Misseriya Arabs of Abyei - 17 Mar 08

[shortydeemac]

@simbakafiri they are Arab because of ethnicity and they are black racially like how Manny Ramirez is both black and Latino/Dominican. Anyone who knows about the difference between race and ethnicity understands these things. Color doesnt mean nothing because Arab is not a race. Im Muslim so I have known 100's of Arabs and some are black, some are mixed, some are light etc. THEY ARE NOT A RACE BUT AN ETHNICITY. And not because of religion because only 20% of Muslims worldwide are Arab.

[LordInit]

@shortydeemac You are correct! Ethnicity is all about culture including language, and it's a strange thing. The Baggara don't want to admit it, but they actually have more in common with the Dinka than with actual Arabs of Arabia and not just skin color! They herd the same species of African cattle as the Dinka and practice many of the same traditions such as wrestling. They share the same African ancestors! What's sick is superficial ethnic differences are stressed to the point of insanity!

[shortydeemac]

@deltaOromia You're an ignorant jahil. First learn some history. Arab is not a race, Arab is an ethnicity and a culture. Just like how there are blacks in Puerto Rico, Cuba, Dominican Republic who are both black and latino, there are black Arabs. Arab is not a race. There are black Arabs and black Bedouins throughout the Middle East. You dont know much about race/ethnicity so just close your mouth.

[simbakafiri]

why are they called arabs...is it coz of their religion coz they are darker than most kenyans or other east africans

[liviti]

sudanese people are so beautiful. this fighting is all a shame.

[itstopcatbitch]

You see what the Northern Sudanese government doing they made us a fucking laughting stock....AlJazeera channel always targeting sudan and sending bad images

about sudan.i thought we 1 " we are Arabs" what happen? and albashar need to stop dancing seeriously, we are a joke to the world because of the Aljazeera i hate them

[fmoham01]

Abyei belongs to the Misseriya. Long live the Misseriya nation.

[itstopcatbitch]

@fmoham01 for now

[adamasrinsky]

Abyei is now back home in the Arab World.

[Killayut]

LOL you can not give up the land of the Dinkas. You are wanderers like the Fulanis of Nigeria. Why don't they go and claim other people's land instead of Dinka land. ?

[hummingbird975]

Its sad to see so many southern Sudanese people are so bitter that they think that at a grassroots level their lives will be better off, when in reality their lives will be no difference with only the few new elite gaining. There is such a preoccupation with the North ( for known reasons) that people will fail to see that the depopulation and chaos that goes on after 2011 will have more to do with Uganda and other countries bordering the south than the North.

[adikiny]

@hummingbird975

Every people have got their own natural borders in same way as sharks live in deep waters of oceans, camels in the deserts, polar bears in the cold polar region and baboons in tropical forests, close to the Equator. Nevertheless, imperialism, whether Muslim or Christian do not respect these natural borders. Imperialists and expansionists believe that their dream of a WORLD GOVERNMENT, disappearance of natural borders and extinction of SPECIES will be accepted on planet Earth.

[hummingbird975]

@adikiny Ah, yes the New World order will soon be upon us, yet most people are still half asleep when it comes to this, they don't realise alot (not all) fighting is part of a greater plan. It's good to see that you do though ;)

[adikiny]

@hummingbird975 ,

The ILLUMINATI are not Human Beings but ruthless, calculating and players from another planet. They create empires, colonies etc and play around with lands and peoples. They created 'Ivory Coast' and care not whether the north is Muslim with descendants of Arabs while the and south is animist. They despise natural borders and are FORCING one republic for all in 'COTE D'IVOIRE'.

The ultimate aim of the ILLUMINATI is to establish a Muslim empire in Africa, America and Europe.

[adikiny]

Misiriya are from MISRI which is the Biblical name for Egypt. Misri was the home of MOSES the pharaoh. The Misiriya are not Luo.

In as far as ABYEI is concerned, that is the heart of LUOLAND. The exact word is BEI also written BEY or bezañ [be'ei] in Keltic Languages. In English its BEING. In Luo it's BET (to be).

Arabs came from Asia Minor.

[frenzykiller909]

@adikiny r u mentely ok u wanna teach us about our own ppl ? lsn fuker the misseryia hail from a larger tribe called albaggara (cattle herders) the baggara in sudan r of arab origin they were heavily influened with dinka tribe and had more gradually intermarriages than any other arab tribe in thesudan thats y they r black and even look african but that doesnt mean that some of em look wont look arabic and btw the baggara r found also in iraq and syria.

