Sudanese facing discrimination in Egypt?!! r u kiddin me??

Question

i have a confession to make
A few months ago i beat the crap out of a sudanese guy, yes i did, u know why?
i was parking my car near ramsis street and as usual i leave my window opened, cause i thought i always feel safe in my country, then a sudanese young man came beside my window and punched me in the face, i did nothing to him, it took me a second to realise what happened then he tried to runaway but i ran after him and kept beating him like a maniac (ofcourse he didnt touch me when i beat him cause he was completely doped and also cause he found a huge number of amazing egyptian men who rescue me.
the police came and we took him to the police station where they found out he was doped and that he didnt know why he did that, they also knew later that he did that to be departed to a "better" country in europe or canada.
now can u give me opinion about that (including the guy who said we treat the sudanese badly) i want ur opinion too.

i forgot to mention that the incident affected me both physically and psychologically, i had a wound beside my eyebrow and i became scared to stop my car anywhere in my beloved country, even in crowded places.
Egypt opened her arms to them and now they commit crimes, thats what we get.
i hope this never happen to anybody else.

nobody and kalooka, thnx for ur support, actually i hate stereotyping, thats not what i meant,i have a sudanese bestfriend. but putting them in the role of victims &"accusing" us really annoyed me. the msg i'm trying to deliver is that a guest should expect good treatment if he respects the hosts.
i know i met the worst sample of sudanese and i have nothing against them, but i learnt alot from the police officers, they were like "oh God a sudanese again".
they told me that they get many of them everyday doing bad stuff to go to jail, they dont wanna be here in egypt, they want to take the opportunity to immigrate to foreign countries, they hate egypt and thats why they want to be departed from it.
let me put it this way, the world became dangerous and all of u feel uncomfortable when ur loved ones specially females r out of home knowing that they are around people who are scared of going to prison.
how do u feel knowing that there r poeple in the streets who r TRYING to go to jail?

Answer 1

I understand how you feel as a woman who has never been exposed to such a situation except by a Sudanese. I know not all Sudanese people are like that and I know there must be some Egyptian men who are not so good themselves. But I would probably feel the same way if I were put in your place.
For someone seeking refuge in a foreign country, they should behave in a better way. And I would say the same thing to an Egyptian who does not behave outside his country. And that does not mean I discriminate anybody and I agree that Sudanese refugees are not being discriminated; they get a place to live, they're provided with jobs and those who do not work get monthly allowances that are larger than the salaries of some working Egyptian people. They are not treated with any racism or discrimination.

Answer 2

There have always been mutual interests between Egyptians and Sudanese based on friendship and neighborhood. As one of Egyptian citizens, i can assure you, that the Sudanese people are generally have a positive image in the eyes of Egyptian throughout the years, and they are known to Egyptians by their kindness. Needless to say that there are exceptions in every aspect of life including my last statement. As "Nobody" said, that was a single tragic incident that happened months ago, and it had very negative effect on Egyptians more than you think, people protested and nearly all the press condemned what happened from the police brutality at that day. A brutality which the Egyptian police has no discrimination about it in dealing with opposers and protesters, it just turned "more" tragic because there was violent exchange of fighting. Anyway, Egyptians are far from racists. If there some violent incidents happened against some Sudanese in backstreets of Cairo, then i think it's because anything but racism. Violence has become more common (statistically) than before, and it's because different kind of reasons, although i believe they have one origin at the end, anyway, i didn't witness a violent act in Egypt because of being black or Sudanese.

Answer 3

Firstly, I would like to express my deep sympathy with you. I totally understand the physical and psychological suffering you went through.
However, I am addressing the puriest part of your conscience not to hold a grudge against a whole country by the stupid deed of one person.
I know that none of what you said implies any meaning of hatred for the Sudanese people but I just want you to isolate this incident from your feelings for our southern brothers.
If , and I am sure that this not what you feel, you let this thing control your feelings , you would be making the same mistake the west is committing. They judge the whole muslim population by the deeds of a few extremiests.
We should rise above our feelings. Egypt has always been a land for all races and ethnic backgrounds.
I repeat my apologies for what happened to you, and I hope this incident doesn't stop you from having good feelings for the Sudanees.

Answer 4

First-off, I'm going to answer the question on your title. Yes, Sudanese people are facing discrimination in Egypt, even you who asked the question know that in your heart. The fact is that they are being treated as foreign objects because of their race and language difference. After all you are African too, and I'm sick and tired of Egyptians trying to prove otherwise..be happy with where you're from dammit. But hey, this doesn't allow you to mix 2 completely different subject just randomly like that. If you are here to complain about a doped Sudanese who beat you then go ahead..you'll get our sympathy. But DO NOT mix that with the fact that he was being discriminated in your country. Besides he was doped, and I'm definitely sure that if he was a doped Egyptian or any other person for that matter you wouldn't have even mentioned it. Therefore you have no right to say that since he beat you up while he was wasted ..so it was a mistake since he wasn't thinking properly. And remember its the Egyptians who killed Sudanese people a while ago in the country. So I don't think you can blame him for his actions, and the Sudan is facing a lot of problems at the moment so being departed might have been the solution to his problem since Egypt only made things worse with their racial reactions. I am Sudanese and this is my personal point of view.

Answer 5

What happened to you is a single incident that can happen to anybody across the world, and the attacker, being Sudanese, doesn't assist your point of view in proving them criminals, not by trying to prove the contrary to the previous Asker (the one who claims discrimination).
Sudanese people are the finest, ask someone who lived among them, ask someone who knew the majority of them, however, Sudan is passing through the darkest hours and i hope they get through this chaos soon. Sudan's security and peace should be a National Security issue.
And if we - Egyptians - had to make friends and dual partnership with other neighbour country, then it should be Sudan.
Yasmine, I m really sorry for your tragic incident and i hope you get over it soon. Alf Salama.

Answer 6

first i'm egyptian here :)
i would like to tell you that what happened to you could have happen to anyone, egypt is not that safe place you just have a beautiful thoughts , they r no longer exist, then you need to know that those sudanese are not all bad, they are human, just like you and me, egyptians can do more than this guy did to you, the problem is not in sudanese, te problem is in humanity, are we no longer human!!!

i hope you get my point
may allah bless us all

Answer 7

this is horrible egypt has always been a very good host for all races and all countries immigrants
i agree with the answerers here that you should not hate all sudanese because of that man but you are absoloutly right about feeling bad after this accident. i agree with you that we should be afraid to go out , when there are people who want to commit crimes to go to jail
hadelle why are you defending that psycho man? i bet she dont need your sympathy, and i didnt see her asking for your sympathy at all and since you feel that the sudanes are being discreminated in Egypt, and you feel ok that they hurt a girl like this, why dont you support them and get them back to sudan? why dont you provide them with shelter and food so they dont need to stay in other countres? no offence but what if this happened to you would that be your opinion? maybe you feel that way because yasmin is egyptan and you donnt care
yasminne dont feel bad and dont listen to her,i hop you get better soon

Answer 8

i really sympathize with you..
i have nothing new to say.. the above answers did mine justice... that u shouldnt generalize it on all sudanese ppl (not that u r) and this could have happened ANYWHERE to ANYONE by ANYBODY

by the way, the question abt discrimination in egypt pissed me of as well..
again, i share my sympathies..

Answer 9

dont worry and feel ok about what u did because if any one was in your shoes would of had done the same thing :)
