In page Slavery in the Ottoman Empire:

"

Africa was a major supplier of slaves for the Ottoman empire. The Africans were largely pagans and therefore viewed, under Islamic law, as legitimate targets for enslavement. Slaves were brought to the Ottoman empire by three main routes: the trans-Saharan slave trade, to Egypt and Libya; the Red Sea slave trade, across that sea; and the Indian Ocean slave trade, from East Africa via the Indian Ocean and the Arabian Peninsula. These slave routes were all inherited from the Muslim empires which had preceded the Ottoman.[citation needed]
