This was 1 of the most interesting historical narration.The young man did a superb job 🤩,of explaining the history of Ft.Jesus.The content was excellent.I hope more people get see & listen to the rich East African(Kenyan) past history.
Good content my Kenyan sister. Glad that Kenya is revealing the secret they are hiding from the world. First time I'm actually seeing this place .
Wow! I never knew this existed!! Why so many Kenyans defend Islam and Christianity is beyond me. I can't even get pass a few seconds of this video without feeling hurt. This is why history is so important. Thank you sis for enlightning me.
Thanks for this share African Tigress. Much has been written and talked about in regards to the Trans Atlantic enslavement trade but very few people are willing to speak on what transpired on the opposite side of the content with our people during the Arabs version of the enslavement trade. Most people are unaware that it was the Arabs not the White's that first enslaved our people. Thank you for shedding light on this most overlooked aspect of our people's history.💜👍👍
Lance Beamon bc all other slave trade pales in comparison to the “Transatlantic slave trade”..Historically,it was the most torturous,traumatic,inhuman atrocities known to human mankind.It was a vast enslavement that took place during a duration of 4-5 centuries..
Lance Beamon..ur right..Arabs are the one who started to sell our people..
Waoooooo......very interesting! Thank you African TIGRESS👑 and Narrator👑......OneLove from Jackson, Mississippi USA ❤🖤💚
This documentary is beyond wonderful! Thanks ever so much for recording and uploading it. Your tour guide is extraordinarily researched. It has been 36 years since I was last at Fort Jesus - I had almost forgotten the magnificent views of that splendid ocean. You have a new subscriber in me! Well done and thank you ❣️
Great video. I never heard of fort Jesus, so I learned something new. It seems as if Oman still has some type of relationship with that area and the fort. The tour talked more of the Arab, the Portuguese and slightly mentioned the slaves. I found that odd.
Look up the Shimoni Caves. There is much to find on the slaves and the haunted area in general, including the haunted hotel there.
@@Brother_frojd If memory serves me correctly, I believe it was known in the late 80’s as The Shimoni Hotel? The large, white one..? I was there was 35+years ago.
Tales of screaming slaves and sights of slaves chained together, walking through guest rooms etc etc.
This guy should be history teacher
I went rhere in july 2019 and i got a guided tour. It was very sadening and also intresting.
I also went from there with my guide to buy some spices in the martket
Brings back the old memories.. Back in 2013 when i visited in high school.. I think i should do a revisit again... Thanks for the amazing video!
Best tour of Fort Jesus. Great job by that young man.
I have learned so much from you. I never knew this story,thank you, thank you.
ONCE AGAIN TIGRESS, THANKS VERY MUCH ,I LEARNED A LOT TODAY THAT I DID NOT KNOW.
I visited the place in Dec 2017..honestly speaking i was really touched by all that i saw,,, i found myself shading 😢 remembering what our for fathers went through in hands of those crazy invaders. Nice content though (huyo guide ako poa)
REPARATIONS FOR ALL AFRICANS!! No other race of people been though as much as us.
Are you wanting reparations off the black Africans , who sold slaves to foreign traders.Never forget every slave was sold by a fellow African out to make a shilling.
@@johnnicol64 Not every tribe was involved in the slave trade. Should the tribes involved pay reparations? Hell Yeah! The whole continent was not involved in the slave trade, so get that bullshit Hebrew Israelite propaganda out of your head. The Bible is fiction.
Simply Incredible!
Greetings from Jerusalem!
Afican Tigress this is very good video. Very in formative and and enlightening and I really appreciate where you are going with this.
This video brought out feelings deep inside of me with many emotions. You are doing a great thing.
Very important documentary, Tigress. You covered the East African Slave trade almost 2 years before your visit to Goree Island this month.
It has been very difficult to watch this. Not even because of the slavery bit but the detachment the guide has to his own history.
Thank you for bringing to the fore Arab and Portuguese atrocities on Eastern Africa. Typical Western tendencies to name a fort after Jesus to cover heinous acts of slavery. The guides I cant blame them much are stuck on a script and dont even use their own knowledge to give insight. Which can be quite testing.
Perfect name. Jesus it's the ultimate enslaver. The greatest weapon in the hands of the oppressor it's the mind of the oppress (Jesus christianity)
Its only in the emmanual church kengeleni where you will get the real facts of slavery at the east african coast.
