THE ENSLAVEMENT OF SIERRA LEONE BY THE BRITISH

In 1717, the Spanish king gave the Asiento slave import license to British traders in London, Liverpool, and Manchester, and in 1787, the Portuguese-occupied slave center of Sierra Leone in West Africa was taken over by the British. 


The St. George's Bay Company, London, tried to hunt slaves in the region with dark-skinned British soldiers and slaves born in the USA and the Caribbean rather than Iancados. However, the resistance put up by the natives and the diseases brought in but not controlled by the British troops soon wiped out this group of slave hunters.


In 1792, another 1,200 slaves were transported from the USA and Canada to Sierra Leone. They were supposed to settle in Freetown, the capital, in freedom. However, unlike the Europeans, they were forbidden to own land. In 1799, when they rebelled against the dictum, they were forced to submit to British maroons from Jamaica.


With the British Slave Trade Act of 1807 and the American equivalent of 1808, the British and US governments announced that they would be abolishing the slave trade, and the transport of slaves would be classed as piracy; transporting and trading slaves would therefore be punishable by death.


However, slavery remained legal in both countries. The countries participating in the Congress of Vienna in 1815 joined in the declarations made by both nations, yet the USA and Britain were still active as slave transporters.


On February 19, 1810, Britain and Portugal concluded an alliance in which both countries agreed not to interfere with each other's activities in abducting persons from defined areas of Africa and transporting them across the Atlantic.


While around 30,000 people were transported from Africa to America every year between 1500 and 1807, a total of nine million, 50,000 were sold in America every year until 1870, a total of three million. 


In 1815, Britain established the West Coast of Africa Station, with 25 warships, 2,000 officers and crew, and 1,000 Kroomen, ostensibly to suppress the slave trade. However, they controlled neither French, US, Portuguese, Brazilian, nor Spanish ships; the 150,000 Africans they took from 1,600 ships must have been victims abducted by the British themselves.


It also became obvious that the British had sufficient control of the biological weapons used to abduct the slaves. On average, the plague-infested swamps caused five and a half times as many premature deaths among the crew as other deployments of British warships.


This inability to handle biological weapons was also noted when transporting slaves on board private traders. It was the European sailors who suffered the highest death tolls on board the slave ships; during the 18th century, the mortality rate on French transporters averaged 15%, and on British ships, it was often 25%.


The time spent at anchor off the African coast was particularly dangerous; around 1770, several slave ships from Liverpool lost about 45% of their crews in this way. 


In Sierra Leone, slavery was legal until 1928. In 1924, 219,275 abducted people were held as slaves. 120,000 people were murdered in the country between 1991 and 2000, and in South Sudan, two million were murdered between 1990 and 2010.

Then out of nowhere, in the year, 2014, Ebola, a hemorrhagic fever virus which had already appeared in Marburg and Frankfurt, in Belgrade, Serbia, in 1967, then first in Congo in 1976, appeared in West Africa to strike Sierra Leone, Guinea and Liberia.

 

An Article About My Life In Freetown, Sierra 

Leone


After visiting the Ivory Coast, Gambia, and Guinea, I made several trips to Nigeria, through the Republic of Togo and Benin.

 

I flew from Lagos to Freetown, Sierra Leone, in 1985. From the Lungi International Airport, I joined the ferry and landed in the capital, Freetown, in total darkness (no electricity), without any idea that Sierra Leone would be my second home to live and work for a living. 

 

The Republic of Sierra Leone is a country in West Africa, sharing its borders with Guinea to the northeast, Liberia to the southeast, and the Atlantic Ocean to the southwest. 


As described by the 'Nations Encyclopedia,' Sierra Leone is composed of about 20 native ethnic groups, constituting 90% of the total population. The two largest tribes are the Mende (about 30%) and Temne (about 30%). Thirty percent of other tribes include the Bullom, Fulani, Gola, Kissi, Kono, Koranko, Krim, Kru, Limba, Loko, Malinke, Sherbro, Susu, Vai, Yalunka, and the Creoles.

The Creoles are the descendants of freed Jamaican slaves who settled in the capital, the Freetown area, in the late 18th century, and they account for the remaining 10 percent of the population, which is made up of Liberians, Europeans, Lebanese, Pakistanis, and Indians.


The British colonial masters of Sierra Leone, this partially hilly country, beautifully planned the city, Freetown, with good connecting streets. One could even walk throughout the city without joining a taxi or the “Poda-Poda,” their private-public buses. 

