Countries are geographically label based on their locations and not their cultures. This is the biggest problem in the Sudan's civil wars. Sudanese are caught in between trying to define what Sudan is or what Sudanese mean in reality. As a southern Sudanese, I don't label myself Sudanese because someone else think that he is more Sudanese than me. In Sudan, Arab descents label Sudan as an Arab country or Islamic one. That's why Sudan has an ambassador to the Arab League. Why would Sudan have an ambassador to the Arab League when its population is not homogeneously Arab populated country. I don't see Sudan as an Arab country but African. Just because there are a percentage of Arabs population in Sudan doesn't make Sudan an Arab country. But, Sudan will always remain African. The Arabs in Sudan have wrong misconceived Sudan's identity. Another issue we are facing in Sudan is who is Arab? This question becomes one of the challenge when people talk about Sudan politics. To my understanding and many others, Arab in Sudan is an ideology and a cultural mind set inflicted into Sudanese mind. Those who are Muslims even though are blacks see themselves as Arabs compared to those who keep their African cultures. Becoming Muslim in Sudan make an individual gain an access to the Sudan's economic and political status. This is a mindset that need to be change so that Sudan gains her African ism.
