Question by Tyson&Chino: What parts of Africa did the various slave traders collect slaves from?
I have heard that there were certain parts of Africa that remained untouched by the slave trade. I know that in many cases it was Africans themselves who sold other Africans to the white slave traders.
I believe that there were no slaves taken from Kenya.

Best answer:

Answer by denissnowy
There were areas relatively untouched. Ethiopia I would guess.
Kenya did suffer – arab traders ranged from the coast into the Congo.

South Africa and Zimbabwe also were largely untouched. The main areas were west africa and later east africa but as it got harder to catch people traders went further inland. There are probably areas in the Sahel that escaped as well.

Their instruments are discarded gas cans, animals hides and whatever else they can scavenge to produce a tune. But they do make music. Listen to the music of children orphaned by AIDS and visit ministryofhope.org.

Q&A: What is a good news channel to get unbiased news from?

Sunday, October 2nd, 2011

Question by Anthony: What is a good news channel to get unbiased news from?
I am sick of news stations that give biased, one sided news. What is the best news station to get both sides of the issues?
I meant one sided opinions, not news. Sorry about that.

Best answer:

Answer by michael w
A week or so ago I would have said that the BBC was the most unbiased news channel that is until they refused to air a program supporting aid to Gaza which in my book means that it supports Israel. Having watched Alzezzera for a while they at least have the courage to show both sides of the coin
