I'm Ethiopian and I know the father of my grand father had many slaves. I'm not proud of that disgusting history but slave trade in Ethiopia was common and mostly for domestic market. The traders were not some white foreigners but Abyssinian Ethiopians themselves. As I said it was simply common in Ethiopia until recently for a wealthy Abyssinian/Ethiopian to have many slaves that were brought from the southern non-Abyssinian tribes. It is simply a very different history compared to west africa.
OMG, please read some history. Yes, there was a slave trade in Ethiopia until the time of Haile Selassie, the last Emperor. But Abyssinians were NOT slaves but the traders. All the Emperors were Abyssinians and the slaves were brought from the south of non-Abyssinian tribes. Second, the slave trade in Ethiopia was mostly for domestic market and few were for Arab countries. No evidence is there to suggest that it was for Americas. None! So, don't confuse west africa slave trade with Ethiopia.
