1) According to Cheik Anta Diop, “no Arab army ever crossed the Sahara in an attempt to conquer Africa, except for the Moroccan war of the sixteenth century. During the period of our study, from the third to the seventeenth centuries, not one conquest was ever launched by way of the Nile: That of the Sudan (modern country), accompanied with the help of England, came only in the nineteenth century. Nor was there ever an Arab conquest of? Mozambique or any other East African country.”
See Cheik Anta Diop, Pre-colonial Black Africa, page 101
2) “The Arab conquests (in black Africa) dear to sociologists are necessary to their theories but did not exist in reality. To this day no reliable historical documents substantiate such theories.”
See Cheik Anta Diop, Pre-colonial Black Africa, page 102
3) “However, in 1544, Sultan Muhammad al-Mahdi, the founder of Sa’did power in Morocco, demanded the ruler of Songhay, askia Ishaq I, to give him the mines. Askia Ishaq naturally refused to do it, and a war broke out. The Moroccans sent an army to occupy Taghaza, but the army was destroyed in the desert. As response to this, a Songhay army consisting of Tuaregs, attacked northwards and sacked the southern parts of Morocco, forcing Sultan Muhammad to flee from Marrakesh. Similarly, the rulers of Bornu, lying around Lake Chad, were able to expand their political dominance deep into Fezzan, occupying the oases until the 16th century.”

Good discussion people. The information wars are as old as history. Who knows the ins and outs of everything. Blacks and Muslim should unite and work together to get the west to pay properly for their resources. Climate change a lie to deny the rest of the world the right to use what they want. When the west used coal as much as anyone using children as slaves no one stopped them and they knew what they were doing all along. Africa will rise to former glory by 2100
I WILL SAY THE OBVIOUS SO GUIDE MY TONGUE DEAR LORD, AFRICA IS EVIDENTLY A BLACK CONTINENT. FOR BLACK PEOPLE.
VERILLY OF ALL THE TRUTHS I HAVE ENCOUNTERED THE STORY OF THE ISRAEL 12 TRIBES IS THE TRUEST. WE ALL EXIST IN OUR RACE (call it Tribe)
FOR AFRICA ITS THE BLACK TRIBE, THE NIGERIAN DESCENDENT ( I DONNO RECOGNIZE THIS BULLSHIT ABOUT ETHIOPIANS, ETHIOPIANS ARE PRETRIFIED OF BLACK HOW THEN CAN THEY CLAIM TO BE THEIR PROGENITORS)
AFRICA WILL RETURN TO THE DAYS WHEN SHE WAS GOVERNED BY THE BLACKS. THE UNWELCOMED AND INSUFFERABLE GUESTS WILL BE EXPELLED.
EVERYONE OF THEIR GRAVES EXCAVATED AND THE REMAINING BONES THROWN INTO THE OCEAN THERE THEY WILL FIND THEIR FINAL PLACE OF LAY AND PEACE. THIS I SWEAR MY ALL THE STRENGTH INVESTED IN MY BREATH……
{VERILLY the Arabian has been the most atrocious guest imaginable! And all of this account has taken place under the watchful eye of our so called Allah-Tabarak or Mighty God! Yet little he did to intervene or corect for over 1400 years spanning)
( If it wasn’t for the strength of a man from the north, (the European) to come into Africa and lay down new borders and governments and disempower the canniving Lies of the Arabians. WE WOULD STILL BE SLAVES or as the ARABS delicately put it a subordinent subservient race!}
I hope u have enjoyed ur stay in AFRICA ARABS whom technically I SHULD call (Berber) The half cast child of a Syrian race with original black Sahara folks. Hear My Warning. The time has come to evacuate you from our premises, like a due baby is evacuated from a woumb! With all the Strength Available.)
Verilly we have found you treacherous and unfaithful to your words, and the greatest of lyers more so than the Jews u despise or maybe ur of the same root.
This is pure nonsense Christianity is an African concept created by the Coptic and Ethiopian people of North Africa! That was perverted by Europeans who used it as a means of exploitation.African Christianity had reached China and Japan long before the European pervertion. See The Lost History of Christianity by Philipp Jenkins!
Islam can never be separated from black Africans.Arabic language is black African language,prophet Mohammad was a black man and so was his Kurish tribe an ethnic African tribe.The original Arabs were blacks.No European or Albino (so called whites) can ever erased these historical facts.The Arabs never invaded Africa or enslaved them .The black Arabs did invaded Europe though and enslaved them it is an open secrets,the history books are there for you to confirm the truth.
Aminu hope you tell them in Saudi and Iran that Prophet Mohammed was black: you may have to explain when you saw him or who told you.
Greed is the spirit that has infected people all over the world. Why preach, go conquer North Africa and take back what you have lost. If we know we are from the land of the blacks, (Kemet). Why do we still discuss dumb knowledge trying to be smarter than the next. Do something about it! It’s nice to hear your voices over this medium, but it would be great if we had the means to take back what we have lost as a people. Just admit it we have been stripped! We are still slaves to greed, we sale out, kill, and commit the same crimes as whites. We are fully assimilated into whitedom. We have no weapons of mass destruction, our voices have been silenced, and all we can do is argue. We need courage to die for what we really believe in!
I guess the writer of this article must have either forgotten or omitted this part right at the bottom of p.101, the book, said by Cheikh Anta Diop, in “Precolonial Black Africa”, where he says, “Much has been made of the Arab invasion of Africa: they occurred in the North…”. In addition, as others have so eloquently informed those who deny this fact, they must read “The Destruction of Black Civilization: Great Issues of a Race from 4500 B.C.–2000 A.D.” by Dr. Chancellor Williams
I must say you hav Intelligent & proud to be African Following!!!!
They really know their stuff!!!! We will never forget!!!
