Yesterday, a Declaration of the trafficking of enslaved Africans and Racialized Chattel Enslavement of Africans as the Gravest Crime against Humanity was voted at UNO. As usual, Israel and the USA voted against. How did your country vote? Any thoughts about it?

So it's about the duration?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trans-Saharan_slave_trade

There's even youtube videos os merchants buying slaves in the 60's.

Maybe you need to learn history from historians and not from tiktoks
