Great that you know that. These Arab states shouldn't even be allowed in institutions as the au. African governments should cut off contact with the Arab imperialist and stop allowing any migration from them. Same thing that's happening to Palestinians, Arabs are trying to do to sudan.
What truth, when this museveni has stuffed all top ministries and institutions with his own henchmen and tribes men, 😂😂. I wish he practised what he preaches
@@oscaredu2579 I'm not a fan of Museveni by any means, but regarding Sudanese, Mauritanians, Somalis, and Chadians, some Malians, and some Egyptians, they are Black, not Arab. He's calling out the White Arab Supremacy of North Africa.
@@bodosam7798 this man is a pathological lier, isn't it true that he is prepping his son muhoozi to succeed him, isn't it true that all his family works in top govt jobs n offices, look at that scandal of Uganda Airlines where he hand picked one of his relatives to head the airline even when she was under qualified, look at his wife as a minister, his son in law, n most of his clans men are heading all govt institutions. Now who is more tribalistic, or practicing politics of identity, use yr brain son 🤔
Most people from the North of Africa don't want to associate themselves with Arab nations. They don't want to be part of the rest of Africa but somehow they want AU to recognise them n trade with them. I think it makes them feel superior
@@arfenmalik1717 They have a totally different History to sub-Saharan Africa that is based on large part on semitic interchange (as it is in Ethiopia) - that's just facts. If you (as Americans) don't know African History ... well, that's your problem!
An Arab is a person speaking Arabic as his native tongue. Sudanese are definitely Arab by that definition. Sudan has been under Egyptian influence/control since the 7th century, the same time Egypt was conquered by Arabs and Sudanese have since lost their pre-Islamic Nubian, Nilotic languages. Sudanese speak only Egyptian Arabic 100%. Museveni's point here is senseless. By your definition, English people are not Anglos, since Anglo Saxons were Germans and the English language is a Germanic language replacing the ancient Celtic languages (almost extinct). Whether they are black or brown doesn't matter. By the way, many are not quite black from what I see. But definitely they have black/sub Saharan African heritage, particularly the hair, body shape, skull shape, face, teeth etc. By Museveni's definition, Syrians, Lebanese, Palestinians, Iraqis, North Africans wouldn't be Arabs either because they all had now extinct languages, but no one believes they are not. There is some Berber identity among some Algerians and Moroccans who have preserved their Tamazight language but they exclusively speak Arabic at home. I know and see all these, not as an Arab myself but because I am living in the Middle East for two decades at this point.
That is not true my friend. Original Arabs are black men. Over centuries with mixing with slaves their physical appearance changed. You can find many Arabic ancient text documenting the phenotypes of Arabs. As well as there are many black pure Arabs in Saudi, Yemen, Oman, and many other numerous countries in Africa
You are wrong Sir. Arab doesn't mean colour. It means nations that speak Arabic as their first language. Just like Europe it's not based on Land but based on a joining or being a part of union just like the soviet. A person can be based in African Contenant and yet be part of the Arab union because of their language.

So, you should ask the Chinese government how a country can become part of China?

He is the only power in Uganda which makes him (and his son) the only truth in Uganda. That can get dangerous in that region. He also knows nothing of the History of the Sudanese who have fought many peoples to maintain their Arab faith and culture and who are literally called in the North Sudanese Arabs (or Blue Arabs) and have Semitic DNA admixture to various degrees.
He Was not mocking them, he was making a point of a black person taking being Arab as better than being black, and that's the reality in Sudan, Mauritania and other countries with people who look black, but would rather identify with Arab identity. Nothing wrong with that, but they don't seem to accept diversity and secularism.

An Arab in the linguistic sense is simply any peoples who speak Arabic e.g. Egyptians, Iraqis, Syrians, Sudanese (none of whom are ethnically Arab i.e. descended from the Adnan & Qahtan lineages). This creates significant confusion for those who are not aware of this distinction.
Going by that logic, Arabs Should Call themselves African.... Not vice versa. Indeed Africa is the mother of all humankind. ( Can you wake up now ???? )
Ahahaha doesn't make sense identifying yourself as an Arab when you are black is stupidity. Because the real so called Arabs segregate you are treat you differently from the so called white Arabs. Muhammad himself even said if anyone tries to call me a black man "kill him"
Ahahaha funny answer. Sudanese are a cross breed and black same with somalians nothing Arab about them. Common denominator is the Islamic religion imposed on them by Arab slave masters period!! They should be proud if their bla k ancestry!!
