Ruh Roh! Say it isn't so! It appears the much admired Mali Empire of 13th and 14th centuries rose to power by defeating a few of it's weaker neighboring countries and enslaving their people. They were able to take control of valuable gold mines and trade routes and exploited a massive pool of free labor from their enslaved populattion. Tsk Tsk even centuries ago, it appears Black people's worst enemy is.....other Black people. Read it for yourself.
Mali -- slave trades
