There
is no true refuge in this world, without power and without authority. Power
means that others keep submissiveness to you, and heed your whims. To have
power, is to have a standing in society. To be in society is to have a place
between those above you in rank and prestige and those below you in rank and
prestige. To be outside this society, to not belong into it, is to have no rank
or prestige in it, to be below the lowest in rank and prestige.
In the beginning, they mock you. Then, when you
are impervious of their mockery and steadfast in determination, they fear you.
And then, they attack you with whatever they can.
They hate everybody, because they hate
themselves. They attack everybody, because they attack themselves. They attack
what God has given them, by denigrating it in words, by covering it up in a
façade of something else. They make black skin white, they may kinky hair
straight, they make coquettishness Islamic and devoid of charm. They are
defeated, because they assist their enemies in their defeat, by charging the
offense, not on the enemy, but on themselves.
God made the Jalläba a people of defeat, a
people of cowardice, a people of treason, a people of submissiveness; who soon
know their master; when their master is covetous of their land and Nile, he
takes their country; when their master scolds them, they are silent and fearful;
their master needs not break their will, as their will is broken, and they are
always at the mercy of someone else’s will.
Kush, Darfur and South Sudan would sooner look
to a brighter future, when the cream is removed from the fodder, when the
Jalläba – save the non-conformists and the misfits – are tossed into the Nile,
or banished to the Libyan Desert. They will not be missed, and Kush would be
unimaginably better off without them.
