| But now, we have Sudan with the Africans in power. Just see the pictures I posted. And slavery is happening by Africans of other Africans. I have been to Africa. These domestic workers are being employed 'wealthy' people who could be any ethnic group including Africans. Mostly Africans of northern states have these domestic workers from south and rural area. Ask your friend if it is true or not. |

Lots of people are tied to their work by all sorts of responsibilities.
Lots of people can't just walk away from work because their home is tied to the job.
Lots of people put up with unreasonable working conditions.
Even in western societies LOTS of people put up with all of this.
Things that make a difference:
1. Fair conditions and contracts
2. Lots of job opportunities with freedom of movement
3. Unionisation, so workers are not alone in their fight for reasonable conditions
SLAVERY is where someone is 'OWNED'. They receive No pay, but will be paid in kind with a roof over their head and food.
All people should be FREE and EQUAL. |

Turk didn't you know that Sudan is part of the Arab League and is accepted in there because the Arabs in the North of Sudan hold the power of that country? Now if the Arab Leaue accept Sudanese Rulers as being Arab and be accepted into their Club who are you to argue with the Arab League who gave them membership in the first place because the Sudanese Northern's are prodominately Arab?

Did you see the pictures I post? They are African who speak Arab. Non-of-them Arab? Arab League is not based on ethnicity. Arab league accepted them because they speak arab and culturally they are Arab. Morroco, Algerian are not Arab either. They are berber. In fact, they have invited Turkey which has neither Arab as ethnic group, or language, Turkey is only joining as observer, not full member.

| I think you are completely wrong about Algerians and Moroccans ethnicity. 80% of Algerians are arabs and only 20% are berbers. Also in Morocco the vast majority are arabs. |

I think the problem is that there are so few posters on bantaba who live in the Gambia that local news is hard to come by probably those who post do have friends who they contact but unless they are directly affected they cannot give a picture bearing in mind that travel at this time of heavy rain is practically impossible,communications suffer problems,vehicles suffer problems people suffer problems with shortage of supplies which cannot be transported because of the rains, and so it goes on ,until the weather improves.

I have read Momomodus postings and watched the videos. I was hoping for more specific information.
Kiwi, I just find the chat about ethnicity a bit irrelevant in todays world. Does it matter?
I also think the postings about arabs border on racism, which if it were being said about another group wouldnt be tolerated.
Why cant we just accept people as people? |

Kiwi. They speak Arab. And some of people speak berbers Genetically, Berbers dominated. But culturally/linguistically they are mostly arab. There were migrants Arabs mixed with the local population during Arabization and due to the dominance of Islam and superior Arabic language, Morroco culturally, linguistically became Arab. The reason Arabic language to dominate was, trade, religion and Arabic linguistic superiority. While they speak arabic, their arabic very different from Arabic of Syrian Lebanon and Iraq. The arabs in Mesopotamia region speak the best Arabic with more vocabulary and proper grammar. It is more like Spanish Language spoken in Spain and spanish spoken in Mexico.
