ARUSHA,
Tanzania, June 21 (Xinhua) -- Tanzania's semi-autonomous Zanzibar
archipelago has launched the East African Slave Trade Center.
Minister of the State in Second Vice-President Office, Mohamed Aboud said
that the
new center will serve as an important area for researchers and
historians from across
the globe, who might want to understand how
slave trade was conducted in east Africa,
before being abolished in
1873.
"We're
very optimistic that the new center will make Zanzibar easily seen in
the world map,
due to its historic background. Key historical
information collected by historians will be
stored at the center," Aboud
said.
Zanzibar was one of the largest slave ports in the vast Indian Ocean slave trade, which
was dominated by Arab slave traders.

street leading to the House of Slaves on Goree Island, just off Dakar,
where thousands of African slaves were held before being sent to the
Americas. Senegal has declared slavery and the
slave
tradecrimes against humanity, putting the emphasis on a "duty to
remember" rather than seeking financial
reparations. The first of
millions of slaves shipped from Africa to the Americas in the Atlantic
slave trade came
from the west African nation and the law passed on
March 23, 2010 is the first on the continent declaring slavery
a crime
against humanity. (SEYLLOU/AFP PHOTO)
The
Arab slave trade originated before Islam and lasted more than a
millennium.
The slavers hacked their way from Bagamoyo on the Tanzania
mainland coast into
the African interior, as far west as the Congo.The
slavers traded, bribed chiefs, pillaged
and frequently kidnapped to
meet the high demand for slaves. The newly acquired
slaves were often
forced to carry ivory and other goods back to Bagamoyo.
The
name Bagamoyo is derived from the Kiswahili words "bwaga moyo" which
means
"lay down your heart", because it was here that slaves would
abandon any remaining
hope of freedom or escape. Slaves who survived the
long and perilous hike from the interior
were then crammed into wooden
boats called dhows bound for the slave markets in Stone
Town, Zanzibar.

Head
of Zanzibar Cultural Heritage Center, Nuhu Saranya said the idea behind
establishing
the center came after realizing tourism potentials in the
clove-rich island.
Saranya
said the center have five photos' exhibition rooms and history of
abolition of slave
trade in east Africa and neo-slave trade which is
ongoing across the world.
"One
of the rooms will be for story telling on slave trade for Tanzanian
mainland and
Zanzibar as well as special room for research," Saranya
said.
