I am always surprised at how little mention is made of the Eastern African slave trade - with its own trade triangle from Zanzibar to the Gulf to the Indian sub-continent. Now that slave triangle was in business far longer and virtually emptied the entire Eastern coast of Africa - slavers had to travel further and further inland in pursuit of Africans to take to the Gulf states. This trade went on far longer than the West African trade and actually transported more slaves! In fact it is still going on there!
