Interesting. It is funny how the USA likes to call something 'black' Africa or 'sub-Saharan' Africa. It seems to be a USA protocol, but not so elsewhere. Why is it the Africa has to be divided as such? Why is it the so-called 'arabs' get special treatment while they try to destroy the USA?

Have you ever been to Africa?
Try to visit a north African country (Egypt for example), and a sub Saharan
one (you have a couple dozen to chose from) and you'll be able to answer
that question for yourself.

Arabs have oil, and as such they're given much more latitude than others,
but that has nothing to do with Africa. The same way China gets special
treatment because of trade relationship.

Brought with north africans and I am malagasy we africans ( north | south |
east |west ) have more similitude ( culturally ,diversity and first and
foremost solidarity ) than differences ...
I think The division between north and subsaharian africa is based on the
myth of the impenetrable saharian desert

Now, let's see how many people up north will agree. Excluding Islam of
course.

Divide to conquer a simple and effective rule .

I found this racist site that shows ho Egyptians were supposed to be white, but it ends up proving that they were black and fails to explain why Egyptians did not have white skin...

Dumb crackers...

I really meant why do they get special treatment when the US could easily give the land back to it's natives and 'de-arabize' North Africa. I guess they will never learn. They are black up there too. Check the pics out, if they show...

The Tunisian pic is real, as you can see the flag on the drums.

After living in Morocco and learning about the different cultures and
people, it makes sense to me to have the phrase "sub-Sahara" Africa. In
Morocco, many citizens do not consider themselves "African". Just Moroccan..
Perhaps the countries that lie along the Mederiterran Sea that are Muslim-
plus those countries below Morocco that are also Muslim sense the ties to
their Muslim religion and culture- and do not connect to the lower part of
Africa.

(For example, a few years ago in Marrakech, I was asking about AIDS, "oh no-
just in Africa there are a lot of cases")


There are many "blacks" in Morocco - either from black slaves and mixed in
with Berbers or Arabs or pure blooded tribes and they are all blended into
Moroccans.

I did not realize it was the USA who created "sub-Sahara" but since I
discovered that phrase I see it quite often in newspapers in different
countries.

There are "bad" people, or "extremists" or "war mongrels" in all countries
and religions. It is a shame to judge a whole nation of people by the
actions of a few.

The recent bombings in Casablanca has shamed so many Moroccans who are
gentle people and are friends of the USA although they did not want Bush to
go to war against Sadamm Hussein.

They just want to made a living to eat and so much depends on tourism in
Morocco. I just returned yesterday from Fes and the Sahara Desert in
Merzouga.
Of course, there are few tourists now because of the heat.
Everyone is getting over the shock of what happened. But the police control
is tight.

Thank you for telling it like it is. From afar, many have all sorts of
theories and speculations based on wishful thinking and inadequate knowledge
of the real situation.
