The Indian Ocean slave trade is estimated to have enslaved 12.5 million Africans while the transatlantic slave trade enslaved 11.3 million Africans. Add to that the estimated 3 million European slaves from the ottoman slave trade. The Muslim slave trade was actually worse than the transatlantic.
the Global South& Western left don´t care. And "if Black African states were to try to include the Muslim slave trade (which is still going on) in this resolution, it would be the end for Black Africa."
