Saudi Arabia, Part 10 of 15: Blacks in Saudia and the African Market Place in Mecca

COVID-19 rules are closing up on me, it is getting harder to film day by day. After some cancellations, I decided to take my camera to Shari al Mansur market where Afro Saudis and African immigrants trade side by side with many other ethnicities.

Feel free to translate any part of the video, but make sure to use the time stamp so we know what you are translating. Thank you!

[@haniadam8840]

12:45 the man was asking "do you film everyone?" (he asked 4 times) Maybe he wanted to inform you that some people don't feel ok to be recorded, but he realised that you don't speak hausa, but you could try and start speaking Arabic with them because most Hausa people speak Arabic. بارك الله فيك

[@visualpoet1]

@@haniadam8840 Whoever spoke with me in Hausa didn't speak Arabic that well, because they knew I didn't speak Hausa. Thanks for the translation.

Hi

[@koriewilliams7076]

thank you for sharing. In America we never knew that there were black Saudi Arabians. This is so informative.

I am so happy to see my Nigerian brothers and sisters living peacefully and happily in Saudi Arabia. My native language is Hausa

[@tesmith47]

Don't be fooled, they side with the west

[@NtheNow]

God Bless Brother. I love what you do. We Black Americans need to see our other Black Brothers and Sisters around the world loving and respecting one another. Thanks once again!

[@OWNERBUSINESS]

Masha’Allah I loved seeing this! My husband and I went to Mecca & Medina twice (Hajj and Ummrah) Alhumdulillah! Even though I didn’t go to those parts in this video it’s still nostalgic to me. Just watching I can feel and smell the air of Mecca, I miss it. I loved seeing all brothers and sisters from around the world. The one brother in the video said we’re all brothers, there’s no this or that, that’s true Islam. Thank you for all your great videos! You’re so welcoming and blend seamlessly with the people. Keep up the good work!

[@iameman8346]

I'm Saudi and i have never thought of the term "Afro Saudi". If you are Saudi you are saudi. giving no regards of one's skin color or background. I think it is a blessing.

[@alphafish4756]

It does not change the fact they’re saudi, it’s just an identification. There are many afro communities around the globe and they’re referred as such.

[@Mubarak_47]

@Abraham isaac Jacob Yisrael The truth of the matter is Islamic empire had enslaved anybody who wasn't a Muslim.. period!!! Prisoners of war were slaves back then and that wasn't specific to black people.

[@visualpoet1]

@Abraham isaac Jacob Yisrael My friend my Channel isn't about slave and slave trade. You might want to check on BBC or CNN. Thanks for watching my videos :)

For the people fighting in comments. Slaves were not only black or African in Arabia before, Some even came from beyond turks land. A whole kingdom (Mamalik: slaves) were former slaves that helped and fought protecting Islamic lands. War between Arab tribes also resulted in slaves capturing. so slavery in Arabia is different; even whiter dude in Arabia today may had in the past a great grandfather who was a slave. So never judge a person because of his color; some black families in Arabia came from a very well known and wealthy African tribes for Hajj/trade and never left, so calling them slaves is not valid and disrespect to of them. (note: most black families in Arabia still have their family/tribe/country names)

::Why are they Blacks in Saudia ? What kind of ignorant question is that? Why are they Saudis in Canada? That's because Allah"s earth is spacious ,and He said that he created nations and tribes to know one another, and not to despise each other, that's why Malik Alsaad! Not as complicated as you may want it to be! The Prophet Muhammad (SAW) was breastfed by a black woman, way before you were born. What country was that in? Troller Ldka, we are Black people, because melanin is the colour black. Every colour is derived from that essential protein, that we cannot survive without, nothing to be ashamed of. Being Black is not an affliction, like the Shaytan and his forces try to propagate and perpetuate!
