Book History of the Beja tribes of the Sudan Contributed by Aida Kidane, 03 Mar 2004 A. Paul 1953 Britain p64 Chapter VII The Arab Infiltrators At some time in the 9th cent A.D. there began a slow and by no means a continous process of infiltration by Arab tribes, never at any time of great proportions, yet sufficiently pronounced as to result eventually in all the Beja peoples becoming Moslem. The earliest arrivals were not however Moslem, and are said to have been a fragment of a Himyarite tribe which came by way of Red Sea from Shihr in Southern Arabia and settled among the Beja of the Atbai and Sinkat hills, intermarrying with them, and acquiring predominance partly by virtue of superior culture, and partly by reason of the matrilinear system of succession in vogue among them.... Their arrival prior to the Hegira is well established, for they are later spoken of as Jacobite Christians who were converted to Islam only after the appearance of Arab invaders from Egypt in the 9th cent.

top Your browser does not support script Monday 7 June 2004 Search 'Sudan: A future without War?'- IRIN Web Special on the prospects of peace in Sudan S UDAN: Opposition groups from the East and West complain of exclusion Rebel forces preparing to respond to government attacks Credit: Phil Cox As the Sudanese government and rebel Sudan People's Liberation Movement/Army (SPLM/A) inched closer to a comprehensive peace deal, observers said the chasm between the north-south accord and east-west discord appeared to be growing ever wider. Opposition groups at the east-west extremities of the country complained of exclusion from the peace accord. For them, this simply reinforces the marginalisation they say they have felt for years. A year-long, full-blown conflict in the west between the government and rebels in the Darfur region is gathering momentum as prospects for a deal approach. And now rebels in the east, who have hitherto been relatively quiet, have threatened to re-mobilise unless they are included in the peace process. Regional analysts point out that there is a growing sense of regional identity among diverse communities sharing the same experience of marginalisation. Justice Africa, a UK-based think-tank, notes that eastern Sudan, along with Darfur, are among the most neglected regions of the country and have the lowest proportion of people holding positions in the central government.

AfricaPundit HOME ARCHIVES BIO Email me! ... Southern Cross Thursday, April 01, 2004 These "fairy circles" in Namibia are really cool. (Sorryyou'll have to follow the link to see the picture.) Their origin is still unknown, but they remind me a lot of these "crunchy donuts" in Norway: In remote regions of the Arctic, Antarctica, and the Australian outback, an explorer can trek across bleak, uninhabited landscapes only to suddenly stumble upon ground decorated with weird patterns. These lonely sites feature ankle-high and meter-wide donuts of gravel; mazes, stripes, and polygonal networks of pebbles, sand, or ice; and sometimes ice crevasses in perfect geometric patterns. The enigmatic configurations, seemingly created without human influence, call to mind the mysterious phenomenon of crop circles, except that the puzzling structures are made of rocks or ice instead of trampled corn or wheat. The patterns are believed to be formed by the interaction of soil and water under the influence of the freeze-thaw cycle. They may take centuries to develop. I don't think there's much of a freeze-thaw cycle in Namibia, but there may be some analogous dynamic process that's causing the fairy circles.

The Head Heeb « Good News from Palestine, part 7 Main Inheriting a headache » March 25, 2004 Sudan is a mess With the southern Sudan peace process moving in fits and starts and the western Darfur conflict turning into a major human rights calamity , observers are now warning that fighting may also break out in the eastern ash-Sharqi province. Ash-Sharqi is the home of the Beja people (the "Fuzzy Wuzzies" of Kipling fame) who, like the inhabitants of Darfur, are ethnically distinct from Sudan's Arab population. A rebel movement exists among the Beja which has "hitherto been relatively quiet" but has "threatened to remobilise unless they are included in the peace process:" Observers warn of simmering conflict in the eastern region, particularly by the indigenous Beja people - who are Muslims but not Arabs - and whose grievances are essentially the same as those faced by the Darfur rebels. The Beja say there has never been any sign of the government in their area - basics such as education and medical care have been completely overlooked. The various groups making up the Beja are represented by the Beja Congress which is a member of the Asmara-based Sudan opposition grouping, the

Each aspect of a language poses a unique set of problems. This confines us to producing material by population size. Spoken Language - There is a problem with dialects, pronounciation and the availability of qualified people to teach the gospel. Also, a single written word can have several meanings depending on the tone used to pronounce the word.

1. What and Where is Nubia? 2. Geography and Environment 3. Nubian Peoples C. The People: Ancient and Modern Ethnic Groups of Nubia. 1. Who are the modern Nubians? The "Nubians" are those who either presently speak dialects of the Nubian language, or who trace their descent from these people. The Egyptian Nubians are called Kanuz; the northern Sudanese Nubians from the Second Cataract to the Third are called Mahas; and those in the south, in the vicinity of Dongola, Sudan, are called Danagla. Before the spread of Islam into the Sudan, about the fifteenth century, Nubian-speaking peoples occupied a much larger area, including the land southwards up the Blue Nile. Their descendants live there still, but today they speak only Arabic. 2. Who were the ancient Nubians? In ancient times people probably identified themselves, as they still proudly do today, by their tribe and their way of life. Some were tillers of the soil and lived along the river in permanent settlements; others were nomads, who lived in the deserts on the fringes of the Nile and moved constantly about with their herds in search of new pastures. Traditionally, the settled farmers have always been hostile to the nomads, whose herds ate or destroyed their crops, and the nomads have always been hostile to the farmers, who controlled the richest lands and the best water. Tension between these two peoples has existed for millennia, and their struggles would have comprised the major annual events in any period of Nubian history.

Sudan: ETHNICITY Language Language differences have served as a partial basis for ethnic classification and as symbols of ethnic identity. Such differences have been obstacles to the flow of communication in a state as linguistically fragmented as Sudan. These barriers have been overcome in part by the emergence of some languages as lingua francas and by a considerable degree of multilingualism in some areas. Most languages spoken in Africa fall into four language super stocks. Three of themAfro-Asiatic, Niger-Kurdufanian, and Nilo-Saharanare represented in Sudan. Each is divided into groups that are in turn subdivided into sets of closely related languages. Two or more major groups of each super stock are represented in Sudan, which have been historically both a north south and an east-west migration crossroad. The most widely spoken language in the Sudan is Arabic, a member of the Semitic branch of the Afro-Asiatic language family. Cushitic, another major division of the Afro-Asiatic language, is represented by Bedawiye (with several dialects), spoken by the largely nomadic Beja. Chadic, a third division, is represented by its most important single language, Hausa, a West African tongue used by the Hausa themselves and employed by many other West Africans in Sudan as a lingua franca. Niger-Kurdufanian is first divided into Niger-Congo and Kurdufanian. The widespread Niger-Congo language group includes many divisions and subdivisions of languages. Represented in Sudan are Azande and several other tongues of the Adamawa-Eastern language division, and Fulani of the West Atlantic division. The Kurdufanian stock comprises only thirty to forty languages spoken in a limited area of Sudan, the Nuba Mountains and their environs.