The guy is so good in explanation big up. Mr
Why you don’t say who was the Arab leader?,his name is Said bin Sultan who invaded it second time between year 1696-98,and that was the end of Portuguese presence in Kenyan coast.
Enjoying the story
HIGH TIGRESS: SO TIGRESS, IT APPEARS TO ME THEN, ALL OF AFRICA WAS INVOLVED IN THE SLAVE TRADE FROM EAST TO WEST AND THE NORTH AS WELL.BUT KEY ASPECT OF THE SLAVE TRADE WAS THE PORTUGUESE. THEY WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE TRADE AND ALSO THE SPANIARDS. AND THEN THE FRENCH AND BRITISH, AND OTHER EUROPEANS LATER ON.
Well presented tigress.
AFRICAN TIGRESS : HEAR ARE A FEW HISTORICAL FACTS. 15 Facts On The MOORS In Spain- BLACK History Studies.
Best tour guide of all times
I am loving and informative content
Very important history ,thank you🫂👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👍🏿
Suport from Uganda
Are the winds crows n even wen u in Mombasa island, that side being blocked for world to know?
Kunani au It's "Clear!" ?
Rich African history my dear.
Very Educative. Reminds me, I visited there when i was in class five. Too Bad that the Govt is not maintaining the place. We should learn from What the Ghanians have done .
I think it's inappropriate to put our president's portrait next to an Omanian leader's one. There should be a review of this historical injustices against our people.
Exactly. Its one thing to hang the portraits of the Omani leaders who were in power at the time, but I don't know how they justify hanging the one of the current leader?!
But then again we as Kenyans bury our heads in the sand and don't talk about the slave trade.
Sad that they barely speak about the slaves...it's a shame.
That tour guide was the bomb diggity
I AM GIVING YOU A NEW NAME TIGRESS. YOU ARE THE AFRICAN TIGRESS, THE EXPLORER !!
Huyu jamaa si ameiva history mbaya sana
Wow
Didn't know Jomo kenyatta was imprisoned there
X Tigress very good content, I ve heard the Arab sultan had a harem where he gad many wives and children was this harem in mombasa.
SO TIGRESS : PORTUGAL WAS CONQUERED AND OCCUPIED FOR OVER 500 YEARS BY TARIQ IBN- ZIYAD AND HIS AFRICAN ARMY FROM MOROCCO. SO THAT MAKES REVENGE VERY PLAUSIBLE BY PORTUGAL SPAIN, AND THE CATALAN PEOPLE OF SOUTHERN EUROPE. SO I AM CONVINCE THAT AT FIRST SLAVERY WAS A ACT OF REVENGE. THEN IT BECAME A ACT FOR PROFIT. THAT IS WHAT YOU CALLED SWEET REVENGED.
Soo it's more easy for people like us working in oman to meet our brothers in oman
I really want to know before christianity and islam what was our religion or belief ? As africans i mean
😘😘😘😘😘
Kenya should be managed, handled, ruled, lead, controlled, dictated, monarched, bossed, supervised, and advised only by Native Africans be it Cushites, Nilotics, Or And Bantus yeah the Arabs, Europeans, And Asians should not have too much say so or and command yeah
Please African tigress this is a good videos because our brothers and sisters in America don't believe that they came from Africa.
SPREAD MESSAGES TO WORLD
Interesting but the guide should the slaves and where they were traded to
The majority ended up in Arab lands but some ended up in the Americas via the Portuguese. Also some are sold to the Europeans by the Arabs and these too also ended up in the Americas. The Portuguese were active on the coast from Ethiopia all the way down to south Africa. Their forts are dotted along the east African coast.
We Kenyans knows the history of our nation,the bad thing is that this guys hide our history, in fact they took alot of our people to Europe, Australia, New Zealand, other India nad others American. If you real want to know your gen while you are in abroad just look at the characters of Africans East Africans are so humble soft spoken people,but try touch them.There though no nosense people but there warm hrted guys.Tall slim and soft skin so beautiful women, mostly this are the slaves that were used to be sold as prostitute, because of there beauty.
Interesting but too long.
