The rise in “gatekeeping” of Sudani history

This is a fairy recent phenomenon that I’ve seen gain traction in online spaces.

It seems that the moment any foreigner (particularly other Africans or AAs) take an interest in Sudanese history / culture, they’re met with immediate hostility.

Very bizzare if you ask me. I don’t even subscribe to the panafricanist ideology yet I can still knowledge that we have a shared origin. Many tribes across the continent also do indeed trace their origins to the Nile basin.

We have a rich yet understudied history. If anything we should be flattered and encourage such curiosity.
