When you get down to it, all they really want and need is a good home and a dream of a bright future. Should we leave these children grow up in institutions simply because they’re from a different race? Who is to judge?

Peace be you, I would like to say I am proud to be Sudanese, as much as I despise my government I love my people. But most of all I love my UMMAH. Thus I am Muslim (alhamduliah), I don’t think it matters whether you are dark skinned or fair or in between or what race etc.. We were taught by our prophet peace be upon him to travel, marry and learn from people who come from different cultures or ethnic backgrounds in order to realize that we bleed the same same blood; for the color is always red and we were born from the same father and mother which are Adam and Hawa who were the first human beings on this planet. Our prophet said so in order for us to live together and raise our children together just how people used to do in the holy land ages ago even if we do believe in different things that doesn’t mean we cant live in peace together! Why? Because the highest law is the moral law. Nonetheless culture brings a big role on how children are raised, that’s why we have so much racism going on because our parents, grandparents and their parents probably taught the next generation that they are the best tribe or they’re the best race cause they’re African or Asian or Arab or blah blah… But back to the question concerning Sudanese women; Sadly most Sudanese women believe that they are Arab and I’m saying this out of experience, even though they don’t talk about it but they can hint it if you have good perception. Sadly I really don’t blame them because they were taught like that, I think the fault is within the men who forget what our prophet said. So its our job to show the next generation that it doesn’t matter where you’re from, its your deeds and words that define you as a human being. Hope this can answer your question and peace be upon you all.

Sudan is an African country geographically. 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.
