During the era of the trans-Atlantic slave trade, Europeans did not have
the power to invade African states or kidnap enslaved Africans. Because of this, between 15 and 20 million enslaved people were transported across
the Atlantic Ocean from Africa and purchased from traders of enslaved
people throughout Europe and European colonies.1
Prior to the arrival of Europeans, African slaves were exported to the Arab world for over a thousand years:

It seems strange that so many American blacks embraced Islam in the 1960's
and 70's, and yet historically the Muslims were some of the worst slavers,
and still are in the Sudan. Of course you'll never hear that from black "leaders," especially Jesse Jackson and Louis Farrakhan. When it comes to
the modern-day slave trade, to say that there will be hell to pay for any American black who dares to expose the Arab side of the slave trade is an understatement. Chancellor Williams, author of the black nationalist and Afrocentric work "The Destruction of Black Civilization," learned that the
hard way. Had he restricted himself to simply bashing Europeans, he'd have been a hero among those blacks who show an almost slave-like devotion to
the Islamic world. But by attacking those Arab Muslims who also bought and enslaved Africans by the millions, he became a pariah. He didn't adhere to
the party line. Williams died penniless and forgotten in a Washington
nursing home in 1992...
