[QUOTE]Originally posted by markellion: [QB] Its true though. People talk about the "Arab slave trade" but the "Arabs" apparently didn't care to put forth the capital to sustain it. And is he including Swahili as being Arabs? East African slave trade http://books.google.com/books?id=A23WAAAAMAAJ&pg=PA291&dq=t#v=onepage&q=&f=false [QUOTE] Every British subject taking any part, direct or indirect, in the trade, is guilty of felony ; and if this is distinctly known, and it is known also that every effort will be made by our Bombay Government to trace home to the offender any such act, and if need be, to punish it with the utmost rigour of the law, we shall have at once done much to destroy the infamous traffic. [b]For Dr. Livingstone is no doubt perfectly right in saying that, whilst the Arabs are ready enough to find the men who will conduct the actual risks of the trade, they have not the wealth necessary to advance the capital required. ' It is well known,' he declares in a despatch to Lord Granville, received on the 18th of August of this year, ' that the slave-trade in this country is carried on almost entirely with the money of Ludha Damji, the richest Banian in Zanzibar, and that of other Banian British subjects. The Banians advance the goods required, and the Arabs proceed inland as their agents, perform the trading or rather murder; and when slaves and ivory are brought to the coast the Arabs sell the slaves; the Banians pocket the price, and adroitly let the odium rest on their agents.'—Despatches, p. 10. Moreover, as the Customs are farmed at Zanzibar by Banians, many of whom are British subjects, or living under British protection; and as a very large proportion of these Customs is levied openly and avowedly from the duty on slaves here in another way, the subjects of the British Crown are mixed directly up with the forbidden trade in its most open manifestations.[/b][/QUOTE] [/QB][/QUOTE]
