“What Arab-African rift?”
2008 August 21
Heba Aly of the Christian Science Monitor explores the amicable relationship between Arabs and Africans in the northern region of Sudan – a painfully stark contrast to the genocide in Darfur. According to one African resident in the mostly-Arab area, Abbas Adam Ibrahim, “We live here peacefully and there are no problems…we live as if we are natives here. We feel that this is our country and this is our town.” Both Arab and African communities there hope together to see an end to the “politics” that ravage their country.
