Your source was that they were here in the 11th century, and I told you countless times that other foreign groups were in Sudan for longer so that doesn't mean anything. As for the elder I'm sure you have some cousins in or near Omdurman that can ask a Zaghawa on your behalf.
Source for the 11th century? I didn't provide a source for the 11th century. I did provide sources for Zaghawa residency during antiquity.
My cursory reading of their history was that they had been there since the 11th century; I delved deeper and it turns out that they had been there since antiquity -- and you certainly didn't refute it with your cute litle story about an oral tradition that you provided no evidence for -- much as your faulty memory would like you to believe.
Can you even take back Abyei?
Oh, we'll take it all back; even under ideal conditions, it takes at least a decade for military reforms to bear fruit, and that necessary program hasn't been embarked upon by the likes of Salva Kiir.
Malakal was always Shilluk territory, but let's not act like your leaders wouldn't give it to the North in exchange for some mansions in Khartoum.
The Shilluk, who settled in Upper Nile near present-day Malakal probably at the end of the fifteenth century, did so after dislodging the Funj from their original home in the region between Tonga and Muomo. (Sudan, Abdel Salam Sidahmed)
Every time you offer your ignorant little takes on Sudan's history, you reveal not only the extent of your ignorance, but how proud you are of it.
You're slow, that was a response to your comment on other Nilotic groups voluntary leaving Gezira while the Dinka were an exception.
Says the person that thinks that referencing an apparent conversation they had with some old man trumps two written sources.
Here are more sources on this particular matter:
Weather patterns had reverted from the previous centuries and this region now witnessed severe droughts, and, according to the Funj Chronicle, hit the Gezira during the reign of Badi II's nephew, Unsa walad Nasir. "It was he during whose reign there appeared the year of 'Umm Lahm'. That was a year of famine, and of a plague of smallpox. It is said that the virulence of the famine was such that people ate dogs."(Sudan's Blood Memory: The Legacy of War, Ethnicity, and Slavery in South Sudan)
Thus, drought in the latter seventeenth century is well documented in Sudan; it appears, once again, that more Dinka clans were forced to flee the Gezira both because of drought and war in search of their extended families at the Junction of the Nile and Sobat rivers and beyond. (Sudan's Blood Memory. The Legacy of War, Ethnicity, and Slavery in South Sudan.)
So does Sudanese Kafia not have uranium?
You mean the area that belongs to South Sudan? The area that Ibrahim Abboud annexed to Darfur -- setting the stage for the actual date of the first Sudanese civil war?
Yeah, it does have uranium and copper.
The ongoing gold rush is well documented, and here's a paper on some other metals. This is backed by the UN and other organizations:
Whoopty doo, Kapoeta has gold as well and that's in addition to all the other resources that South Sudan has.
Oh my goodness, this is like me asking you who told you to rape Nuer women and destroy non-Dinka refugee camps like savages?
It would actually be a fair question, because one has to take responsibility for their actions; my questions were more than fair; no one told you to annex Southern territories; no one told you to renege on every peace Agreement you ever signed...
No one told you to fund terrorists and become a State sponsor of terror; no one told you to start wars in Darfur, Kordofan, Blue Nile and Eastern Sudan as well.
No one told you to unleash Arab militias to rape Fur, Masalit and Zaghawa women.
That's all on you.
Please seek mental health.
Projecting, again.
Tell us more about the mental health condition of a person that would speak of putting conditions on the residency of an entire ethnic group that has resided in Sudan since antiquity.
Yeah, not exactly a picture of sanity (or morality) there.
You continuously denied uttering such an immoral position, which shows that you're more than a little insane.
Maybe if you didn't chimp out by starting an unnecessary war then we can call it a 55 year head start but it's 5 and we're 20 years ahead of you.
Oh, so you people didn't spark the 1956 mutiny by massacring Southern workers that had peacefully protested against the termination of their services just months prior?
You've had more than half a century head start; no childish excuses will remove this fact -- especially when your actions sparked the wars in the first place.
You could have had peace in 1972, but you had to take disastrous counsel from the Arabs in the Gulf and Egypt.
What was it that Nimeiry said? I believe he said that the 1972 Peace Agreement was not as holy as the Quran or Bible and that he didn't need to adhere to it.
Not to mention you'll never leapfrog us, especially since you're a landlocked country so everything will be more difficult and expensive for you.
The current trajectory of the EAC will reduce or remove the costs associated with using ports in East Africa.
And your place is being our maids and laborers while your Nilotic cousins fight wars for Arabs and our generals reap the benefits.
At least that intolerable situation could conceivably end if or when economic conditions improve.
Your issue is much deeper than that, and is likely to persist for much longer. It's essentially a mass mental affliction.
The inferiority complex of Sudan toward the rest of the Arab world is a sight to behold; the extent to which you people continuously prostrate towards them is pathetic.
Does your country even have medical students? Maybe if it did then you wouldn't beg your enemies to come solve your healthcare woes.
Hmm, still bragging about the 55 years that it took you to get here? The point is that your medical students were putting the Arabs above themselves -- a predictable product of your inferiority complex.
Hopefully. We'll focus on much larger markets like the gulf.
Good, make the leash they have around your neck that much stronger and tighter.
You might as well, because they practically own you in every other regard; that leash that they drag you around with is clearly very much cherished in Khartoum.
