'THE COSMAWA TIMES, Thuredey, December tu, 1705 Y SUDAN RIOTS -Another Example Of -Rrab-Negro By JOSEPH MacSWEEN Canadian Press Staff Writer The nakedly racial nature of the Sudan riots is seen in Lon- don as significant for all Af- ica. Africa's problems are often regarded in the context of black versus white but here is the sec- ond example this year of a country being torn by violent hatred between Arab and Ne- gro. The other outbreak in. Zanzi- bar, saw the African majority depose the ruling Arab minority in a bloody revolt but the situa- tion is different in Sudan where ' the Arabs are not only the dom- inant race politically but also far more numerous than their Negro compatriots. Racial antagonisms are far from new in Sudan which, more than twice the size of Ontario, is the biggest country in Africa and has a population of 10,000,- 000 Arabs in the north and 3,000,000 Negroes in the south. The new cry of 'Arab slav- ery" on the streets of Khar- toum, Sudanese capital, reflects the fact that the Arabs once made the south a hunting ground for slaves. BRITISH SEIURE This practice didn't end until the close of the last century when the British, who already controlled the north, seized the south to prevent French expan- sion. The British administered the country in two parts, however, and the Arab section had at- tained ater advance, educa- tion and wealth when independ- ence finally came in 1956, -Northern Arabs became the administrators of the south after independence and the Ne- groes bitterly reflected they were rid of British rule only to fall under new masters. "Also, the northern civil serv- ants went south bearing a deep arrogant contempt for southern- ers because of their backward- ness and their Christian faith," says the independent London newspaper, The Sun. Missionaries had been encour. aged to work among the Ne- groes during British rule and now there are some 500,000 Hatred Christians in the south, adding to its frictions with the Moslem north. es A rebel movement thus emerged in Sudan almost si- multaneously with independence and Gen. Ibrahim Abboud, mili- tary dictator from 1958 until he was replaced by a civilian re- gime last month kept large forces in the south to ta guerrilla war against insur- gents. Many thousands of rebels were driven for refuge to--of all places -- the neighboring Congo, itself in almost constant turmoil. The dangers of the present chaotic situation is re- flected in that the Sudan is re- ported to be a staging area for Communist arms en route to the Congolese rebels against their own Leopoldville regime. SUDAN EXTREMISTS South Sudan extremists say they want nothing less than sec- cession but many observers re- gard that outlook as disastrous for both north and south. It might also encourage racial and tribal minorities in other Afri- can countries to split away from their central governments. The new interim government of Premier Sirr el Khatem el Khalifa, 47, is regarded as inex- perienced and includes at least one Communist. Sirr, however, apparently enjoys some trust in the south and made a gesture of racial and religious reconcilia- tion by appointing Clement Mboro, a Roman Catholic, as first Negro interior minister. The last government expelled Christian missionaries. WANTED | STAMPS & COINS CANADIAN a FOREIGN We will Buy Collections, Ac- cumuletions or Dealers Stock, For o Fair evaluation of your Material.
