody azzzz.

When Abyssinia requested to join The League of Nations (which is now known as The United Nations), one of the requirements was for Abyssinia to outlaw slavery, particularly the slave trade, as a condition for membership. It was a very difficult decision to make for the Abyssinian emperor who benefited from the slave trade.

"Slavery in Ethiopia was not abolished until 1942... and let that sink in..."

[Fiyameta]

Slavery was once widespread in Ethiopia. Stretching back centuries, slaves served as soldiers, domestic servants and labourers, who were put to work at royal courts, in churches and fields.

Many were born into servitude. Others were captured in raids and during wars, or sold into slavery after they failed to pay debts. Much of the trade was domestic, although Ethiopian slaves were also sold across the Red Sea to Arabia and Turkey, where they were prized as concubines and servants.

Ahmed Hassen, a professor of history at Addis Ababa University, says the number of enslaved people ebbed and flowed, especially during times of war, but estimates that up to one-third of Ethiopians were enslaved at different points in history.

“They are hiding the story because they feel ashamed,” says Zerfe Argaw, who lives on a farmstead a few miles outside Dalbo. “It is seen as a closed subject; people don’t want to talk about it.”