[itstopcatbitch]

does Abyei sound Arabic to them?

or that all man> if its theirs why dont they

have name for it? freaking believeable

[99meemo99]

@itstopcatbitch oh wow, I knew that u r obsessed! So the farthest u reached is determining according to names and what they sound like?! So sir, does Bahr el Ghazal sound Dinka to u? I believe no! Yet, I see it under the SS gov.

Man, ur statements are so dumb, they're irresistible!

[KushaDwipa]

Its funny sometimes I could not tell the so called Africans from the so-called Arabs. Arab jounralists need to understand the culture of the Sudanese Arab is no less African then the Dinkas. Sudanese Arabs are nothing more than some Africans that settled in Arabia in the Bronze Age and moved back to the other side of the sea 100 0 years ago. These people look just like idiginous black Arabians today. Tthe narrator said it looks like an African dance the Missiriya were doing. Its also Arab.

[itstopcatbitch]

if it was their is they way the call it a Dinka name

Khartoum is a Dinka land as well, they change histroy

those motherfucker they where trying to justfiy the name

and give it an Arab meaning.just like Khartoum which it makes

no sence..they call thoose people Arab..as you can see, so those people

have no brain at all

[99meemo99]

@itstopcatbitch "Khartoum is a Dinka land as well" LOOOOOOL Congtars!!! U just redefined the word "IGNORANT", philologists r proud of u, though historians will probably have a heart attack! LMAO

U can't imagine how entertaining u r!

[itstopcatbitch]

@99meemo99

Khartoum in Dinka means = al-Mogran or meeting of the 2 niles

there is only 1 meaning in Arabic which is "elephant’s trunk" now tell

me which on makes more sence to you.whats an elephant's trunk doing in

sudan.ask any dinka what Kar mean and what toum means.kar means river

toum mean meeting and thats what your history hid and cover up the truth even those people on 0:03 are called arabs. you serious! you call your history book "history" its fairy tales! clearly fairy tale

[99meemo99]

@itstopcatbitch Making hisotry out of the blue, doesn't work on planet earth, u need to work harder. A historical hypothesis made by a southern writer "mr.Mawut, I believe" in the late 90's doesn't make it a fact, hence, it's not in what u call "our history" or in any sane ppl's history. The same Dinka claimed Juba & Malakal for the same reason. Jeings claiming every inch of Sudan isn't new, they reached SS from the Sahara around 1500, and the rudeness can't stop with endless land claiming.

[99meemo99]

@itstopcatbitch Al-Khartoum has its well known history written by Nubians, Turks and Brits before Sudanese. Not cow urine ppl r the qualified to come and desperately crap around seeking a "hisotry". So GIVE ME A BREAK!!

U know what's ur problem? ur hatred is blocking info out of ur tiny brain that u can't even differentiate between an Arab, mixed Arabs, and Arabized people. Keep entertaining me, please!

[makethdit]

Abyei is Dinka land. These people must go north after 2011 by all necesary means.

[makethdit]

These people must leave Abyei after 2011, whether through peace or war.

[makethdit]

These people must leave Abyei after 2011, whether through peace or war.

[xmantion1]

The Original Arabs Of Arabia R Black Hamites! Ethiopians.Prophet Noah's Son Ham Migrated 2 Ancient Middle East B4 Abraham.Hagar The Egyptian Gave Birth 2 Ismail The Father Of The Original Black Arabs! Keturah Another Egyptian Bared Abraham More Black Arabs. Arab Tribes Mixed There Seed With Esau/Edomites Witch R The Pale Arabs. Read Gen 25:1-4. Present Day Arabs R Turkish Descendants Of The Ottoman Empire! Iranians Asians & Khazars Converts 2 Islam.The Biblical Israelites Were Black Also...

[BattleAngel]

i usually respect aljazeera but it is disingenious to call the miseeriya "arab" without putting into context that the are just arabic speakers. i would say they may be arab culturally but come on mofo's this video proves that they are african through n through. news and academics who constantly refer to the black people in sudan as "arabs" while not putting into context that they just speak the language are bad reporters. its likes saying jamaicans are english whites because they speak english.