So who was selling them? and they were taken to the middle east right? and yes it was worse than the European/transatlantic slave trade!!!! more videos of this please
Africans colonised their neighbours, then sold them to Arabs .FOR a profit.Nearly all slaves were sold by more powerfull African nations .I mean it was not the Chinese who were rounding them up..Surprised, Africa sold Africans to anyone who wanted one..
TIGRESS : I WOULD LIKE YOU TO DIG DEEPER INTO THE SLAVE ISSUE, TIGRESS, THERE ARE TANGIBLE REASONS BEHIND THE AFRICAN SLAVE TRADE, YOU WILL BE SHOCKED TO DISCOVER THE TRUTH ABOUT THE REAL REASONS WHY PORTUGUESE AND THE SPANIARDS ENSLAVED THE AFRICAN PEOPLE ACROSS THE CONTINENT OF AFRICA.
Because the Africans they enslaved are the real Hebrew Israelites. There was a very calculated targeting of bantu peoples for slavery, from the west coast to the east, central to southern Africa.
The west african bantus/hebrews that were sent to the Americas were evicted out of Spain and Portugal via the inquisitions.
How ironic...
I would like to know why the fort is called jesus; also why the Kenyan people kept the name...it's confusing.
The tour is narrate like a praise of Portuguese n Arab accomplishments. No indept details about the enslaved Africans. Even a picture of present Oman Sultan with President Kenyatta looking like his slave. It just mentally justifies Africans subservient positions in the world.
I agree. We as a country are psychologically sick and too detached from history for our own good. We bury our heads in the sand and refuse to talk indepth about the Arabic slave trade and colonialism. We treat these invaders like we owe them something and totally image-launder their terrible legacy.
If we were serious about dealing with these historical injustices, we'd have museums dedicated to these acts of horror and our little children would know about the horrors. Instead, our curriculum just teaches us that we 'traded' with Arabs and that Arabic and other languages became incorporated into KiSwahili.
@@kim1570 prior the the arabs there was a thriving civilization,i think even we traded with the greeks if you dig history deep
SO TIGRESS : IT MEANS THEN, YOUR ANCESTORS SOLD MY ANCESTORS INTO SLAVERY TIGRESS .YOU OWED ME REPARATIONS TIGRESS. LOL
Fort Jesus huh? I don't recall Yeshua enslaving anyone.🤷🏾♂️
@Cheetah 6 We don't know what God said to other people for sure or if anything was said at all. We must be real with ourselves.
@Cheetah 6 It is God's word to those who believe it. A book of books with a finite number of pages, that was compiled by imperfect human opportunists with some books included and others thrown out, translated multiple times and open to interpretation can hardly be God's word to me. I would be foolish to just believe it. While I believe much of the scripture is valid, much of it has been tainted and transformed throughout time. A truly spiritual life does not ask one to blindly believe in a book, but to live in such a way(typically with practices) that will allow one to experience his/her spiritual nature. Then and only then one will know God's words through direct experience with God's Laws.
Slave trade in Fort Jesus? Are you sure? Kweli nanii?
TIGRESS: PLEASE GO BACK AND REMOVE THAT PICTURE OF THE SULTAN OF OMAN OFF THE WALL THAT IS NEXT TO THE KENYAN PRESIDENT. PLEASE.!
He keeps repeating"20 metres above dea level" waay too many times🤦
Fort Jesus...using Jesus' name like that makes me want to curse someone out lol...Hell is for the person who named this fort.
@@chriszugu8422 I worship black Jesus. That's all I will say about that. I do not debate my religion.
@@DrLoren668 blk o or white jesus he came to Africa at the tip Europeans Arab sword
Theres is no slave trade,known to man,all pales in comparison to the traumatic,torturous,inhuman atrocities that took place during the transatlantic slave trade.To even try to compare the transatlantic slave trade to any other slave trade is down right disrespectful to their descendants and spirit of my ancestors.
As a Kenyan, I have to say that despite the harmony I want to see between continental and diasporic Africans, comments such as yours are one of the things that I detest about you African Americans. Let's not start playing the oppression olympics. ALL slavery was terrible!
Also, you can't objectively make your statement because very few people, not even we East Africans, know much of the details about the East African slave trade, so how does one start comparing the two? The little we do know is that it was horrible for the enslaved E.Africans.. they were castrated , subjected to terrible working conditions and had short lives, plus the E.A slave trade lasted about twice as long as the Trans Atlantic one.
