The Akhdam of Yemen

[upepo]

Numbering between half-a-million and 3 million, the Akhdam are Afro-Yemenis who are the descendents of a pre-Islamic Ethiopian army that invaded the country more than 1500 years ago. One popular belief holds that they are descendants of Nilotic Sudanese people who accompanied the Abyssinian army during the latter's occupation of Yemen in the pre- Islamic period. They remained in the country as slaves and servants once the occupation ended, and subsequently became the lowest rung in the Imamate’s caste system. When the Imam was overthrown during the revolution in 1962 slavery in Yemen was officially abolished, yet the stigma of being a member of the “Akhdam” remains. Set apart by their African features, they face much discrimination, and are mostly confined to menial labor. Most of the ‘Akhdam’ live in slums, known as 'mahwa’, on the outskirts of Yemen’s largest cities.

Sometimes I think that we are the descendants of the demons that were cast down by God and went on to sire giants.( The book of Enoch)
We are the outsiders even in the Bible. We were slaves to the Israelites, the slaves to the Arabs, the slaves to the wazungus as recent as 150 years ago , currently getting enslaved by the Chinese, and now we are trying to enslave each other with the BBI.... kikikikkkk...

maybe God's way of showing his love to us is that we are still alive after going through all that and some.
i am amazed at how we still keep going despite what is done to us by others or ourselves.

sisi ndio Punda ya binadamu.

but i agree, there is something really wrong with the Black person. but am sure it stems from being friendly/kind/trusting and being brainwashed.

You kidding? What did we do to deserve that love for us?

won't we all want to know.
but that's for the religious folks.

what explanation would you give for the way the black person is treated, treats themselves and behaves? or is should stop looking for a reason and accept things as they are?

In reality hizi vitu zililetwa na mzungu after invading those places and creating His own History meant to divide and rule. Angalia Rwanda and Burundi hutu tutsi genocide. Look at Sudan, Egypt, Nigeria, Senegal, Gambia and Mauritania on matters slavery.
