Not only west Africans were taken as slaves. West African slaves were just taken mostly to the Americas while slaves from the eastern and south African were taking eastwards. The black people in islands such as Madagascar, Mauritius, Seychelles, Reunion Island and other adjoining islands in the Indian ocean were mostly taken from eastern African.
How many Africans were taken from Africa through enslavement? There are no complete records and estimates vary from a few millions to 100,000,000 people. Most historians today think that, according to the shipping records available, between 9 and 11 million people were taken out of Africa by European slave traders and landed alive on the other side of the Atlantic. One researcher gives the higher, very detailed figure of 11,863,000.
