The Baqṭ () was a treaty between the Christian state of Makuria and the new Muslim rulers of Egypt in the 7th century. Lasting almost seven hundred years, it is by some measures the longest-lasting treaty in history. The name comes either from a Coptic language term for barter or a Greco-Roman term for pact.

The Maafa (Swahili for "Great disaster"), the African Holocaust, the Holocaust of Enslavement, or the Black Holocaust are political neologisms popularized since 1988 to describe the history and ongoing effects of atrocities inflicted upon Black people worldwide. Of particular focus are those committed by non-Africans (specifically Europeans and Arabs in the context of the Trans-Saharan slave trade, the Indian Ocean slave trade, the Red Sea slave trade, and the Atlantic slave trade), which continue to the present day through imperialism, colonialism and other forms of oppression.
