sawa kabisa Wabantu kwao ni Afrika sio Bara Arabu
Waarabu asili yao Bara arabu waarabu ni wafanyabiashara km hapo mwanzo nilivyoelezea, (Historia STD IV) walikuja kwa kutumia pepo za Moonson walipoona vimenoga wakahamisha makao kutoka Oman kuja Afrika (wakidai Kisiwa hicho kilikuwepo kwao kimesogezwa na upepo) wakionesha kilikuwa karibu sana na Madagasca wakati hakijakaribiana na Afrika

Traders from Arabia (mostly Yemen), the Persian Gulf region of Iran (especially Shiraz), and west India probably visited Zanzibar as early as the 1st century AD. They used the monsoon winds to sail across the Indian Ocean and landed at the sheltered harbor located on the site of present-day Zanzibar Town. Although the islands had few resources of interest to the traders, they offered a good location from which to make contact and trade with the towns of the Swahili Coast.
nimesema waOman walisogea ili kufanya biashara kwa karibu zaidi wakati huo kuliko huko nyuma
Every year, about 40, 000-50, 000 slaves were taken to Zanzibar.
[20] About a third went to work on clove and coconut plantations of Zanzibar and Pemba while the rest were exported to Persia, Arabia, the Ottoman Empire and Egypt.
[21] Conditions on the plantations were so harsh that
about 30% of the male slaves died every year, thus necessitating the
need to import another batch of slaves.[22] The Omani Arabs who ruled Zanzibar had in the words of the American diplomat Donald Petterson a
"culture of violence" where brute force was the preferred solution to problems and outlandish cruelty was a virtue.
[23] The ruling al-Busaid family was characterized by fratricidal quarrels as it was common for brother to murder brother, and this was typical of the Arab aristocracy, where it was acceptable for family members to murder one another to gain land, wealth, titles and slaves.
[24] Visitors to Zanzibar often mentioned the "shocking brutality" which the Arab masters treated their African slaves, who were so cowed into submission that there was never a slave revolt attempted on Zanzibar.
[25] The cruelty which the Arab masters treated their black slaves left behind a legacy of hate, which exploded in the revolution of 1964.
