Chidi,
I know that you are probably all jazzed up and on fire, maybe burning or you want to burn somebody after keeping company with Ayi Kwei Armah's Two Thousand Seasons
With impeccable presenters such as such as my two personal favourites the lovely Elizabeth Puranam and Hazem Sika (I love his self-assured chutzpah) - we cannot accuse Al-Jazeera which is one of the top TV networks in the world, of negligence or of ignoring or what psychologists refer to as "avoidance" any of the various aspect of slavery – on the basis of a single programme that you viewed, Chidi. We could note that each programme has its own focus : there's the trans-Atlantic slave trade from West Africa to the New World quite distinct and separate from "the Arab Slave Trade" in which their supplies were mainly from the East...
You should at least be impressed by the attention al-Jazeera gives to the recent sale of Africans in Libya : Al Jazeera TV : The slave trade

AlJezzera TV network is shaking the table with their programme, "Slave Route". They are however, focusing on the Euro-America slave routes, ignoring the Arab slave routes.CAO.
