A History of the Beja People,

The Beja people are an ethnic group in the Horn of Africa, found mostly in Sudan, but also in parts of Ethiopia, Eritrea, and Egypt. Most of them live in the Sudanese states of River Nile, Al Qadarif and Kassala. They are nomadic. The Beja speak Beja or To Bedawie, an Afro-Asiatic language (usually classified as Cushitic, but sometimes seen as an independent branch), but a significant number also speak Tigre, a Semitic language. The Beja contains smaller tribes, like the Ababde and Hedareb. The Beja converted to Christianity in the 6th century under the influence of the three Nubian Christian Kingdoms that flourished along the Nile for 600 years: Nobatia, Makuria, and Alodia. In the 13th century the Beja accepted Islam as the Bedouin tribes spread into Sudan and swamped the Nubian kingdoms. In the late 19th Century they were part of a Islamic revolt against a war and invasion by the Egyptian king into the territory. British troops called them Fuzzy wuzzies as Beja people have fuzzy hair, like Bob Geldof. The name fuzzy wuzzy became popular as of a poem by Kipling,. And it was they who did not like it up em in Dad's Army, when Corporal Jones used to say they don't like it up em. By 250AD, the Nubians succumb to decay, Because of believing in supporting aristo Mafia dogma, which derives all authority, That it suits all to make a system, to supply more services, control, to the richest, Axum Ethiopia overtook it, & post 350AD raids it, so split it apart, Culture, pottery, became provincalied versions of past eras,

From then, they often unite to, According too Romans, eyes in chests, headless Blemmye, NE desert nomads, Using camels, & elephants, spears, ruthlessness, That tribe did exist but eyes were in normally located heads, They raid Egypt, at one occasion stealing 25000people, Forcing Rome to leave Nubia to it's allies in 298, Subsidies Nobades, in upper Nubia, to the N of Blemmye, As Blemmye even took some of the Nile, And possibly took Nubia for a while, helping to weaken it, Nobades accepted Christianity by 600AD, The actually frizzy haired, Blemmye, too briefly, They were nothing like what the Romans said they looked, like, They were not white, they did not have eyes in their nipples, Many men would have balls of hair from this as large as huge helmets, in bushy afros, As of the style, & nature,

Herding goats & camels, cattle, In the yellow desert, spersed with some green football goal style patches, On mountain tops, And some water areas, & the odd other area in rains, using camps, of palm leaf,

Axum developed as a state on Ethiopia's 1400metre high brown plateau, And 600metre high above sea level, Cutting by many millennia's erosion valley, rivers, below it, Massively green bush, trees, in those days,

Which sometimes surround waterfalls falling hugely into cracked apart khaki cliff valleys, A Semitic black peasant women, with her young children gathers a few low calorie foods, They eat green beans, mushed in bowls, & are malnoutritioned, in their dark dirt, straw dotted floor's hut,

In the 7thC, Islam's huge mega state raids Nubia's pagan & Christian states, And many tribes like the Beja, or the Blemmye as the Beja were once known, Despite being separate of their power, also adopted Islam, With some converted locals, & settlers, Made of tribal groups, soon claiming Arab links in some cases, And building dams to store water in dry river beds, Where cattle were common, Camels helped them control routes, tolling traders,

Axum fell apart in this pressure, & other things, And lost it's coast to Muslim armies, in fights later, No E-Africa heads, were ever that progressive, Ethiopia's elite & religious wars, occurred in harmful inequality, In Legend, the holy grail, a cup that Christ drank from, Is in a Ethiopian robed monk's church, on the swarthy coloured high plateau, Rocky villages, in that land to the SW of Arabia, With symbols, or such on it's roof, & is given spiritual qualities,

Nubia's Maqurrah a Christian state, Pay slaves to Islamic Egypt for peace so no Muslims can settle it, & none of it's in Egypt, It harms both's GDP, & settles peace, Some 9thC raids came as Egypt pushes Arab raiders S though,

But as I say Muslim armies fought China in Central-Asia, Many Muslim traders go China, & merge, as the Hui; when arriving, In Jihad, W-Asia's biggest Empire, had spanned a large area, But not as much as where Islam had spread too, Egypt's Brits never pacified Sudan to end slaving, in the especially S, Killing slavers, Many villagers, slaving aristos, abhor the governor's Christianity, By 1879, the Self-proclaimed Koran's 'Mahdi', Built up angry supporters during Egypt's bankruptcy, Gaining support by touring like a religious figure, then being appointed that name by To 'rid the world of evil', & kill for faith,

