Are we really africains ?

Posted at May 13, 2005 9:43 AM in Born in Tunisia .

When geographically talking about Afica, we always get that distinction between the north (Tunisia, Algeria, Lybia, Morocco, Moritania,Egypt, Djibouti, Somalia) and the bussaharain countries, other that desert separarion, there is a deep cultural wall, in fact we -north africain- speak arabic, are musulman, and hava a brighter skin, we have a certain economic development and high scholar averge, while the south still in thin progres with many ethnic and language constrates, if we spare south africa, the other black continient is still suffering from wars, poverty, diseases, ... but they are holding the core of the africain culture : darker skins, colorfull clothes, africain music (remember Alpha Blondy and Youssr 'Ndour) even in their books and magazines.

In fact north africa was like a constrated bridge between the green north and the dry south, I have been a roman cologny for centries, then turns in the hands of the arabs coming from the middle east, to get finally its arabico-islamic culture, we are more involved with middle east than with the countries of our continent.

I have always been asking myself How can I really be africain and get proud of it, that's not a meaningless debate, it's a big theme of patriotism, Being arabic and muslman are ok, but showing myself as africain is an other type of proudship, when africa is the most old land, when this country got its' special mixture of colors : we make part of Africa, we are some colors in that human rainbow.

Yes, we are Africain, we mke of that family struggling in fear in a wolrd make of powers holding our breath in constant abuse, we have not so many ressources, but our energy is gonna make a better world.

Viva Tunisie, Viva Africa, tell it to your friend with a wide smile !

في الحقيقة قضية الهوية ومقوماتها قضية حساسة وحيوية في نفس الوقت لأنها أساس ثقافة التعامل الإجتماعي بين الأفراد. فنحن تونسيين بدرجة أولى ثم مغاربيين ثم أفارقة.

ok, in the future avoid making the same mistake. You have a pretty good hand at composition but then you'll have to take heed of some obvious mistakes. Good luck!

Good day

I know that our e-mail would come to you by surprise
coming from a total stranger but i want you to read
our mail carefully so that you would understand the
reason why we contacted you.I am hereby writing to
seek for your help and assistance.

My name is george bakary the son of Late Dr bakary an ex
Mine Director of the republic of Sierra-leone. My
father was murdered by rebels of Sam Bockary during
his visit on a new site of gold exploitation and
diamond situated in 230 KM from FREETOWN, the capital
of our country. After the death of our father, the
life became very difficult for us as we were
constantly threatened by the rebels.

Considering our difficult situation, my mother
arranged with one of the best friends of my Late
father who brought us to Abidjan Cote d'ivoire. My
mother took on her all the possessions of my father
which she successfully summuggled out to Abidjan Cote
D'ivoire and lodged it in a security company for
safety purpose.The possessions contents two big metal
boxes including the sum of ( 1.210 USD one million two
hundred and ten thousand american dollar ).She told us
that She did not disclose the real content of the
trunk to the security company,She made it's content
known to them as family treasures/Valuables. Again,She
deposited the trunk with her name while I stand as the
next of kin of the deposit.

Considering the unstable political climate in IVORY
COST coupled with the fact my father have many
relationship under the region, my mother decided to
look for a partner to invest this sum outside the
country in good Profitable business,before her sudden
death in january 2003, leaving my sister and i alone
in a country where we know nobody. Presently i had all
the important documents of this deposit. I and my only
sister are in Abidjan Cote d ivoire as a political
Refugees, which we have been praying to GOD to direct
us to a good person that will assist us to retrieve
the trunk deposted in a security company here for
onward transfer to oversea for a profitable
esterblishment.
so this is the reason why we contact you.

We have in mind to give you the 15% of the total sum
for your effort input, while 5% for all your expencise
to see this transaction through.We are waiting for
your urgent response and please keep this
confidential.

We will send you our pictures and the deposit document
if we receive your urgent reply.HERE IS MY PRIVATE MAIL BOX dj_george20@yahoo.fr

Thanks and God bless you.
GEORGE and sister
