Just Cool is correct. Africans are not new to the gulf states and the peninsula. Blacks have always been in that area for ages. They have feature in all aspects of life. Yes slaves and concubines. But also soldiers in the armies. And there are exceptions, the occasional prince, general, admiral, etc. But they are in the same boat like any black person in any other part of the world.
Deeks, this term africa only deals with saharan and sub-saharan ppl, but it have many faces of negroid ppl who are not africans @ all.
for example, the dravidians, the black head ppl, the alkadians, medianites, and the list goes on. my breddren went to iraq and stayed in ah region where the ppl looked just like him(and the boy real black wid sharp features like JLLoyd), he was astonished to learn that they were the indigenous ppl of ancient mesopotamia.
all over the middle east, these ancient black indigenous ppl are hidden in the back ground like rubbish in ah pile, most of them live in the mountainous areas and in most cases isolated from the rest of society.
if yuh black and reside anywhere in the middle east, then ah dog better than yuh, with the exception of saudi arabia, and that is, if yuh rich and yuh have status or yuhs of pure saudi blood.
right in ketch a$$ palestine it have scores of indigenous black ppl, who was there from the inception, but when yuh see or hear bout palestine, these ppl are never shown.
perfect example , the falashas, they knew more of the ancient text than the so called jew from europe or the middle east(ashkanazi- misrakki/ saphardic) but they the falashas were and is still being handled like 4th class citizens.
since the repatriation move from abyssinia, nuff of them has since returned claiming that they were abused by their lighter skinned jewish breddren.
deeks it's also true that saharan and sub saharan blacks have been migrating to the middle east for ages especially during the saharan slave trade and soldiery, but to say that's the main reason for the black presence in the middle east iz just not accurate. there are also some facts listed in the historical records that the children of israel were of the negroid race.
