Abstract

Slavery has remained an indispensable aspect of human existence with nostalgic implications for vulnerable groups whose ancestors suffered different forms of enslavement. Trans-Saharan human trafficking manifested in the form of slave trade across the Sahara and beyond, exposing the victims to labor and sexual exploitation. The fact that Trans-Saharan trafficking in persons was a crime against Africans cannot be downplayed, considering how such an act dehumanized the people, exposing them to mockery, slavery, and abuses.