If you had Anglo-Saxon (or other indigenous) DNA that would make you English - Sudanese Arabs have proportionally more semitic DNA than Nilotic or Cushitic (or other ... Bantu, Niger-Congo, ...) - that makes them (as they call themselves) Sudanese Arabs. They are also culturally Arab.

@@EsaguJohnson But that is just true linguistically. that’s how arabs see it. that’s how they’ve always seen it. Why North africans are also considered arab when they are ethnically Berbers. Using your rational against commonly understood facts is pointless. Arab is a linguistic identity.
Shaykh ‘Abd al-‘Azeez ibn Baaz (may Allaah have mercy on him) was asked: What is your opinion on the call for nationalism which believes that belonging to a race or language takes precedence over belonging to a religion, and these groups claim that they do not oppose religion, but they give nationalism precedence over it. What is your opinion of this call? He replied: This is a jaahili call, and it is not permissible to join it or encourage those who promote it. Rather it must be put an end to, because Islamic sharee’ah opposes it and rejects it. We should refute their specious arguments and claims with that which makes the truth clear to those who seek it. Islam is the only thing that preserved Arabness in language, literature and culture. Rejecting Islam leads to destroying Arabness in language, literature and culture. Hence the daa’iyahs should strive their utmost to call people to Islam just as the colonialists are striving their utmost to destroy it. It is a well known principle of Islam, that no Muslim has any excuse for not knowing, that the call for Arab nationalism or any other kind of nationalism, is a false call, grave error and blatant evil; it is a bad jaahili attitude and a plot against Islam and its followers. That is due to many reasons that we have explained in a separate book entitled Naqd al-Qawmiyyah al-‘Arabiyyah ‘ala Daw’ al-Islam wa’l-Waaqi’ (Criticism of Arab Nationalism in the Light of Islam and Reality). Fataawa al-Shaykh Ibn Baaz (4/173). This book is published in its entirety in Fataawa al-Shaykh Ibn Baaz (1/280-318). The Shaykh (may Allaah have mercy on him) also said: One of the greatest of evils and follies is to compare Islam to Arab nationalism. Does nationalism that is devoid of Islam have any characteristics that qualify it to be counted among the ranks of Islam? Can there be any comparison between the two? Undoubtedly this is the gravest insult to Islam and a denial of its principles and wise teachings. How can any sound mind compare between nationalism and Islam when, if Abu Jahl, ‘Utbah ibn Rabee’ah, Shaybah ibn Rabee’ah and other enemies of Islam were alive, they would be among the most prominent supporters and greatest proponents of nationalism, whereas the proponents and supporters of Islam in every time and place are Muhammad the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), Abu Bakr al-Siddeeq, ‘Umar ibn al-Khattaab, ‘Uthmaan ibn ‘Affaan, ‘Ali ibn Abi Taalib and other Sahaabah, the supporters and heroes of Islam, and those righteous people who followed their path? No one would justify comparing nationalism of this ilk, with these men as its supporters, and a religion of such standing, with such supporters and proponents, except one who is deranged, or is a blind follower, or a bitter enemy of Islam. The one who makes such a comparison is like one who compares dung and pearls, or Prophets and devils. The one with insight who ponders this and examines the facts closely, will clearly see that comparing nationalism and Islam is more dangerous to Islam that the comparisons mentioned above. Moreover, how can it be valid to compare nationalism, the fate of one who dies following which is Hell, and Islam, the destiny of one who dies following which is the victory of abiding close to the Lord in an abode of honour? O Allaah, guide us and our people to the Straight Path, for You are able to do all things. Fataawa al-Shaykh Ibn Baaz (1/320, 321). These are two useful answers from the Shaykh (may Allaah have mercy on him) about the comparison between Arab nationalism and Islam. The second answer contains the ruling on one who compares between them, and says that he is deranged or a blind follower or a bitter enemy of Islam. The one who knows nothing about the status of nationalism may be excused, But if a person is ignorant of Islam and believes that some other religion, system or principle is better than it, he is undoubtedly a kaafir. Thirdly: If we examine the second scenario, then we will see that the questioner has spoken ill of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) by making this comparison, and the respondent has spoken worse ill by answering this foolishness, which is kufr in and of itself, because it is undermining the status of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and speaking ill of him. What the Muslim must do is venerate his Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and support him, and protect him against everything that may offend him; he must also honour him and respect him. Allaah has stated that this is one of the characteristics of the believers, and He has enjoined it on the Muslims. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): “So those who believe in him (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم), honour him, help him, and follow the light (the Qur’aan) which has been sent down with him, it is they who will be successful” [al-A’raaf 7:157] “Verily, We have sent you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) as a witness, as a bearer of glad tidings, and as a warner. 9. In order that you (O mankind) may believe in Allaah and His Messenger (صلى الله عليه وسلم), and that you assist and honour him (صلى الله عليه وسلم), and (that you) glorify (Allaah’s) praises morning and afternoon” [al-Fath 48:8,9]

