CAIRO — Tribal clashes that erupted over the weekend between Arabs and non-Arabs in Sudan’s western Darfur region have killed at least 40 people and wounded around 60 others, the U.N. said Monday.
The violence was between the Arab Rizeigat and the Masalit tribes in Genena, the provincial capital of West Darfur province. It happened after unknown armed men on Saturday shot dead two people from the Masalit, according to the U.N. humanitarian affairs agency.

Farrakhan betrays today's black slaves
Nation of Islam head Louis Farrakhan continues to maintain his silence regarding black slavery in Muslim North Africa while blaming the troubles of black people worldwide on the Jews.

Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan is now the most popular and dangerous anti-Semite in America. Neo-Nazis and white supremacists are surely a problem for Jews, but polite society rejects them. Their best effort to date – a "national rally" in Charlottesville, Va. – drew a few hundred people, whereas Farrakhan's rants excite adoring crowds many times that size. His online influence is growing.
... Farrakhan has open sympathizers in positions of power. What Louis Farrakhan says about Jews will only reach more and more people. His July 4 address to the nation was pulled by Fox TV's Soul channel after sparking outrage among decent people, but millions will still see what he has to say on social media. Billboards advertise his talk along the highways of Atlanta, Baltimore, Charlotte, Chicago, Compton, Dearborn, Detroit, and Phoenix.
Though he is a clear and present danger to Jews, Jewish leaders find it difficult to press black activists to renounce Farrakhan because the black community perceives him as a black liberator. That is why it is more important than ever to understand precisely how this is untrue: Farrakhan has covered up and sought to deny the modern-day enslavement of Africans by Arabs and Muslims. He has been and continues to be an obstacle to their liberation.
In the early 1990s I, along with Mohamed Nacir Athié, a Mauritanian African Muslim refugee, launched an American movement to free black chattel slaves in North Africa. In Sudan, as part of a war waged by the Arab north against the black, mostly Christian south, Arabs stormed African villages, killed the men and captured the women and children to serve as goatherds, domestics, and sex slaves. In Mauritania, Muslim Berbers, who had conquered the area centuries before, have since kept black people as slaves even when they had long ago been converted to Islam.
When Athié and I appeared on PBS's national black-focused news show – Tony Brown's Journal – the Nation of Islam pressured PBS to allow its spokesman, Akbar Muhammed, equal time. Akbar claimed that reports of slavery were a "big lie," and part of a "Jewish conspiracy" against Minister Farrakhan.
As it turned out, Akbar was Farrakhan's man in Muammar Gaddafi's Libya, itself a slaving hellhole. According to Clarence Page of The Chicago Tribune, Gaddafi loaned Farrakhan $5 million in 1984.
On the heels of the Tony Brown debates, there were fireworks in New York's black press. Cornered at a news conference on March 14, 1996, Farrakhan was asked about the slaves of Sudan. The New York Times reported that an emotional Farrakhan shot back: "If slavery exists, why don't you go, as a member of the press?! And you look inside of the Sudan, and if you find it, then you come back and tell the American people what you found!"
The Baltimore Sun took up the challenge and dispatched reporters to Sudan where they bought the freedom of two young African slave boys from an Arab slave retriever. Their report ran as a front-page series in the Sun and was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize. Leaders of the South Sudanese peoples' struggle for liberation then asked Farrakhan for his help. He promised he would help them but betrayed them instead.
Today, there could still be as many as 35,000 Africans in bondage to Arab masters in Sudan. Mauritanian blacks continue to serve as slaves to Arab and Berber masters in Mauritania. The black Muslim soldiers of Boko Haram in Nigeria enslave black Christians. CNN has video of Libyans holding black slave auctions, and in Algeria, Africans seeking a passageway to Europe are being caught and enslaved.
Farrakhan continues to stay quiet about black slavery in Muslim North Africa while blaming the troubles of black people worldwide on the Jews.
Farrakhan has covered up and sought to deny the modern-day enslavement of Africans by Arabs and Muslims. He has been and continues to be an obstacle to their liberation.

Genocide and Slavery in the Sudan: The Farrakhan Connection
Sabit Abbe Alley
The City Sun, June 6 – 11, 1996, edition
While most African Americans are beginning to awaken to the reality of the tragic situation of genocide and slavery in the Sudan, the NOI’s Louis Farrakhan still continues to aggressively deny and defend the Islamic fundamentalist regime of Sudan from its genocidal war and slave industry. Following his return from his so-called world tour, Mr. Farrakhan traveled the length and breadth of this country not just to preach and boast about his reception in Africa but also to absolve the Sudan’s government from its current war of extermination and enslavement against the African people of the Sudan.

Ever hear of the Zanj Rebellion? We've all heard of Spartacus, but Zanj was a rebellion in Mozlem territory. Islam has no problem with slavery. In fact slaves are considered a reward from Allah for fighting for his true faith! A faith so true you are commanded to lie about it when it looks bad!
Nevermind wypipo.
Louis Farrakhan is a real sweetheart. He might as well be a slaver himself, with all the aid he gives to actual slaveholders, with his cover, intimidation, and lies. The Democrats are in bed with this monster.
They are literally complicit with some of the worst human rights violations in the world today, not to mention their subservience to the CCP. And they call us “racists”. Really, now.
You are right. I did read once about the Zanji rebellion.

Anti-black racism is not just an Egyptian problem. It exists in many parts of the Arab world. The trade that sent enslaved Africans east of the continent has yet to have a similar reckoning — incomplete as it is — as that which headed west of Africa. The word “abeed” (slave) is casually a used to refer to people who are black in the Levant and the Arabian Peninsula.
