Even on that last point, as I understand it, the vast majority of slaves from that region didn't even cross the Atlantic. They crossed the Sahara into the Ottoman Empire.
Yes, they went East not West for the majority under some really horrendous conditions and informal surgeries before they left. The slaves died like flies but some made it to MENA to become slaves in the caliphates. The ones that went West may have been the lucky ones, although you couldn’t say the luck was very great!
