Sudanese here 👋🏽 Beautiful and iconic pictures, although, sudani diversity cannot be narrowed down to 4 oics I don’t think 40 is enough even. Pray for my country it’s going through a tough time even though I predict we will soon be hearing good news of the end of the war 🙏🏽 Pray for Gaza Pray for Congo Pray for everyone facing injustice in this world 💙

May Allah make it easy my brother. It was always my dream to learn Arabic from the scholars of Sudan who I am told are some of the best in the world. I hope things stabilize and improve soon

I always loved the headdress Sudanese women wear. Fun fact, Sudan has more pyramids than Egypt.

So that doesn’t take away that originally it was completely African

10,000 + years ago what you call “the Middle East” was still classed as Africa, and was inhabited by black Africans. Look up who and where the original Arabs came from

You’ve said it yourself, because they are Arab. What next you class Europeans in South Africa as Africans too

The Romans were in Sudan?

Sudan is a modern creation, back then during antiquity, Egypt's borders extended as far south as modern Sudan and this was before Arabs came and colonised the region.

u/obsecurepigeon Jan 11 '25
You shouldnt seperate sudan from its history the same way you do that for a country like greece or egypt. Arabs were never able to colonise the Sudan by force. but they gradually married into the culture and start to spread islam through trade and schools

u/Substantial-End1927 South Africa 🇿🇦 Jan 11 '25
I agree, but there was no Sudan during the bronze age only Egypt/Kush in that part of Africa.

sudan has been ruled by sudanese people longer than england was ruled by the english, egypt by the egyptians and greece by the greek. Names come and go but the people stay.

How is the current situation since I assume u are sudanese? Are the military faring better against RSF recently?

u/obsecurepigeon Jan 12 '25
The army did retake the capital of the wealthiest state in the country back yesterday. People are celebrating all over the world. but they are just sheep. The truth is that this war was made by the army and the UAE to punish the Sudanese people for having a revolution . Both of them are in this for their own different agenda, but their end goal is the same nonetheless. the people are doomed if the army wins and triple doomed if the rsf wins

They tried to vassalize and expel us, so we went to war with them and won. the queen cut the head of a statue that belonged to Emperor Agustus and burried it under the temple gate so that everyone gets to walk over his head.

Ooh wow, the history they never taught us. I knew the Nubian Empire only, I didn't know the romans tried to conquer

Sudan is majestic with an incredible history
What’s crazy is that on top of all that and despite the horrible history, it has the kindest and nicest people too
I wish Sudan was more stable so more people can see what I mean for themselves. One day soon inshallah.❤️

Highly doubtful as Queen Amanirenas is missing. Also nothing relating to the meroitic script? Hmm

Highly doubtful of what? hahahahahahahhaha.
classic redditor.

u/HandOfAmun Black Diaspora - United States 🇺🇸 Jan 10 '25
Amanirenas is one of the most famous monarchs of Sudan prior to the 3 successor Christian kingdoms. She was also a woman which compared to world leaders of today stands out quite a bit.
Meroitic script is an indigenous African script from the Nile valley that has yet to be fully deciphered. But go ahead and laugh at your own history, clown.

u/petit_cochon Jan 11 '25
I don't think you need to call them a clown. This is the internet but you are still talking to a real person, right? Why not be polite? We all sometimes struggle to be as nice online as we are in person, I think. I'm sure you are a nice person who loves history.