[frenzykiller909]

@BattleAngel plz don't say sudanese misseriya r not of arab origin got it ? There r tribes in sudan that r found in the gulf region like the banu rasheed,bani khaled,bani arak,makki tribe,almanasir,etc. The misseryia have arab origins but now mixed of blood with the dinka and other african tribes proof that shows the misseriya r not just arabic speakers they belong to a larger tribe called al-baggara that is found in syria,iraq and sudan plz check b4 speaking

[KushaDwipa]

@BattleAngel - no it is the fair skinned people like the newsman who now speak the Afro Asiatic dialect called Arabic. IF you go to Arabia you will see the real Arabs look just like the Sudanese and black Saharans. When the real Arabs left Arabia they were called the Sudan and "the blacks" and Akhdar by Syrians Iranians and by themselves. There were no fair skinned people called Arabs in that time. They and many people of Hijaz and Central Arabia are in fact among the LAST of the Arabs.

[90sraisedme]

i can't stand black people pretending to be something they're not but i'm happy to see these wannabes atleast retained some of their African culture/rituals inspite of the arabization...those tribal dances damn sure aint arab influenced..

[issareign]

@90sraisedme lol i was gonna say, thank god those arent arab influenced dances. i agree, these arent arabs, nor are they wannabes you dumby. they are people, who inherited their traditions just as you did. they may only speak arab, and have some arab customs (i guess?) but they are not arabs, nor are they lessor then you because of it.

[computer241]

arabs always when to steal anythin

[aan3]

Has anyone ever considered that in many African countries no one belongs to one ethnic "tribe" or ethnic groups for that matter? There has been intermarriages, cultural exchanges, trade and blending of hundreds of cultures and ethnic groups in Sudan and other African countries for centuries. The U.S. is not the only multiethnic and cultural country in the world.

[djalirecords]

The Meseriyah Arabs are Ethnic Arabs that settled in Sudan over 1000 years. Their original land is the Arabian Peninsuela and they are black because the Arabs married Black women.. and only the males are married to black women but the women gets married from a person who is an Arab origin to keep the lineage.

[90sraisedme]

Even if what your saying is true these people are clearly ethnically more African than arabs...Some Messiriyah having arab bloodline from over a thousand years ago makes them no more arab than Cilcilian-Italians with Moor(African) bloodlline(from over a thousand) years ago makes them black..

[shazaly129]

meseriyah tribs were slave of real arabs

المسيريه عبيد العرب

[Ancientafrica]

Are the Arab? They were recover their heritage one day. The problem is education; they will immediately know they are Black and African.

[deltaOromia]

OMG the world is full mentally ill people. i thought only Somalis and some Abyssinians got a problem of identifying themselves. The world need to have a cure for mentally ill ppl like transsexuals, black Arabs and Gays

[duckandcoverX]

@deltaOromia Proof that you're an idiot

1. The etymology of Arab = those of barren desert land. Northern Sudan is a desert region.

2. Being Arab is defined by speaking Arabic & being from Arabic speaking countries. Many people mistakenly confuse Arab as a race.

3. Thus, being black does not negate being arab. one is a race, the other an ethnicity.

4. arabic has roots in africa. look it up

5. The north is nubian (kemetic/pharaohs). South = nilotic.

6. Black is not an ethicity. its a race.

[deltaOromia]

@duckandcoverX ,Sorry to tell you that there is only one race in this world i.e human race. Arabs don't have any root from Africa rather they are migrants and were also nomads. Africa belongs to Berbers and blacks. Arabs controlled Africa by expanding the Religion & superiority of their own culture and Language. yes Black is not an ethnicity but color . You can change your culture, religion and language but not color. so Berbers easily accepted as Arab while blacks are left in identity crisis.

[duckandcoverX]

@deltaOromia Hmmm where in my comment did I ever say anything about the himan race?And if you actually looked things up beforehand, you would find that the Arabic language itself has heavy roots and etymology from the Amharic language, which originated in Ethiopia, and is one of the oldest languages on earth. And in Sudan, Arabs did not dominate , there was actually a period in which Nubian kings banned Arabs from marrying the local population & only with their approval did peaceful mixing happn

[itstopcatbitch]

@djalirecords where did you get that from your north sudan fairtale fucking Idiot

thats why the south is getting away from the non sence that the north make up...people from the north who call themselves Arabs related their hartiage back to the prophet Mohummed ! and yeah Arab do dance like that to get their lineage sick dicks..hopfuly the south will sepreate and see if the Arab are going to help the north and their with the Billion of dollars debt with China and other countries

[eekkr2009]

daym its a shame two afrikan tribes killing each other. we need to weak up n unite.

