[QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness,: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by typeZeiss: Now it is a fact a lot of white and tan tamashek are lower class and slaves. Same for white fulani. They too were slaves at one point.i personally know descendants of slave fulani of white ancestry [/QB][/QUOTE]As per European slaves in North Africa they were primarily acquired by the Ottomans and Moroccans as a result of pirating ships (male crews) and raiding of coastal European towns by ship (men, women, children) and the Ottoman trade of Central Asian and Eastern European slaves. The high estimate is 1-1.25 million. Many of these Europeans would return to their former countries. I have heard of Fulani slave trading but never of European slaves. I assume they would be hard to acquire and not very available to them, so if it happened, I would guess it was very rare Also: The Abbasid caliphs of Baghdad unwittingly create a group of considerable power in the Middle East. To strengthen their armies, they acquire slaves from the nomadic Turks of central Asia. These slaves, who become known as Mamelukes (from the Arabic mamluk, 'owned'), distinguish themselves in the service of the caliphate and are often given positions of military responsibility. Well placed to advance their own interests, they frequently take the opportunity. The first Mameluke to seize extensive power is Ahmad ibn Tulun. In the early 870s he takes control of Egypt. By 877 he has conquered the Mediterranean coast through Palestine and up into Syria. This first Mameluke dynasty lasts only a few decades, until 905. But the Mamelukes retain their importance and power throughout the Middle East. They have the natural strength of a small, self-aware military elite. They speak their own Turkish language in addition to the Arabic of their official masters (the weak caliphs in Baghdad, whose rule technically extends throughout the Muslim Middle East). And they constantly replenish their numbers with new recruits from the fierce tribes of central Asia and the Caucasus. The height of Mameluke power begins in 1250, when they again seize control of Egypt. Ten years later they confront the Mongols.