 

A young child of nine or ten could direct a stranger to any one of the streets, such as Lightfoot Boston, Savage, Sanders, Wilkinson Road, Campbell, Pademba Road, down to Congo Town, and King Tom. 

 

It is very easy to walk from the city to Cline Town, where the country’s largest seaport, Queen Elizabeth II Port, is, even though it is quite far from the town center. For example, going to the port from Circular Road, often pronounced in Creole as “Sakula Road,” would take you between fifteen and twenty minutes. 

 

But from the town center, going through Kissy Road could take you a little more than twenty minutes. The port is one of the busiest ports in West Africa since almost the entire business passes through it. Freetown was always bubbling with commercial activities.

 

The High Court, the General Post Office, the headquarters of Barclays Bank, and almost all the governmental institutions were located close to Siaka Stevens Street. Right in the middle of the city is the cotton tree, which is said to be over a hundred years old and serves as a roundabout. 

 

From Lumley Beach towards Wilkinson Road, Sanders Street, and Savage Street, the houses are located close to the streets. From downtown Siaka Stevens Street, towards Congo Town, at the Cotton Tree's roundabout, one would have to turn right to the Pademba prison, named after the road as Pademba Road. Adjacent to the tree was the National Museum.

 

At the age of 28, energetic and happy, I embraced Sierra Leone as my second country. Employed at the famous Red Lion Bakery in Kingtom-Freetown as a van driver. I supplied bread each morning at the bread shops at Siaka Stevens Street and Kissy Road. 

 

Both Mrs. Ashwood and her daughter, Mrs. Pamela Grant, gave me the job, and the kind Savage family that gave me accommodation helped me to integrate. Eventually, I naturalized and became one of them. I lived in Freetown for a couple of years and loved their food and music.

 

To take control of the country, rebel activities led to the worst civil war in the history of Sierra Leone. The long decade of civil war left unforgettable scars and remnants of amputees fighting for education and survival.


After the war, Sierra Leone put that bitter experience behind it without the idea that a disease called Ebola would strike the country. Out of nowhere, in the year 2014, Ebola, a hemorrhagic fever virus that had already appeared in Marburg and Frankfurt, in Belgrade, Serbia, in 1967, and then first in Congo in 1976, appeared in West Africa to strike Sierra Leone, Guinea, and Liberia.

Inhuman Political Strategies And Enslavement On Voiceless Continent Africa

 

Africans don't need lessons for survival. The bushmen in Mozambique and Botswana will teach Bear Gray how to survive in hot temperatures without food and water for several days.

Africans don't need lessons for survival. The bushmen in Mozambique and Botswana will teach Bear Grylls how to survive in hot temperatures without food and water for several days.


It is passed but remains an era that can’t be forgotten, as well as wounds that can't heal. In different historical periods, under different regimes, Libya, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Somalia, Algeria, Congo, Mozambique, and Angola are some of the African countries that flowed with a long trail of blood.

 

In an inconvenient truth, which can’t be erased, European colonialists—Belgium, Spain, Holland, and Portugal, as well as Great Britain and Germany, currently fighting against the coronavirus to protect their citizens—once were terrorists that pillaged countries, subjected Africans to subhuman conditions, and plundered the continent’s natural wealth.

 

This ruthless colonialism force, with an iron fist, erased, buried in oblivion, and massacred civilians and set the cities and villages on fire. Without sympathy, they displaced the populations and promoted ethnic cleansing, sending thousands, including women and children, into their untimely graves.

 

If the African continent had a voice, with effective and competent leaders, or if foreign governments really cared about Africa, they would have carried out research and documented all the crimes and atrocities, including the opening of pregnant women’s bellies, impaled fetuses, the rape and torture of indigenous young people, and the carrying around of victims' heads as trophies.

 

King Leopold II killed over ten million Africans and was later glorified with statues and streets named after him throughout Belgium. The Belgian government and the royal family think he deserves it because his looting and crimes have made Belgium rich today.

 

These inhuman acts against humanity have all passed unnoticed and unpunished because those who made the law are the breakers of the law themselves, and at the same time, why should any foreign country get punished if crimes are committed against Black people?

 

That’s the nature of a world where elites never go to jail for the crimes they commit against the underprivileged and poor people. That's the nature of a world without the truth and a world where you'll lose all your friends because of the truth. That's the nature of a world where you will be oppressed and cast out from society because of the truth.

