Yes and rival, spite filled gangs from various tribes hated each other and caught slaves to sell.
When I was in the Ivory Coast my interpreter would explain to me how certain villages used to be his ancestors slaves.

Despite former lawmaker John Leerdam telling Dutch broadcaster NOS that this was an "historic moment", many in the Netherlands felt as though the apology is not enough.Doelja Refos, 28, said that, despite feeling good, they are "looking forward to something more than just apologies".
This is why an apology is a bad idea.
Mr Refos, were you a slave? No? Then no one owes you anything.
