د. النور حمد لمحمد لطيف: نحن لا نختلف عن ارتريا وتشاد واثيوبيا في موقفنا من "العروبة"

Quote: the first experiment by black Africans in creating an African language capable of serving modern political, philosophical and scientific needs will probably be based on its use. Perhaps over 20 percent of the basic vocabulary of the language comes from Arabic-including the name of the language itself and much of its political vocabulary (like words for "president" [raisi], "minister" [waziri], "law" [sharia], "department" [idara], and "politics" [siasa]). The growth of both Swahili and Hausa may provide a good model for future relations between the Arabs and black Africa, for they have been enriched by Arab culture without becoming enslaved by it