 

The colonial masters and the US government destroyed everything in Africa, without achieving anything significant for the continent. Even after giving Africa financial assistance, they devised plans to take resources that are worth more than the financial assistance they give, since they control the world trade and tell Africans what they want to pay.


Medical tragedies


The medical world is dangerous and corrupt. Politicians and health professionals collaborate to commit medical crimes against others because their goal is to generate profit and conquer, subdue, and control the weak and the vulnerable, who appear mostly to be people in Third World countries.


But do we have to call victims of suppression weak?" Not at all; they are strong people. Because they are strong, the so-called 'superpower' fears their presence and does everything physically and medically to subdue them.


There are reasons it has been the task of America and Western Europe to subdue Africa and keep it under their control. To have power over Africa's rich mineral resources, a suitable way to achieve this goal is to use slavery, apartheid, colonization, and medical crimes.


This fact is confirmed after the independence of the Congo. The desperate and disappointed Belgian government and the greedy royal family, not knowing how the future of Belgium could be, collaborated with the CIA, and the newly elected Prime Minister of Congo, Patrice Lumumba, was murdered in cold blood.


HIV, the virus causing AIDS, is said to be transmitted in semen and blood and originated in Africa. If this claim is true, why had HIV not depopulated Africa at an earlier stage? Why had it not spread earlier to the colonizer countries of Great Britain, France, Belgium, and Portugal? 


All biological weapons and the deliberate spread of diseases in Africa are acts of revenge against Africa because Western Europe lost Africa after independence swept through the continent. Zimbabwe was the last country to gain its independence in 1980, and after it was discovered that thousands of the population had HIV/AIDS.


It's a shame for a particular continent to suffer at the hands of people who have no regrets, conscience, or integrity, and actually feel proud of the crimes they have committed on the continent of Africa. 


How do Africans live, and how do they survive every kind of tragedy? That should be the ultimate question for Europe and America to give Africans the respect they deserve. 


What Africans have experienced and survived has made them the toughest creatures on earth. National Geographic shows documentary films showing how to survive without water or when lost in the desert. 


Africans don't need lessons for survival. The bushmen in Mozambique and Botswana will teach Bear Grylls how to survive in hot temperatures without food and water for several days. 


The Bushmen of the Kalahari Desert, who could survive hard life in rough environments, are the pride of Africa when it comes to real survival, not the fake ones shown on national television.


Hurting Africa, one must say that they tried to create an impression that everything is normal because everyone was doing it, but that's not true. Apart from America, the European countries that committed both physical and medical crimes in Africa are Britain, France, Germany, the Netherlands, and Belgium; it is not the whole of Europe.

The expert scientists maintain that enslavement was a common inner-African practice. But enslavement was enhanced by European guns t,o kill and the use of bioweapons from Europe to weaken and change the minds of victims.

 

The widely claimed inner-African slave trade is a racist myth. Accurate data are claimed to be hardly obtainable. There are none. 


Ninety percent of the captives perished on transports in Africa. Dr. Livingston guessed that at least nine out of ten people died before being taken from the coast of Africa as slaves. 

 

This is supposed to have been the result of tribal feuds and headship practices customary in Africa. Africans, allegedly, sold Africans or other Africans who had enslaved themselves. 

 

Certainly, neither indigenous rulers nor traders were able to or had the power to hold such murders and abductions at that brutal rate. If this had been the case, Africa would have been depopulated before the European-North American attacks.

 

Supposedly, the 30 million survivors let themselves be voluntarily sold by their African rulers into slavery. Slave traders and slavery allegedly had been a gang and gift in Africa. 

 

A supply of enslaved persons would be transported from the interior of Africa to the coast of Africa through African slave traders. And this surplus offer had allegedly sought to be taken over through European handlers. But every sixth slave ship was destroyed by people living on the coast. 

 

For the men hunting from East Africa, in children's books and scientific articles, the Black evildoers were replaced by Arabs or Arab-Muslim slave hunters.

 

Allegedly, they had taken, since 652 AD, 17 million slaves for slavery in Islamic countries. The men from non-Muslim specialists in Abyssinia and Upper Egypt were allegedly castrated. 

 

Children of enslaved African women and Arabian slaveholders would have been killed. That should be the reason that rather few dark-skinned people are living in the former Arab slave states.

 

The chief editor of "Charlie Hebdo," Stephane Charbonnier, accused the Muslim Arabs of being the creators of slavery. He denied “that the Jews had started the slave trade; everyone knows that it was the Muslim Arabs.” The Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung paid tribute to this assertion.
