The Slave Trade in Egypt Exposed by Dispatches
Reports from Druro via the American Consul General reveal ongoing slave trafficking in Egypt despite laws and treaties. Slaves are moved via Arab caravans to Asaiut, hidden in grottoes, and distributed nationwide. A Swiss mission aid led to the manumition of 68 slaves and arrests of 85 traders. Three hundred British troops aided a seizure around Assiut, though over 1,000 slaves had been brought in, with only 68 recovered. Some freed individuals were captured or sold back into slavery in their homelands.
