What if I told you that these people are Turkish ? Many do not know. But Turkey has had a community of people of African descent since the Ottoman times. As a matter of fact, it is often ignored in the West. But the first pilot of African descent was actually Afro Turkish, and his name was Ahmed Ali Chilton. Africans from regions such as Kenya, Sudan, An and Niger would settle in the Ottoman Empire, and then during the population exchange after the Ottoman Empire collapsed, they mainly settled around southern Turkey. In Izmir, their roles varied as some served as unix in the Ottoman Empire, meanwhile others served as a regular troops alongside Albanian and Circassians, Subjects of the Ottoman Empire called Bashi Bouzouki, which translates as mad men. While over time many have married and mixed into the general Turkish population, there are still around twenty thousand Afro Turks of predominantly African descent and who identify as Afro Turks. The Afro Turkish community recently revived the Calf festival celebration, which is rooted in traditional African spur ritual practices rather than in Turkic or West Asian traditions. Share believe, inspire blacks be.
