Cush Pyramids
Pyramids of Sudan

"Very few people know...that there are more pyramids in SUDAN...than in Egypt. Kola Boof wants you to know. Here is Naima Bint Harith (Kola Boof)...her country and her people."

 

 

Kola's house

"Kola Boof was born on the Nile River literally..in this house in Omdurman."

 

 

Sudanese Man

"Kola's Pappuh Mahdi (father) was an extremely lightskinned Arab-Muslim from Egypt. He "purchased" Kola's mother for marriage (which is normal in African society-men pay a marriage dowry). Kola's mother was a Blue Black Gisi-Waaq of Somalia's Oromo nomads, her name was Jiddi and she was the daughter of her tribe's Chief…Princess Jiddi was fourteen when she married archeologist Harith Bint Farouk. Because neither of Kola's parents were Sudanese, the author is often criticized about it…and asked by "Arab Northerners" to call herself Egyptian-Somali instead of Sudanese. But Kola Boof was born in Sudan! She is Sudanese!"

Though Western Media portrays the Arab Ruling Population in Sudan as being fully "Black Arab," there is a huge population of "White Arabs" that American and European television never show. Two of Sudan's top writers, for instance, are the White Arabs, Leila Aboulela and Jamal Mahjoub.

 

The photo below shows movie actress, Angelina Jolie, meeting in Sudan with an Arab coalition comprised of ruling class Sudenese, Egyptians and Saudi Arabians, which are all groups that finance Sudan's "Black Arab militias." Angelina Jolie, by the way, was there to speak out against these practices

Francis Bok with President Bush

Heroic former slave Francis Bok (pictured here with President Bush) has written an extensive account of being captured and enslaved by Arabs in Sudan.  His bestselling autobiography "Escape from Slavery" (pictured below) graphically details the North African slave trade...as well as the genocide and mass killings that have become commonplace in Sudan during the civil war.  Kola Boof has read the book and considers it to be a masterpiece.  You may purchase the book by clicking on either photo.

"Kola Boof worries that male Cousins she left behind in Sudan...may no longer be alive. Black men in Sudan disappear and die at an alarming rate. Ex-slave, Frances Bok, tells of being abducted by Arabs on horseback when his mother sent to him to the market for food. He now lives in the United States, but he never saw his family again.

Camels of Sudan

"These are the bikes of Sudan-Camels!"

 

 

The Priestess
"The Priestess."

 

 

"Sudan is littered with not only an over abundance of pyramids-but also the grand palaces of Nubian and Cushite Kings."

 

 

The King's Wife

"The King's Wife--a Portrait."

 

 

Model, Alek Wek

"Sudan's most famous woman-the supermodel Alek Wek-is a true reminder of the royal beauty of ancient Cush and Nubia."

 

 

"Black men in Khartoum search for jobs...they are hardworking, honest men...but the Arab Muslim ruling class makes it nearly impossible for African men to get decent jobs. They try to destroy the African man and his family."

 

 

Men of Sudan

"Men of Sudan are hardworking, ebony-smooth pretty men…they speak many languages and know much about their past greatness, but they suffer the humiliation of a minority Arab Muslim government that oppresses the true African peoples."

 

 

King's Palace

"Here is another of the great palaces of Sudan's ancient glory."

 

 

Queen Nok

"The legendary Queens of Nubia and Cush were known for their beautiful midnight black complexions, large high rear ends and full, catepillar-thick lips. They were also some of the world's first great singers and dancers. Amazingly spiritual women."

 

 

 

Sudan's Children

"Today…the glory of Nubia and Cush has been replaced with a Sudan torn by social divisions based on religion..colorism and education. This is why Kola Boof is so worried about her country. Since 1978…the Northern Arab-Muslim government of Sudan has funded militias of Arabs on horseback who go out and abduct Black African Christians from the Southern Nile…usually, the men are shot in the head…killed…and the women and children are then made into slaves. Kola Boof's father spoke out against this and was killed with his wife Jiddi for it."

 

 

Kola Boof's brother

Kola Boof's "tima-Kar" (soul brother)...a full black Egyptian from Upper EGYPT.

 

 

 

Boy's Fishing on the Nile

Kola Boof is praying…that there will someday be not only peace and freedom for the Black Africans of South Sudan..but she is hoping for the colorism and oppression inflicted by the Arab-Muslim northerners to come to an end. Kola believes in "Africa for the Africans!"

 

 

Kola Boof Holding Bowl

"Kola Boof is but one face…from a nation of millions. Each one different and unique."

 

 

Land of Pyramids

"SUDAN…the land of the Pyramids, the land of the Blue Blacks, the land of the Nile. Kola Boof's heart."
