Arrival of first Africans/Blacks to Mongolia
Around 5000 B.C., Africans began to migrate from Kush into China and Central Asia from Iran, while other groups infiltrated China by sea on the eastern border. The east and west arrivals of Blacks into China led to the development of the southern Chinese branches of Africoids called Yi and li-man Yueh and Man, and northern Chinese branches of Africoids. The Northern Chino-Africans were called Kui-shuang (Kushana) or Yueh-chih. The southern tribes were called Yi and li-man Yueh and Man. In addition to the Yueh Tribes along the north east coastal region, Blacks also lived in Turkestand, Mongolia, Transoxiana, the Ili region and Xinjiang Province.
Some Northern Chino-Africans, called So-Yueh, settled in the Northeast coastal region and some in modern day Mongolia. From 1766 – 1100 BCE the Shang (Chiang or Chi'ang) Dynasty, an all black Africoid Dynasty came to power in China. After the defeat of the Shang by the Zhou dynasty, we begin to see a Homogenous people.

Arrival of First Africans/ Blacks in Afghanistan
There is a long history of Arabs in Afghanistan, most of them from Africa. Dating back as early as the 7th Century when ethnic Arab fighters migrated to the area during conflicts in what is now Afghanistan, there has been a significant presence of people of African descent in Afghanistan, mostly in military service, during the Soviet-Afghan war and when America invaded in the 20th Century.
Afghanistan became part of the Achaemenid Empire, after it was conquered by Darius I of Persia. The Achaemenid Empire reigned from 550 to 330 B.C. At the height of its power after the conquest of Egypt, the empire included approximately eight million km spanning three continents: Asia, Africa and Europe (Ancient Encyclopedia History). At its highest point, the empire included what is now known territories of Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, parts of Central Asia, Asia Minor, Thrace and Macedonia, much of the Black Sea coastal regions, Iraq, northern Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Israel, Lebanon, Syria, and all significant population centers of ancient Egypt as far west as Libya (Ancient Encyclopedia History) . During the conquest, in Africa, they captured slaves and used them for labor as well as military service. These Africans helped the Achaemenid Empire to conquer Afghanistan.
Between 650 AD and 1900 AD, millions of Africans were enslaved by Arab slave traders and taken across the Red Sea, Indian Ocean, and Sahara to Afghanistan. In 1303 AD, Abu Abdullah Muhammad Ibn Battuta was born in modern-day Tangier, Morraco. He studied law and served as a judge. He would later be known as a famous world traveler and scholar. During his 30-year voyage, he visited the Middle East, China, Sri Lanka, India, much of Africa and parts of Europe. He wrote about his travels in his book, Rihal (meaning "travels"). He was the first African to visit modern-day Afghanistan.