Slave merchants, high taxed Arab nomads, join, & oppressed peoples, It was led like a religious order, But the leaders at time kept servants, & were quite unfair, They appointed caliphs, maybe that was monarchical in a sense, But it was part a attempt at liberation from the rule of the Turks, Some rulers were migrants from Chad, By 1883, they led Sudan, A site on Nok Society, and talking about African history

The population fell 5/5.5-2million, Between then & 1899, Mostly if famines, occurring during the war, & in raids, And caused by the war & other wars, Some helped by Britain restricting food exports from Egypt own to Sudan in war, Under it's last lordly regime,

Over a million of S-Sudan black tribes refusing to accept the efforts, And being used as slaves, died, And dying of slaving, In the actions, 0.4million Islamic/pagan knife owner, Bejas were lost, Cutting repetitively foods, with their knives, like fruits or vegetables,

Many of them being villagers of mud-huts, They are based really in the NE, Red Sea hills now, Probably a 90% fall for their population too, They had allied with the rising late on, & experienced droughts, 28000foreigners, of Egyptians, & Ethiopians, Including Khartoum's whites, which spurred European action, Were killed in the escapade,

Well I suppose you can give some of the blame to Egypt, As it's army was stoking fundamentalism, And some blame to Britain, And tribal chiefs, & Egypt fought in it,

And maybe the Jihadists had some monarchical views, certainly slaving, & such, & subjugation, It was partly caused by there being no army in Egypt, After the wheeling & dealing changes in Egypt in the 1870s, Which had been deposing rulers, The 1873 dictatorial commission chosen by Britain & France, When they were not really democracy's, had caused vacuums of power,

Which saw France in later years married to it's bonds' owners, In that land's financial interests, So not to democracy or freedom, And some deaths were caused by the Egyptian leaders invasion, & such,

So I blame Islamic fundamentalism, for 2/3, local chiefs 1/24, local monarchialism, 1/24, 1/24 on early Britain & France, 1/24 on later Britain, 1/6 on local tribes, & the rest on Egypt & Abbysinia, & Belgium, & such etc. then, Even Italy, & others, etc., Also the authorities had not been that interested when the revolt was stirring at the start, Just seeing them as provincial zealots, Maybe laughable,

I think its also fair to say that German investors, prodded by their head of state's policies, Had been calling for moves into Egypt, by Britain, & France, So you could say that Germany & Belgium's autocratic monarchical systems, But forcing the 1880s treaty which dealt the new boundaries, And encouraging the imperial moves, & companies to be for such moves, So you could feasibly blame all these crisis on monarchy in some ways, But it is certainly not the only thing to blame, republicans did allot too,

They fight Egypt/Ethiopia, & on the Congolese border, The Jihad wastes resources, but that was the aim of the state, So Brits took the upper hand from 1889, And especially started moving in after 1898, When the French's plan of damming & diverting the Nile at Fashoda,

And so ruining Egypt, Buoys stretching invasions, When the French signing a deal with the Dinka, in some cases, Then had to withdraw then after that sadly, these, aswell,

By 1899, there is British conquest, 120000Sudanese die machine-gunned, bayoneted, In specifically British battles & such at least, 20000die at the Nile's battle of Omdurman in 1898,

When the largest British them battle was, For comparatively few British deaths, as you would expect, Bayonets thrust by British troops, apparently up their bottoms, Making them flee, Like of the fuzzy haired, afros, so named fuzzy wuzzies, Actually I have stated that for before, The Brit-Egypt led new empire, Saw Egyptian subsidies, They concentrate on suppressing revolts, modernising the N, & built plantations, Tolerance rises later,

They start separating the S with it's fewer Muslims, & ways, Where they expel Arab traders, suppress revolts, massacres, And see English spoken here more commonly, whereas Arabic is spoken in the N, Upto 10000die, in suppressing these forces, The N is ruled less horrendously, where Nationalist groups are founded, Peacefuller 1920s,

