Afro-Saudis are Saudi citizens of partial or full black African heritage. Afro-Saudis are the largest Afro-Arab group.[1] They are spread all around the country, but they are mostly found in the major cities of Saudi Arabia.[2] Afro-Saudis speak Arabic and adhere to Islam.[3] Their origins date back centuries ago to the Arab slave trade.[4]
History
Arabia and Africa have been in contact starting with the obsidian exchange networks of the 7th millennium BC. These networks were strengthened by the rise of Egyptian dynasties of the 4th millennium BC. Anthropologists have indicated the likely existence of settlements in Arabia, from the people of the Horn of Africa, as early as the 3rd and 2nd millenniums BC.[5]
Population
In 2021, their population was 1,880,000, or around 5% of Saudi Arabia’s 35,950,000 population.[4] [6] [7]
Social condition
Unlike in the Americas of the 19th century, slaves in the Middle East were allowed to own land, and their children were generally not born into slavery. Also, conversion to Islam precluded further servitude and gave freedom. Skin color played a distinctive role even amongst slaves.[8] Many activists amongst Afro-Saudis complain that they are not given media representation and are unable to find opportunities to improve their social condition.[9]
