Actually, the old saw about history repeating applies here. This current situation is the second time that Arab Muslims have destroyed the famous libraries of Tombuctoo. The first destruction was in 1519 when Arab Muslims from Morocco invaded.
A link is below.
As a repentant survivor of the insanity of Pan-Africanism dogma, over the years it has amazed me that so many people of color from the Africa Diaspora hold Arab Muslim culture in high regards when in fact Arab Muslims probably destroyed as many black African cultures as the European Christians who arrived to the continent much later.
Even in the modern era, today, right now, yes, white Arab Moors are enslaving black Africans.
Yet to this day, many Pan-Africanism followers are in denial of this history of Muslims destroying black African cultures. .
