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

Quote: SARCASM IN BAGGARA HUMOR Baggara people are less known for sarcasm, but still, they have considerable sarcasm even in their daily speech. Here the author is sidling some of their daily conversations. It goes, “No one more clever than Baggara people when considering education. For Baggara people, schools are places for idiots and dumb people, who sit daylong as captive audience for someone to preach them about what to learn and how to learn it and even what to do with their own life. Schools are for stupid people who cannot figure things out for themselves. Baggara people are genius; they know everything either by heart, from their grandparents, or by experience when stuck on something for long time and eventually figuring out getting around or fixing it. Baggara are not losing precious time in silly things like education, vaccinations, training, medications, visiting doctors for check-up or traveling as tourist for pleasure. Baggara never do such things. These things are either losing your money or time. Baggara have better things to do in the interest of their precious time. Baggara ingenuity shine even better when they see stupid people spend millions buying large houses or mansions in city and light them up by electricity and have running tap water. Baggara are not dumb to lose their wealth in such things. Baggara are the best in keeping wealth intact in cows head in order to show them to others as means of life prestige. They do not sell them at all and for whatever reason; they rear them and take care of them to multiple in number. More and more cows mean richer and richer. This is the best way to build wealth until you die and leave the cows head intact for someone else to take care of them. The other person rears the cows’ herd for life and keep them intact until he will die and leave them to someone else. This is a perpetuity of wealth growth. Baggara ingenuity shine even further in the mode of transportations they use. Baggara use horses, camels, oxen, donkeys or sometimes carry burdens on their own back and shoulders. The irony here, Baggara use live animals for transportations because animals do not require fuel; animals in Baggara zones graze on communal rangelands; they do not require someone to buy rations and vaccines. They rear grasses and browse on trees. If they catch diseases and some of them die still it is okay since no one stays alive forever. Baggara grazing routes are ideal for animals. Cars cannot get around in mud. And where are the fuel stations؟ They are non-existent in Baggara lands. Baggara never spend their wealth in fixed assets; if lightning struck them, the owner money is gone for no good reason. They are no insurance company to save the owner in case of disasters. Baggara are pragmatic; they know if the donkey struck by lightning and died, the owner’s jenny will give birth to another little a.ss. There is no way to give birth to a car; the car will fanish forever. Animals spread in grazing and sleeping in large space, and if lightning stuck them only a few can die and the majority survive. Baggara are super and genius people, and for that they deserve a pat on the back.