The President of Uganda is mistaken. There is no such thing as a homogeneous black race. We all come from different origins. For example, the Nubian, Cushitic (like the Beja, Somali,and Afar),Fulani and Tuareg are distinct both phenotypically and culturally from the Nilotic peoples like the Dinka, Nuer, Fur, Gambela, and Kwegu. Additionally, the sons and daughters of Arabs or nomads from the Middle East who came to Sudan and married indigenous Africans are Arabs and nothing more. They are Africanized Arabs, not Arabized Africans, and have a unique heritage and culture. They are also noticeably distinct phenotypically, if you have a keen eye, and they wish to preserve their unique identity just like the rest of us.To label them as ignorant, deny their unique identity, and impose a narrow identity upon them while painting their rich and diverse heritage in black and white is not only disrespectful but also harmful. Their vibrant culture encompasses a spectrum of languages, traditions, histories, and beliefs. Reducing it to a simplistic binary ignores its complexity and significance, leading to a distorted narrative that fuels division and tension instead of fostering understanding and unity. Respect for their heritage requires recognizing and celebrating its nuances, allowing them to define their identity on their terms. The term 'black' is an arbitrary label used by Westerners who are too lazy to learn about the diverse peoples of Africa. Only the ignorant use such a term, and like the President of Uganda, they trivialize the various Sudanese peoples by oversimplifying their identities.What a wonderful display of african diplomacy.
As a Sudanese, I've said this numerous times to people I've met around the world, Sudan is the most diverse country on earth, yet it's divided. Unfortunately, we've not learned to coexist with each other. You have Sudanese Arabs (considered black around the world) see darker Sudanese as inferior, they even call them slaves. I identify as black whose mother tongue is Arabic. I was born and raised in Darfur, where more than 300k people were killed during the civil war, I was a kid back then, some of my relatives and my innocent friend, who taught me how to play cards, were slaughtered in that war. My parents are very accepting and never cared or asked anyone about their tribe, I adopted this mindset growing up. I got lucky and traveled around the world, and because of my background, I hang out with Africans cuz I'm black, I hang out with Arabs cuz I speak the language, I hang out with Asians and Muslims cuz of Islam, I hang out with whites cuz I speak English. It's so wonderful to be accepting and see everyone as a human in just a different color.
You are not serious with your comment, when the Truth is being said, let's stand by it, irrespective of where it's coming from, are the Arabs not corrupt, the Americans, Europeans? Let's liberate ourselves as Africans from this task masters, using their economic and religious power to enslave us.
North Africa countries originally are not Arab, before Islamic Calivate, They were speaking other languages, but now they speak Arabic, they say we're Arab. Some parts in the Gulf panansula live black people they're originally from there. If they come to African we Africans don't eccept that they are Arab because they are black kkkkkkkkk
Arab means someone who was born in Arab culture and speaks Arabic, he/she can be White, Brown or Black. Also, an Arab can be Muslim, or Christian or Jewish, or atheist. It is NOT a race. The term Arab is like the term American, both mean the same. You can be of any race, of any color, of any religion, but belong to that culture and language. Uganda's president does not seem to comprehend that.
Huh!? Arab is a BLOODLINE, not a culture! Muslim, is a RELIGON!!! BLACK, is a color...There are HAMETIC Africans, and SHEMETIC Africans!!! We, are NOT related at all!!! Black Arabs, enslaved Shemetic African's before the Transatlantic Slave Trade! You all forgot about that, be we haven't! Maybe this President hasn't!? 😮
They are black people who suffer from Identity crisis. They were conquered by Arabs in the past were forced to convert to Arab religion Islam so centuries later their children imagine they are Arabs and that being an Arab is special
Arab - Ethnolingustic group. Black - Skin color. Not necessarily mutually exclusive. Would have expected someone like an American to be confused with geography and race relations but an African saying this is unsettling.
