I personally hate to see any dividing of Arab speaking Africans and non Arabic speakers, this is a painful reminder of Euorpean foreign policies that have mis represented the tureth as to who Arabs are annd the misleading ideology that they are differnt people???In a the new age of PAN AFRICAN Unity it is imperative that when we make decisions we allow for unity with respect for cultures ethnicities develop-ment with equality respect and love for teh glorious continent we love. It is also imperative that with unity respect of differnces briging any gaps would lead to a stronger ABEYEI. Whenever I listen to the speakers of Misariya they are adamant that they are black AFRICANS and should not be seen as any other than such. We in modernity have latched on to all these false misleading racist divisions that have kept AFRICA divided underdeveloped undereducated underepresented because of lies misinterpretations and lack of knowledge by whites and thier assessment of AFRICA AND ITS GRAND BEGINNINGS"Africa is the oldest and most resoucreful of continents it is the home of the earliest of inhabbitantants on the planet it is where the first people were created who were undispituably black!!!. When it comes to language civilizations with all its trappings AFRICA has been the first in all fields, there is nothing new under the sun and science has proved that AFRICA has been th leader of all technologies from an ancient time'. AFRICANS have been l;ocked out of thier history not knowing that AFRICA was one in most of its illustrious history which is why we see that on this vast continent with all the conflicts colonisation and destruction of most of AFRICAN heritage sites cities and underepresnting of facts. Whta we see in AFRICA is that in the over 1 billion people that live on the continent whether they are ARABIC AMHARIC SWAHILI whom were according to white historians never met they were so far aprt they knew nothing of each other??? We have found that from Cape Town to Cairo Nairobi to Abidjan regardles of religion all these peoples have basically the same cultures in things like circumcisions pollygamy in marriage and a hosts of other thinsg we take for granted this shows that thruout AFRICAN hsitory the links were unignorable the transfer of culture was without doubtand things changed with alterations of outside influince and invasions destructions of the centralised infrastructure that was AFRICAS.As the second largest continent on the planet it would be ludicruous to suggest that with wars of conquest weather and destructions of viable cities that were functioning and integrated, dysfunctional weather dynamics that these things did not lead to the demise of Africa as a whole. AFRICA could never be x conquored as a the conquoringh of a single nation so what happned was they captured cities and weakened the centraliseddynamics of what was all EGYPT; WHICH INCLUDED ALL THE MID EAST AND EVERY SINGLE CITY IN THE MEDITERANEAN his is fact . History as we know it is flaswe racist biassed with theories that do not cater to the facts. What we have been getting is "IF THE THEORY DO NOT FIT THE FACTS , CHANGE THE FACTS TO FIT THE THEORYa" "This has been western ontribution to hsitory 'filled with lies untruths not based on facts or truths nothing but fiction and theories unsupported by any real facts """ It is time for AFRICA TO TRULY HAVE ITS RENESCIENCE. I pray for unity in this state with neutral leanings on both sides of Sudan where semi autonomy would allow ofr the peopel to build thier own lives while sharing in the same particles of citizenry in both nations allowing for both nations to contribuite to their developments; while allowing for both countries to share in some of the rsources with the overwhelming going to both Misareya and the indegenous of Abeyei giving them a chance to live in" Love Unity Peace"
