Could enslavement be avoidable in Africa?

Introduction

The slavery of Africa can be avoidable though it is deeply rooted since its establishment. From many years, forced labor or slavery exists in Africa as there is no concept of democracy or human rights in this kingdom. Africa has been suffering from this issue due to many factors, as illiteracy rate is higher than other kingdoms and lack of basic resources are on peak. There are only few documented evidences that provide the complete detail over the slave practices in Africa. However, there is an evidence of slave trading which took place from Roman times after the fall of the Roman Empire. The African Empire is a key problematic area in terms of for modern slavery. The enslavement in Africa deepened from the medieval Arab slave trade and in the early modern trans-Atlantic slave trade. The demand of African slaves was constantly rising, as these were used for their personal interests. This trend persists from the colonial times during the late nineteen and early twentieth century. However, the authorities belong to colonies tried to subdue slavery, but it gained limited accomplishment, and after the demise of decolonization, slavery in Africa once again continues in a swift manner. This problem is severe particularly in the region of Sahel and somehow low extent to the Horn of Africa. Going back towards the Muslim conquests, the trend of slavery severely spread in the Africa boundaries.

Discussion

The practice of slavery can be avoided and even ended; until or unless the stable government takes the charge of African Empire. The reason of slavery in Africa is still existing as it lacks resources, people suffers from hunger, illiteracy in on peak, people distributed in tribes, no central government and Africans are not aware with the human rights. The slave trade in Africa is still holding its pace as different countries trade with Africa, and being an underdeveloped country, it usually do not have enough money to return back for the trade and the African King give their people on behalf of goods. In a simple manner, economic reasons are the most prominent figures to address enslavement in Africa. This was the chief motivation of the slave trade because Europeans required labor for their huge sugar plantation; therefore, they took advantage from African's poor state (Goody, 1980). This enslavement was the solution for the need of labor in the soil of America, and the cost was two times lesser than the European labor. The easy availability of African slavery certainly watered the mouth of big profit making giants, without thinking about the ethical and human right values. On the other hand, Africans proved themselves as obedient slaves to their masters and offered their best services to them. It has been reported by Evans and Richardson that African slaves were used to sold in £ 30-£ 32 to European buyers in the starting of the nineteenth century (Finley, 1980).
