From Nigeria to the Congo Africa slipped back into Banditry, tribal warfare that is that is not terribly different from the slave raiding of the 1700s.

Moslems were the middlemen. The tribal chiefs they bought from sent their bandit gangs out to catch slave material. And the worst of the tribalism in Africa now is still the Moslems but as a great big Moslem trib. And Moslems still keep black slaves in Mauretania and Sudan.
