The BAJA PEOPLE OF THE NILE

According to Strabo(63BC-23AD), the Baja were a Black-skinned people who were used to raiding and pillaging on the fringes of the desert.... "

The Baja were a people around the Nile in Egypt and the Sudan, fond of daggers, swords, scimitars and camels; their hair was made curly by a hot knife" (instead of weaving the hair, like the male Luwata and Gatuleg).

They 'were as black as tar' and weren't "good to have as a

friend or foe".

These were among some of the ancient tribes that made up what was most of north Africa before the coming of the Persians, the Assyrians (during the reign of Ashur banipal), the Greeks, the Romans,

the Hyksos and the coming of the Caucasoid groups known today as the Arabs in the 3rd century CE, a situation that intensified in the 7th and 8th century CE with the spread of Islam and Arab slave trade as well as the trans-saharan trade.

The effects of concubinage, Barbary slavery, migration and earlier encroachments of Europeans into Africa, especially, contributed greatly in altering the population of the northern parts of Africa.

For example, Mulai Ismael of Merknes, brought into north Africa 25,000 European slaves who participated in the building of his colossal stables.

These groups later became the dominant groups in north Africa after the fall of the African Maghrebs in Iberia and Africans lost control of trade routes in the Mediterranean in 1492 CE, as well as the resultant effects of the Turks takeover of Constantinople and later the whole of Byzantium.

During the peak era of the Arab slave trade, the Muslims often received European women as homage from traders and caliphs in Granada, Cordova etc, which were brought into north Africa and the Arabian peninsula.

The African male of the Soudan who fall under the burden of the slave trade were castrated to avoid procreation. These groups were fewer in number than the enslaved Europeans in north Africa before the 15th century CE, but the focus on mostly Black-skinned people began in the later parts of the 15th century CE, as Europe became more organized along national lines and could shift the tides of slavery.

Her name was Czeslawa Kwoka, and her crime was being Polish, Catholic, and 14 years old. Her red triangle was for political prisoners, because of where she was born in Poland. After this photo was taken, she was killed in Auschwitz extermination camp on March 12, 1943 with a phenol injection in the heart. Just before the execution, she was photographed by prisoner Wilhelm Brasse, who would later testify against the executioner of Czeslawa, a woman. Just before the photo, the executioner punched Czeslawa in the face, as the hematoma on her lip shows. This is the face of a terrified little girl, who didn't even speak the language of her executioner. She had lost her mother a few days before. But she dried her tears to look presentable for the photo. They took her hair and her life, but they couldn’t take her dignity. She was only one of about 250,000 children and minors who were executed in Auschwitz-Birkenau. T...

THE EVIL THAT TOOK PLACE DURING THE WORLD WAR TWO ACT..

A German engineer and manager of a German construction firm in the Ukraine, and his foreman, came upon an Einsatz execution squad killing Jews from the small town of Dubno in the Ukraine. He gave the following eyewitness account: My foreman and I went directly to the pits. Nobody bothered us. Now I heard rifle shots in quick succession from behind one of the earth mounds. The people who had got off the trucks – men, women and children of all ages – had to undress upon the order of an SS man who carried a riding or dog whip. They had to put down their clothes in fixed places, sorted according to shoes, top clothing and undergarments. I saw heaps of shoes of about 800 to 1000 pairs, great piles of under-linen and clothing. Without screaming or weeping these people undressed, stood around in family groups, kissed each other, said farewells, and waited for a sign from another SS man, who stood near the pit, also with a whip in his hand. During the fifteen minutes I stood n...

🏵THE BIRTH OF KATHARINE OF ARAGON

Katharine of Aragon was born to Queen Isabella of Castile and King Ferdinand of Aragon on 16 December, 1485. Katharine was the fifth and last child of “The Catholic Kings”, the title bestowed upon Isabella and Ferdinand by the Borgia Pope, Alexander VI, for driving the Moors from Southern Spain. Isabella was thirty-four when she bore Katharine, which was considered old for childbearing in the Late Middle Ages. Katharine was born at the palace of Alcalá de Henares; the palace was situated in the town of the same name, just east of Madrid, with a stunning view of the Sierra de Guadarrama mountains. At the time of Katharine’s birth, Queen Isabella was engaged in her ten-year struggle to drive the moors from Spain; Isabella had never allowed pregnancy to stop her from performing her duties as Queen Regnant of Castile, nor from pursuing her goal of winning Granada back from the Infidel for Christendom. And so a pregnant Queen Isabella made the three hundred mile journey north to Alcalá de H...

Meet Armin Meiwes, The German Cannibal Who Placed An Online Ad To Eat Someone — And Someone Answered

"Blood is the juice of life. It contains everything a person needs for nutrition." In 2001, Armin Meiwes killed and feasted on a willing victim at his home in Rotenburg, Germany who he met through an online ad he placed looking for someone to be eaten. And once he was done, he butchered the man's body and stored it in freezer bags in a secret compartment in his kitchen refrigerator for the next 20 months. In total, Meiwes consumed more than 44 pounds of human flesh and even tried to grind his bones into flour. But eventually, the meat began to run out, so Meiwes returned online to find a new victim. This time, however, a college student alerted the police to the ads. When they raided Meiwes' home, they uncovered his first victims' remains along with a four-hour-long videotape of the initial encounter — only 19 minutes of which were played at his trial because the rest was deemed "too disturbing to show." Go inside the disturbing story of the German c...

This lion, named Sikio Kali, is one of the Mara’s famous four Musketeers.

A king of the Mara meets his match This lion, named Sikio Kali, is one of the Mara’s famous four Musketeers. He recently got on the wrong side of a warthog’s tusks during a predation attempt, leaving him with a deep wound to his forehead. Taking down prey is not without risk for lions, as warthogs can inflict nasty gashes with their tusks (as can buffalo and wildebeest with their horns). In this case, Masai Mara Reserve rangers spotted Sikio's plight just in time, as his wounds were septic and covered in maggots. After receiving the call for help and rushing to the scene, the SWT/KWS Mara Mobile Vet Unit found the lion lying in the shade, trying to shield his face from flies. The intervention came not a moment too soon for Sikio, as vets manually cleaned and disinfected his wounds, before administering drugs to aid healing. Subsequent sightings have shown him recovering well, although this battle-worn fellow – who is already missing most of his left ear – will lo...
