لا .. لمصادرة الاراضى النوبية.. بيان هام وعاجل من التجمع الكوشى النوبى

Dear Mohamed
Salamat

I was away during the weekend

I am happy with the level of discussion and very hope
it will continue to define the boundaries between
politics and our regional interests

This is my reply to my dear friends Mannan and Abukar

It seems to be no apparent conflict between my point
and the points raised by brother Mannan in particular
but I disagree with my dear friend Abubakr

A project with such scale will hopefully furnish the
defining principle of essential services such as
education and health for the whole region from Dongola
to Wadi Halfa. When we all protested in 1999’s against
the KD, we ignored the biggest threat facing the
Nubian communities in that region, which was the
desertion of Nubians from the Nubian land merely for
the lack of basic necessities

To me, the only way to keep them living under the
current repressive government (we are really very
selfish) with dignity and looking after our
remaining heritage is to offer them the same quality
of life and public services and choices as they would
have found in shanty towns of KLAKLAT in Khartoum
air-conditioned houses in Saudi Arabia and Dubai, or
centrally heated houses in London or Washington. It
appears we are really detached from those people

Unfortunately, we are in London, Washington and else
where lucky enough to enjoy healthy life, and do
not foresee that our current regressive and
reactionary are completely absurd. The Kajbar dam at
this stage is a process, not an immanent event, and
might bring prosperity and comfort in varied ways to
those who are suffering through no fault of their own
in our forgotten land

Finally, opposing the KD without studying new findings
regarding the execution of such project can only
diminish the legacy of our Nubian elites
