Israelite Migration to Northern and Western Africa:
After the destruction of Jerusalem and the temple many Hebrews fled into Africa.
Between the periods of Pompey and Julius Ceasaer about 1,000,000 Hebrews fled to Africa. The Hebrews hid and lived in Africa for over 1,500 years from 70 A.D. to 1619 A.D.
George E. Lichtblau author of "Jewish Roots in Africa" had this to say in his book about the Hebrew dispersion into Africa:
‘Pressed under sweeping regional conflicts, Jews settled as traders and warriors in Yemen, the Horn of Africa, Egypt, the kingdom of Kush and Nubia, North African Punic settlements (Carthage and Velubilis), and areas now covered by Mauritania. More migrants followed these early Jewish settlers to Northern Africa…’
Rudolf R Windsor author of "Babylon to Timbuktu" said this in his book on page 120:
‘The black Jews who migrated to the Sudan from the North converged with the Jews migrating from the eastern Sudan to the countries of the Niger River…There is much proof, and still much more to be revealed by scholars, that there existed prior to the slave trade and subsequent to it many tribes, colonies, and kingdoms in West Africa’.