[issareign]

@eekkr2009 lol a little late for that i'd say, africa is gripped in eugenics.

[muslim0youth]

the-concept-of-an-arab-in-suda­n-means::arab-in-relation-of-b­lood-not-skin-which-means-that­-these-people-can-be-arab-even­-if-they-are-black

[deltaOromia]

is it new form of Biology where Sudanese Arab slaves take blood of Arab but not skin of their master? they call themselves Arab bcs they feared Arabs will Slaughter, rape & sold them like they did to their forefather before 1000 yrs ago. Isn't that what Arabs were doing to heathen with help of the Verses from their Qur'an? ....Stop Slave Trading in Sudan!!!

[issareign]

@deltaOromia stfu typical ignorant black biased person. you people have been enslaving each other long before anyone came in to partake in what was already a common custom in your culture, slavery. arabs dont enslave eachother like you guys do, jews and christians dont enslave eath other either, only baseless savages do.

[immeasurableness]

do something about your problems you fucking mofos. east africa is already unstable as it is and sudan cant have another big war.

[nipomocarlos84]

they are not arabs they are regular niggers that speak broken arab like the blks of the usa ebonic arabic. they are the same as their nigger brothers no differrence

[handsomeboy490]

lol, r those guys arabs? hahahaha they r not. look at them closely. pple like those r mixed just like some east afrikan swahilis, arabs + afrikan ancestry. calling someone elses land your land = declaration of war. think it over negroid "arabs"

[SudaniWozool]

Sudan is for ALL SUDANESE !!!!

[kamajiboy]

Islamic armies invaded and enslaved 120 million blacks 1000 years before Europe even had people in africa. Mohammed the pedophile prophet called blacks 'demon faces' and 'raisin heads'.

[DiversityisAdversity]

@kamajiboy I agree with your comment 100%

[SudaniWozool]

I'm from north Sudan !!!

i think this land is Dinka's land not arabs !!!

Sudan = Black

[frankuol]

the thing that disturbs me about this vid is how that old man say abyei is not dinkas it ours look dinkas were there long before even arabs entered sudan so why say its not theres

[Omer698]

you were never there, look at the eastern regions that surround abyei, ethiopia, eritria all these place look nothing like dinka

[frankuol]

do you even know wat you are talkin about wat does ethiopia and eritria have to do wit abyei they dont share the border not even close and the dinkas have always been there even before the colony

[issareign]

@frankuol he didnt say that in a alienating way about the dinks, he meant that land is land, how can anyone proclaim ownership of tectonic plates. these people are simple nomads. you blacks are so easily lead astray aren't ya?

[richierich890]

@frankuol i know what you mean

[muddphudle]

Throw those fucking arabs outta there. Who the fuck do they think they are trying to move in on black folks?

[MaineHED]

Don't you see there skin color they are black. If they are Arabs, what people lived there before they came?

[hankz69]

We all Sudanese all we need is peace

[translationwiz]

to debatrose: you make a very sensible argument. One that looks towards the future. and in the interest of all. I am not an expert on Sudan. I have worked and met many of the Denka and of North Sudan. Honestly,they are the best of ppl.wonderful ppl. I cried over their plight. I would wager that: Were it not for knowledge of the OIL the problems there would be less. And not at the scale of wars and separation. perhaps you could comment on how long has the problem between N.and S. been this bad.

[debaterose]

I think that the south is too biter (well because north sudanese ppl are really racist) I think both the north and the south have a common enemy...it is called bd governments. Sudanese ppl have been peagued with bad leaders since thier independence from britin. Another problem is ignorance...which leads me to think.i highly doubt if the south will survive as a nation..I can already see other gready savage african nations attacking it and civil wars there! southern ppl correct me if i am wrong!!

[Kizeze47]

This is a time whereby Arabs should leave Dinka land to its indigenous Abyei(Ngok) people. Southern Sudan is an Independent state and it will still remain independent forever as it's in the Bible! Arabs should back off to North where they belong before we take any action otherwise if war go back this time it will never base in south again, it will definitely stand in north. You guys should fuck off earlier before 2011.