In the 1870s, British Christians in Uganda, Ally spirit worshipper, 'creator God ignores humans' 2mil Bugandans king, Dead slaves are tossed away, & the rest are allowed to be buried, European explorers had reached there, just after the Arabs in 1856, They see wide orangey paths too rise's stockade 40000 capital, Past faint-green jungles, which littered at that time the S-Uganda area, Interspersed by farmed spaces, And as I have stated Arabs were trading cotton, & guns to here from 1844, Acholiland, 1 of many N states, saw Egypt slavers ruin, or puppet, & get ivory,

Trying to make them their nations, in that pre-Mahdi era, With some attempts to get Buganada's homage, & Bunyoro's, Christianity grew, as of missionaries coming, 1880s kings attack Christians, Upto 2000 sacrificed daily to cure kings, Using the old monarchist spirit healing faiths, 125000 march E, suppressing rivals, in Bugandas' growing empire, Which of course was fueled, by outlier states paying homage, It divides to war among Protestants/French Catholics/Muslims of earlier's Arabs, Pagans, They fight over who rules, Eventually the ex-king is installed by a Christian Ganda,

Brits annex, Germany ditches 1889 claims, The Ankole/Toro suffering terribly in wars, in their rat infested huts, Bunyoro land was took, & it was split up, Which became a long-term complaint of it's leaders, & others kings, were taken in too, Who like them, regularly executed 100s, 1890-6, And earlier, More N of the local Nile by 1900,

Brits annex many in like raids, Which kills for instance 1000s of canoe dwelling refugees fleeing to isles, Many of which mown down, & many drowning, Who then beat smaller revolts, And guide local king's, When pacified, the Bugandans are the key staff,

There are I predict 0.2-1million deaths, In the 1880s-90s imperial wars & maneuvers, And an extra 80000 of famine, Smallpox halves the numbers of some populations, & the sleeping sickness later,

Lets give most of the blame to Britain, & some to locals, Arabs, Germans, & Egypt, Sudan, etc., Blame it on the spirit of ruthless macho hero worship, & imperialism, And feeling superior to natives etc.,

Anyhow, in the 70s, Arab monarchies invest in Sudan, notably the largest neighbour over the water, As their dictatorial breadbasket in 1974-91, The Sudanese economy, failingly slumps from 1977, With peasants aggravated by losing supplies,

Seeing their land exporting soghurn, As they were evicted off lands, getting angry, for this sake, And it did not export that much food, And was less profitable than American or Europeans imports,

Islamic Ps grew, With the post 74, assembly weak, not as strong as the dictatorship, Riyadh allies, who were funded to become strong here, Saw it helped dictator's brutal Shari 83, It only imposed it as the regime, of evil, to the E, wanted it imposed,

And threatened aid cuts if not, And made the now in the regime, as of it's funds of them, And blackmail threats by it & other Arab monarchies, Islamist groups, They were taken to power, & forced through this policy,

The dictators were actually secular, But had been corruptly bought & see, their support weakened, As of the aid donors policies, & as of the increase in power of Islamists, So it was their fault, been Shiite to be rightist, by aid,

Conveniently the land to the E, Had been funding it's anti-Communist ways, & now that land to the E, That is proven by statements of Internet sites, & that the leaders of the land, In the 2000s, said they regretted the funds, not as of the war,

But as it opposes them, Which was recently giving aid, had seen it's policy of Sharia imposed there, So maybe & probably it caused this huge war to restart, If people said it's not fair, this is causing misery,

Then rightists would just say its still not Islamic enough, It is like when a liberal abolished a pro-racist law, The rightists then claim the next day there is no racism, there, And that if anything the minority get too much,

Even when they are poorer, & are discriminated, Or when they then claim that the left are always getting it, And if anything a Muslim, imposing Sharia would be a surprise, Like about some marriages, like between black & white banned,

When they say well, a judge who is not black, in Texas, would be a surprise, now, When there is only one black judge, & they were campaigning against black judges, So people feel non racial mixing has gone to far, & if anything racists are discriminated, So people will say, well things have gone too far, we need a rightist society,

Infact evidence states that the Riyadh state, Told it to impose Sharia, So yippee monarchy caused the second biggest war of my life time, It made the war start,

And disgusting snobbery the biggest in the late 90s, As Sharia had to be imposed, as it was their wish, And we know elitism, sickly caused the second, & other biggest too,
