Even Zahi Hawass doesn't argue with the accuracy of the image, just the findings (he's wrong). As I wrote up top, wait until the first week of December, for my films "Rameses: Wrath of God or Man?"

Since four of the Afroasiatic tongues, Arabic, Hebrew, Coptic, and Syriac, are also respectively the languages of Islam, Judaism, and two sects of the Christian faith, the language family reaches many millions in addition to its native speakers. The Afroasiatic family is divided into six branches: Egyptian, Semtic, Berber, Cushitic, Omotic, and Chadic. According to one theory, the languages of the Afroasiatic family are thought to have first been spoken along the shores of the Red Sea. Another theory holds that the language family came into being in Africa, for only in Africa are all its members found, aside from some Semitic languages encountered in SW Asia. The existence of the Semitic languages in W Asia is explained by assuming that African Semitic speakers migrated from E Africa to W Asia in very ancient times. At a later date, some Semitic speakers returned from Arabia to Africa.

Extractions: Nearly all Tunisians (98% of the population) are Muslim. There has been a Jewish population on the southern island of Djerba for 2000 years, and there remains a small Jewish population in Tunis which is descended from those who fled Spain in the late 15th century. There is no indigenous Christian population. Small nomadic indigenous minorities have been mostly assimilated into the larger population. ...

There is no reliable data on the number of practicing Muslims. There is a small indigenous Sufi Muslim community; however, there are no statistics regarding its size. Reliable sources report that many Sufis left the country shortly after independence when their religious buildings and land reverted to the Government (as did those of Orthodox Islamic foundations), leaving them no place to worship. Although the Sufi community is small, its tradition of mysticism permeates the practice of Islam throughout the country. During annual Ramadan festivals, Sufis provide public cultural entertainment by performing religious dances. There are also 150 members of the Baha'i Faith. ... [

Extractions: Optimistic images of Sudan have come and gone in recent decades, whether as a potential grain producer for the Middle East in the 1960s-70s, or as an oil exporter in the late 1970s and early 1980s, leaving behind an unwieldy and impoverished assembly of peoples. After the televised publicity for the "Live Aid" famine in 1985, the western media view of Sudan is probably little different from that of a century ago - as "a quarter of a continent of sheer squalor" ( With Kitchener to Khartum , by GW Steevens) - and the civil war is portrayed as a struggle between an Islamic "Arab" north and a Christian or pagan "African" south. These simplistic perceptions do not assist an understanding of the real plight of the Sudanese people, nor do they contribute to a resolution of the war. This report will highlight the processes at work in several geographical regions, illustrated by case studies from the north and south of the country. Wealth from the south and other oil-providing regions such as Southern Kordofan, and the mineral deposits of the Red Sea Hills and Ingessana Hills is monopolized by central government for its own ends. The bargaining between the political elites of the regions and the centre has obscured the ethnic antagonisms and struggles over environmental resources which drive the war at a deeper level. South v South Long-established personal, tribal, ecological and political rivalries between different groups in the South have always been exploited by northern-dominated governments, especially the current one. Traditional enmities and tactical allegiances have enabled the government to arm particular ethnic groups as militia, or to escalate disputes between the pastoralist Dinka, Nuer and Shilluk.

Extractions: Credit: Phil Cox As the Sudanese government and rebel Sudan People's Liberation Movement/Army (SPLM/A) inched closer to a comprehensive peace deal, observers said the chasm between the north-south accord and east-west discord appeared to be growing ever wider. Opposition groups at the east-west extremities of the country complained of exclusion from the peace accord. For them, this simply reinforces the marginalisation they say they have felt for years. A year-long, full-blown conflict in the west between the government and rebels in the Darfur region is gathering momentum as prospects for a deal approach. And now rebels in the east, who have hitherto been relatively quiet, have threatened to re-mobilise unless they are included in the peace process. Regional analysts point out that there is a growing sense of regional identity among diverse communities sharing the same experience of marginalisation. Justice Africa, a UK-based think-tank, notes that eastern Sudan, along with Darfur, are among the most neglected regions of the country and have the lowest proportion of people holding positions in the central government.
Sudan The Muslim Peoples Sudanese saw the Jaali as primarily indigenous peoples who were gradually Nearly 60 percent of people included in the West African category were said to http://www.country-studies.com/sudan/the-muslim-peoples.html
Extractions: The Muslim Peoples In the early 1990s, the largest single category among the Muslim peoples consisted of those speaking some form of Arabic. Excluded were a small number of Arabic speakers originating in Egypt and professing Coptic Christianity. In 1983 the people identified as Arabs constituted nearly 40 percent of the total Sudanese population and nearly 55 percent of the population of the northern provinces. In some of these provinces (Al Khartum, Ash Shamali, Al Awsat), they were overwhelmingly dominant. In others (Kurdufan, Darfur), they were less so but made up a majority. By 1990 Ash Sharqi State was probably largely Arab. It should be emphasized, however, that the acquisition of Arabic as a second language did not necessarily lead to the assumption of Arab identity. Despite common language, religion, and self-identification, Arabs did not constitute a cohesive group. They were highly differentiated in their modes of livelihood and ways of life. Besides the major distinction dividing Arabs into sedentary and nomadic, there was an old tradition that assigned them to tribes, each said to have a common ancestor. The two largest of the supratribal categories in the early 1990s were the Juhayna and the Jaali (or Jaalayin). The Juhayna category consisted of tribes considered nomadic, although many had become fully settled. The Jaali encompassed the riverine, sedentary peoples from Dunqulah to just north of Khartoum and members of this group who had moved elsewhere. Some of its groups had become sedentary only in the twentieth century. Sudanese saw the Jaali as primarily indigenous peoples who were gradually arabized. Sudanese thought the Juhayna were less mixed, although some Juhayna groups had become more diverse by absorbing indigenous peoples. The Baqqara, for example, who moved south and west and encountered the Negroid peoples of those areas were scarcely to be distinguished from them.

Extractions: Sudan is a religiously mixed country, although Muslims have dominated national government institutions since independence in . Accurate figures are unavailable due to poor census data and the last 2 decades of civil war, but most estimates put the Muslim population at approximately 65 percent, including numerous Arab and non-Arab groups; Christians at approximately 10 percent; and traditionalists at 25 percent. Muslims predominate in the north, but there are sizable Christian communities in northern cities, principally in areas where there are large numbers of internally displaced persons. It is estimated that over the last 40 years, more than 4 million southerners have fled to the north to escape the war. Most citizens in the south adhere to either Christianity or traditional indigenous religions (animists); however, there are some Muslim adherents as well, particularly along the historical dividing line between Arabs and Nilotic ethnic groups. The Muslim population is almost entirely Sunni but is divided into many different groups. The most significant divisions occur along the lines of the