[abrahamdeng]

Even tiny soil of Dinka can't and willn't remain to Northern Sudan. There is no way that the Part of mighty Dinka/Jieng will be Northern. Whatever its take we will pay.

Abraham

[Nhomlaau]

Abyei belongs to Dinka Ngok period.

[erihustla]

i love sudanise people like they say your neibour is your best friend, just love them. God bless you sudanise people for your good heart. oh yea forget the torrorist bush.

[wadalssagai]

sudan

[Omer698]

I want the southeners to vote for independence, just leave abyei and build south sudan (if you ever can lol)

[Ayeere]

so this story takes the side of the people who wander around between teh north and south and lay claim to both, as the last man said, becuase they come there its thiers. Yet when talking about israel, its entirely differnt? I like aljazeera but i dont understand what they are trying to do here.

[mrdhikrbeads]

Well, they're all Sudanese for one, and their indigenous dwelling places overlap, as the Northerners are nomads. While the so calles Israelis are mostly Eastern European settled in the Arabia. You know, This video sheds light on the complexities behind the conflict in Sudan. It is evident that there are interests between different factions for natural resources. Whoever is turning this issue into a racial genocide issue is completly decontextualizing the problem and creating a straw man.

[mrdhikrbeads]

Furthermore, the Zionist project was facilitated by Europeans(English->Balfour Dec) for Europeans, at the expense of the natives, Palestininans, ALSO the nomadic nature of the northern "Arabs" is characteristic of tribes ALL OVER AFRICA. So Ayeere, you are comparing apples with oranges.

[mrdhikrbeads]

OK OK stop the presses, I just reviewed the video and it said the Arabs settled in Sudan centuries ago. I admit: in light of this that Ayeere's question is valid. Well, back to the drawing board.

[Ayeere]

Well is probably b.c they see it as arab/muslims fighting black christians.

[BIGMEL1981]

goverment stealing the wealth

[lonovik]

We Muslims fighting for equality in whole world which is Hijacked by few tyrants.

[wildchildplasma]

A good video thank you for showing this

[jerkinp]

Ironically that invasion also allowed knowledge that was lost after the fall of Roman Empire and new scientific discoveries by the Islamic caliphate to seep into medieval Europe. Also millions of Muslims have settled in Western Europe over the years and Islam is the dominant religion in some Eastern Europe and Balkan states. Then again it has also caused a lot of problems for Europe... such as terrorism, and separatist movements for an Islamic states on Christian soil.

[PauloGVieira]

You do realise that terrorism did not start with Islam.

[lonovik]

Sepratist movement ? Which country ? Kosovo ? If they treat other religions properly their would be no separatist movement.

[adikiny]

Arabs used to trek to Spain and even Poitier which they claimed as Arab land. However, Queen Isabella of Spain finally waged a final war that sent all Arabs out of Spain.

[adikiny]

Arabs invaded Europe and reached as far as Tours. Nevertheless, on 10th October 732 Charles Martel faced Abdul Rahman Al Ghafiqi at the Battle of Tours (also known as the Battle of Poitiers). Arabs ran back to the Maghreb (Magharibi), Saudi Arabia and Turkery and never tried to settle in Europe again.

[PauloGVieira]

I am Portuguese and am more qualified to talk about this topic than you - it was the Arab conquest that took Europe out of the dark age. The people of Spain and Portugal today are quite proud of their own Arab roots in the language, culture and music.

[adikiny]

Do you call Arab conquest an enlightment? When Arabs or Jews arrived in Europe they found Ancient Greek writing (writing of the Luo people of the Nile and Lake Victoria). The Arab forced slaves to read and write for them because they considered it a shame for masters to learn how to read or write. Shakespeare was a Luo and black too. What Arabs brought to Spain was their religion called ISLAM and the Madarasa. The mathematician Pythagoras was a Greek. Ancient Greek Alphabet is Luo. Thank you.

[PauloGVieira]

As I said before you are definately in no position to comment on Arab influence over the Iberian peninsula - I am both Spanish and Portuguese and know more than you of the positive influence it has had on my culture.

Based on your silly argument so far you are clearly out of your depth.

[99meemo99]

@adikiny oh man that's a lot of bullshit for 1 comment!

[yousifhela]

no no no she made a deal with them either to convert to Christianity or be SENT BACK DEAD!
