As a Zambian I agree with President Museveni and join his prayer for forgiveness and repentance but not only for those sold into slavery but also for the families that lost loved ones in the process which involved attacking other ethnic groups to acquire slaves. The apology in the African context needs to be broadened to include the pain that we caused among ourselves and the affected groups.

[@dimbwemazala8978]

No! You do not speak on behalf of Zambia. All the slaves who came from Zambia were sent to Zanzibar by the Arabs who caught them; and sold them, thereat, to other Arabs from the Middle East. The black Americans are derived from slaves who were sold from Gambia. Why does Zambia need to apologise for the sins of Gambia? Peaceful people like the Tonga, Ila, Soli, We, who are the original Zambians, never attacked a single person in their existence, much less enslave or sell anyone into slavery. Why should they be apologising when they have their own problems, such as having historically been attacked and robbed of cattle and women by the Lozi/Sotho-Kololo from the West, the Bemba from the North, Ngoni/Chewa from the East and the Ndebele from the South? No!!!! Zambia is NOT apologising to anyone.. You can apologise alone if you want to, but Zambia is NOT apologising. Museveni DOES NOT speak for Zambia

Not only did the Arabic slave trade go on for 1000 years longer than the Trans Atlantic one, but most of the enslaved Africans who were captured do not even have descendants to speak out for them today because there was a systemic genocide via castrating the males and killing any children born to the women who were raped. The remaining descendants scattered throughout India/Pakistan and some places in Arabia have been left out of mainstream society - they are not educated and do not have the means to be online and interact with the rest of us.
