Culturally, linguistically and perhaps even politically yes but i'll never consider them ethnically arabs.

Sudani people to me are a people who fall into two groups, those who became Arabised and those who have MIXED with Arabs from up north.I consider Sudani people as Arabs.100% :up: :up:

:up: agree!! only by language, religion, and association have the Sudanese become Arab, without those factors they would be African.

When i went to Umrah in 2010 almost all the Arabs that greeted me asked if i was Sudanese and i replied Somali, many didnt even know what that was.
In England the Asians usually know i am Somali, i had a white girl was convinced that i wasnt black and asked me whether i was one? :) :o

Only Somalis come up with threads like this. You wont see sucha thread in any other forum. It's because most Somalians hate who they are

Most people think I am either North Yemenite(due to my Banu Hashimite lineage) or sometimes Oromo.
