The word unity become like a cup of tea in the mouth of the Sudanese politicians dominating everything in the media channels and all parliaments at both levels.
According to my little understanding of the term unity meaning, there will be no reason to use it day and night since we believed that it is associated with human beings values, principles and ideals based on mutual respect, good understanding among parties and positive partnership over essentials thing in our lives for examples chances of getting a job, rights to marry from any ethnic group without discrimination because of your beliefs, race, languages and colour. Will the Arab accept it in the future?
Sudanese Arab must prove to the world their readiness to marry their daughters to Sudanese African without any conditions rather than talking all the time about the unity that has nothing to do with the real problem we have faced for nearly sixty years after impendence.
Before independence and after, the Sudanese African were not aware about their brothers Arab objectives under the surface, they thought their visitors will show a great respect and honour the nice welcome they received at the beginning of their journey to Sudan.
The early years went smooth and nobody realise that their agenda is to islamise the whole nations in the country and dominate every thing.
They were allowed to marry from African girls regardless of their colour, language and even their religion.
What happen they don’t care about their wives Africans by origin if they become less productive, even they are not allowed to accompany their biological kids because of their colour no more.
Right now there are many in Omdurman mainly Murada suburbs. They will get a chance to get out when it is dark so that nobody will know them as an Arabs wives. Imagine.
The beginning of their agenda started when they pushed hard Africans from North to the West and south followed by unwelcome joining of the Arab League despite that there is no any clear similarity between us and the Arab.
A number of African who does not know what the Arab were after tried to Islamise voluntarily but they are not allowed to lead any kind of prayers may be because of their language that could not sound the real Arabic language or because of their marks on their faces.
Those who joined the Islam without real desirability were not stable in thinking, many of them push forehead hard to the ground to get a little black mark so that could be recognised as a real one.
But thank doctor Turabi who rejected their membership after he realised that they are opportunists.
If you witnessed an Arab man in the court your witness not hundred precent tolerated, if you want to accompany an Arab girl from Uni all pedestrians will lose their concentration on the street and stop walking looking at you like a man from another planet.
When they reached their homes they will start to talk about how bad the Africans. They are not socialised, they are not suppose to be given ministerial posts, they don’t deserve presidency chair because of their marks on their faces, their colours, and their appearance.
Ok we are not socialise, not wise, not ready to be in Islamic boat as you thought, then why did they insisted raising the unity volume any time of prayers, time of toilet, time of wedding, time of going to Mecca.
Did we change from what they don’t like from us? The answer is a big NO we did not change and we will never change what they don’t want from us at all. We are satisfied.
Lastly we love Arab as human beings and in turn they must prove to the world first that they are after unity not after the land and the resources.
And that will not come if they don’t believe that the person who worships cattle’s has a right to marry a Christian and a Muslim girl without any question about his religion or beliefs.
We have no problem with Christianity we have no problem with Islam, we are all Sudanese, sharing some common values but we have a problem with those who don’t understand how to recognise some of our nation as a Sudanese with the same rights.
If they failed to prove it right now let us not waste time, the ownership title is already there and the vast land can be filled by brothers who have no large land if they like.
You brothers the appearance of the Lion teeth in the assembly, in the palace and in the cabinet ministers does not guarantee good faith at all.
Leave dancing and think properly. Don’t waste your time talking about your brothers, who paid visit to the North, they will come. If they don’t the land still there they won’t take it to the North.
