Selim Aga

Selim Aga A Slave's Odyssey

Abducted from his home in the Nuba Mountain of Sudan, Selim Aba was bought and sold at least eight times before being released from slavery by Robert Thurburn, who took Selim to his home in Scotland in 1836. Selim would later become an author, lecturer, and explorer, accompanying Sir Richard Burton to West Africa.
