In a former post of mine,"Fantasy" I have described the man of my dreams as follows:
" Proud of his African roots, embracing his Arabic culture"
What I was trying to desrcibe is a Sudanese man... Northern, Southern, Eastern, Western, doesnt make a difference to me..
But in this phrase seems like I made some limitations..
When I said Arab Culture I might be unfairly discriminating against Southerns.. Who I "think" and correct me if I'm wrong, are not much related to the Arab Culture as much as people from the north and east.. and some tribes of the west..
Moreover, by saying "African Roots", if we come to think about it.. setting my self as an example here.. going back to my roots.. my great great gandfathers.. I wouldnt be able to say that my roots are 100% african.. In my roots I have a mixture of different places from Africa..
My great Grandfather of my mother's side is from Morocco.. My great Grandfather from my Fathers side is from Egypt..
Meanwhile, my great grandmother from my mothers side is from Al-Hijaz "KSA".. and then again my great grandmother from my Fathers side is originaly from the north land of Sudan "Abu Hamad".
And so are many of the sudanese in northern and eastern Sudan..
A mix of East, West and North Africa, as well as Hijaz and Turkey..
The Original 100% pure african roots can only be found in some southern and western tribes..
But then again, My father and mother were both born and raised in the land of Sudan..
Sudan is an African country..
Therefore I would like to think of my self as 100% African, with mixed roots..
And as for the man of my dreams, he just have to have the African blood running in his veins.. Arabic Culture?! I'd rather change that to Islamic Culture..Arab or non Arab wont matter to me..Its the Islamic Faith that comes first and African Culture right after it..
African I was born... and African will my children be..
