The white nations originally colonized Africa to stop the slave trade. The only way to stop it was by controlling the ports on the coast. If they controlled the ports, boats could not ship the slaves. Once they were there, they expanded their operations inland. They did not just remain in the ports. They stayed and even went in deeper into the continent long after slavery was eliminated throughout the Americas. The Americans have an expression: give an inch, they take a mile. Likewise, the arabs: The camel has his nose under the tent.