We should all be working together to uncover the truth, but comments like yours are retrogressive.
This East African slave trade was our people , they never talk about who was the slaves there don’t you notice ?, we were sent to the four corners of the earth out of Africa , their descendants were never in bondage , he even tell you how they were even in business before the British arrive so then who were they selling their on tribes ? this is mis educating people, one of the brutal slave trade to our people most didn’t survive because they cut off the male privates making it unable to reproduce it’s a common practice by the Arabs
@@kim1570 You’re a Kenyan..who knows her identity,her ethnic tribe,still speaking her mother tongue etc..You yourself have no understanding of the what PTSD from the transatlantic slave trade has passed to the descendants of slaves..Being that you’re Kenyan,I expect for you to be disrespectful passive aggressive,and patronizing..”Playing the oppression olympics??Thats exactly what you’re doing here”..This is no damn Oympics. I’m appalled that you would use the Olympics as an analogy to describe slavery,specifically the transatlantic slave trade..How the hell did you get that analogy out of my comment.
This is what I hate about You continental Africans,the patronizing,condescending attitude towards AA:ADOS is appalling..As if I should just forget what my ancestors went through as a people and the lasting affect slavery has on the mind,identity,culture,of my people until this day??I find your entire comment very distasteful,disrespectul and egregious..You talk about finding out the truth? All you have to do is Google and research the atrocities of the transatlantic slave trade,this is only truth you will get..But if you’re really going to admit to the truth from a personal perspective,you need to be real with yourself..Answer this question..If an African American travel anywhere in the world,we don’t have to say how we became Americans,the whole damn world knows we became known as Black Americans..African Africans..ADOS..Descendants of victims of the transatlantic slave trade.Why tf you think we are identified as African Americans.There’s no other nationality of people in this entire universe, who YOU claim were victims of E.A.slavery ,doesn’t know their ethnic identity.Yet we AA refer to ourselves as two f’ing continents,bc our identity was lost for CENTURIES due to the transatlantic slave trade..So don’t tell me a damn thing about East African slavery lasted longer..Thats a damn lie.Most East Africans can tell you EXACTLY where they are from,their identity,their tribe,and still speak their mother tongue..Do the research..Even until this day,physical slavery may have ended, but my people in America are now suffering from the mental slavery due to the oppression of racism.A type of racism (TODAY in the 21st Century) that would cause a black man (George Floyd,Tamir Rice,Trayvon Martin,Alton Bryant etc)or a Black woman (Sandra Bland,Breonna Taylor Alteria Woods,Hannah Williams etc) to be publicly l*y*n*c*h by police officers,,all unjustified killings..Yet you compare this type of oppression or any form of oppression of the ADOS to the Olympics??The audacity..Have lost your damn mind??I would love for yiu to tell that ignorant ish to the family of these victims,who no justice for their love ones!!Everything I have said is verifiable public info.Therefore I’m not being objective, Im being practical and realistic.it’s historical and archaeological FACTS.
@@kim1570 Next time,get the FACTS before your start speaking your disrespectful OPINIONS about another persons history..If you can’t handle the facts,then don’t attempt to address the subject..Or You can at least develop some humility and a moral compass when attempting to do so..I’m sure good Kenyans with an empathic soul would be ashamed of your representation here.I know this for a fact bc I lived in Kenya for a brief time(Buru Buru,Mombasa, Lamu, and Narok)..Kenyans are friendly people, and welcome me with open arms.I’ve never met a more disrespectful,condescending Kenyan like yourself..I regret to say, you actually have the persona of an Americanized Kenyan
Remember, a stranger can not easily walk into your house for the first time and take your children without your permission. Human slavery was a terrible business to any human kind, unfortunately Afrikans leaders allowed it to happen for ignorant and selfish gains. Afrikans collaborated with the British in buying and selling of fellow Afrikans. Arabs and Portuguese came mainly to trade in ivory not human slavery. East coast of Afrika was a major transatlantic slave route from West and central Afrika. You need to get a proper historian with a good historical knowledge of what took place in the 18th century in regards to to both human and animals slavery.
Wow
Habaragani afrikan tigress thank you for this vlog many people dont know the arab slave trade in east africa was more extensive than the atlantic trade and estimated 30million afrikans kidnapped and sold into slavery some say 50miion
