Now, after 2700 years from that great battle to rescue Jerusalem, Nubia is under attack by the Arabs and Islamists who are working vigorously to wipe out Nubia from the map systematic Arabization, marginalization and by building series of dams which has no any economic or social feasibility. The proposed dams and those underway in Kajbar, Dal, Al-Sheraik and Merowe, that latter has been built few years ago with a huge and irreparable damages to archaeological sites. The government of Sudan is building those dams without the consent of the local population, and knows that it will loose millions of cubic meters of water through evaporation which will be deducted from Sudan's meager quota and the rest will go to Egypt from all these dams. Sudan will benefit little from these dams in generating hydroelectricity which will be more expensive than the electricity imported from Ethiopia's Renaissance Dam. The alternative from solar energy is also much cheaper and environmental friendly in an area known by its direct sun rays throughout the year.

Nubians need an urgent international help to stop this catastrophe before it is too late. It is unfair to ignore Nubia's contribution to woman/mankind history. This puts a moral obligation on all:

1. The UNESCO which led the first international campaign to salvage Nubian antiquities must initiate a second international campaign, much bigger than the first one to stop the construction of these destructive dams, at least till all Nubian lands are thoroughly excavated and all archaeological sites are rescued.
2. The Africans, the African Americans have a bigger responsibility in protecting their history and identity. It is shameful and outrageous seeing their artifacts and monuments being destroyed and they keep silent and helpless.
3. The Jewish Community all over the world, State of Israel and the Christian world must remember who rescued Jerusalem from Assyrian annihilation in 701 BC and reciprocate that favor.

The Rescue of Jerusalem: The Alliance Between Hebrews and African

"Kharab" Soba! Nubians deserve reparations for it Many readers may not be familiar with the Sudanese popular proverb: " Kharab Soba" which means" the devastation of Soba", the capital of Aludia "Alwa" the last Nubian Christian Kingdom south of Khartoum in 1505 AD. Just 500 years ago, an alliance between the Arabs and the Funj tribe overran Soba and destroyed it, killed its men and enslaved women and children in one of the most brutal tragedies of Nubia. Nubians of the Alwa (Aludia) dispersed all over Sudan and Africa, like Midob, Birgid,and Ajang in Nubia Mountains, and some went southwards to Shiluk and Lou in south Sudan, Uganda, Kenya and Rwanda and some went to far west of Africa to Ashanti in Ghana while some remained in the mainland of Kush along the Nile Valley where Their artifacts and historical monuments remained. Nubians need to reunite their ranks, rewrite their languages, history, folklore and rich culture. Nubians who incurred devastation and destruction deserve reparation from the Arabs who demolished Soba and raised it to the ground, massacred its men and enslaved its women and children . If this genocide happened in the recent times it would have been widely condemned and described as a horrendous genocide, Nubians should claim reparations from the Arabs who invaded Nubia and destroyed its land and claim protection to their historical sites by the international organizations such as UNESCO. Let alone returning all Nubian artifacts clustered in the Sudan National Museum to their original land in Nubia so that Nubia can benefit from tourism generated revenues.If all regions of Sudan are claiming for their share in power and wealth, then Nubians also deserve the revenues generated from their historical treasures. We suggested to the members of the International Society of Nubian Studies (ISNS) in the 11th and 12th International conferences in Vienna and London to adopt our proposal of building "baby" museums in Nubia to host some of the Nubia artifacts and monuments and suggested that the international museums hosting Nubian artifacts to make an initiative towards building those "baby" museums in Nubia and make replicas of the Nubian artifacts scattered outside in most of the prestigious world museums and help in returning back the smuggled treasures to Nubia. Who will take the first step?