Anti-Arab rhetoric was created by French Colonists in Africa out of fear Arab presence and its (at the time) shared culture power Arabian Empires of the Peninsula. In order to keep Arabia from aiding African countries in preventing European colonialism, French and Anglo-Saxon colonist introduce Anti-Arabism into African communities in order secure their imperialism over them. We know this to be true because Anti-Arab animosity didn’t begin until the 1900s, under French and Anglo-Saxon rule and was virtually non-existent prior. Anti-Arab and black African nationalism rhetoric are a byproduct of European settler colonialism, created to secure European imperialism over them.
I agree. I don't think the problem is "misuse of identity" but more like the post-colonial africans lack of understanding the importance of ethnic and religious identity. There's no way a neutral state with different ethnic and religious groups can survive. They tried it in Europe (Yugoslavia) and it simply didn't work unless you have significant unifying factor. Ethnicity and religion are two major stones that are used to build foundation for stable ethnic nation. Without that you will be more busy trying to keep that state together rather than developing it. Even Museveni himself appoints members of his own ethnicity in high government positions. Damn it why is it so hard for african to understand this?
@@showa546 Africans in large part don’t misunderstand this. This man is an authoritarian dictator Christian extremists who believes in killing people for being gay and likely introduced the use of child soldiers in this region. He’s insane.
@@user-hp6ux5lf7p he betrayed Gaddafi by allowing the west to use him as a proxy and convince Gaddafi to destroy weapons of mass destruction in exchange of lifting all sanctions against the west which was a trick also Museveni viewed Gaddafi as a threat due to his ambition of united Africa Museveni was not of the idea he even blocked Ugandan traditional rulers from visiting Gaddafi after Gaddafi had requested all African traditional rulers to meet him and discuss the way forward on the united Africa this is after Gaddafi helped Museveni get into power invested billions in Uganda and gave support to his country when needed hope you get the picture
He is not wise at all. He think every black people is African. This not true. The problem of this old men is he hurt Islam religious that why most of times he talks about Arabs.
The Western countries tried to do that to the Chinese people. They refuse to accept Chairman Mao as the leader of China , wanting a Chritianised Chinese like Chiang Kai Shek to rule and placed an embargo on trade .That caused massive poverty and starvation resulting in what is belived 20 to 30 million deaths. The Chinese people are around since the dawn of human civilisation with our own belief system of Heaven(god to others), Earth and Humans( Teachers or Guides to us and Prophets to others).I believe traditional African believe systems would be similar.
You are wrong Sir. Arab doesn't mean colour. It means nations that speak Arabic as their first language. Just like Europe it's not based on Land but based on a joining or being a part of union just like the soviet. A person can be based in African Contenant and yet be part of the Arab union because of their language.
Really - what about the massacre of Manchu and subsequent massacre of Hakka and Cantonese that occurred by them and their Han allies (Manchu and Han who were supported by Europeans) at the turn of the last Century. The starvation of Chinese during the cultural revolution was solely attributed to the policies of Mao. Are you here to rewrite Chinese History? The Chinese people (like the African people) have never been a monolith and have had many internal conflicts that have caused the deaths of millions. You can't rewrite History to fit with the innate prejudices and world-view you have internalised in your head (even though good communist/socialist-cadres are trained to do that all the time).

@@johnlane23lane3 guess your into child human s*crafice and all the SA/SV/CSA that happens in his country 🤷🏾♀️He was a pioneer! His cabinet likely introduced child soldiers to Sudan and Dafur! You’re so cool for agreeing with an authoritative dictator with a history of g*nocidal rhetoric and advocating for the legal execution of people “suspected” to be gay. Another win for the Westerners! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
To be an Arab it doesn't depend your color. Arab is not DNA. There's no father or forefathers who called them Arab. Arabism is culture, customs, language etc. If you have same culture, custom, and language with the rest of Arabs, then you are Arab. When we use this logic, the Sudanese are Arab.
If Mr Museveni does what he is speaking Uganda would have been better than USA.look at the tribalism in all Uganda organs: President:West, police:west,updf:west,Ura:west, prison:west etc and prime minister is also coming from west
