It is the truth those filthy raw meat eaters don't belong to Africa and on top of that they are oppressing the native people of the land the true cushites. Time to liberate the horn from them. Kkkkkk

African americans need to learn that they dont even like when their history is stolen from them lol
I am not talking about Greek Ethiopia term, but the ancient Ethiopia was modern today Sudan. Abyssinia/Axum were current Ethiopia. Current Ethiopia leeches on ancient Sudan 'history.

Which ancient one then im not sure which one you mean?
If you mean like the cush in the bible there is not a certain map for where it was, some say india, some say sudan, some say sudan and ethipia, some say all of horn some say egypt etc
I think u mean that one?
Simple Google search will answer your question. However away from bible the cushite kingdom was in current Sudan
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingdom_of_Kush
But this is somebodys own work and google search shows so many different boundaries?
But anyway,Kush was Sudan, if that was the same as the bible cush who knows
We should not take the news lightly that old Kush/Cush has returned.
The Kingdom of Kush was established in about 1070 BC. The first cultures arose in Sudan before the time of a unified Egypt. Now, days before a new Egypt emerged on February 11, 2011, a new southern nation in the ancient land of Kush/Cush has appeared on the horizon on February 7, 2011.
The Kingdom of Kush
While the newest governmental change in the world today is the new Egypt, the newest full nation also was announced on February 7, 2011.
Due to the vote for independence, the citizens of southern Sudan voted in overwhelming numbers to break away from the northern portion of their country and form a new entity. While it may not formally have a new name yet, other than press reports calling it South Sudan, Sudan's President Omer Hassan Al-Bashir accepted the final results of the referendum where southerners almost unanimously voted (by nearly 99%) for the secession of their region. South Sudan will be declared an independent state on July 9, 2011. This new land is very reflective of the ancient country known as the Kingdom of Kush.

The Kingdom of Kush, like Egypt, is ancient and dominated by smaller
pyramids and familiar artifacts.
Kush
Egypt
The Kingdom of Kush or Cush was an ancient African state centered on the confluences of the Blue Nile, White Nile and River Atbara in what is now the Republic of Sudan. It was one of the earliest civilizations to develop in the Nile River Valley. Having also been referred to as Nubia, and as "Ethiopia" in ancient Greek and Greco-Roman records, the Kushites left their mark on various aspects of the ancient world and their legacy is still readily discernible from the various archaeological field sites scattered throughout modern Sudan.
Biblical Prophecies of Cush
The name given this ancient civilization issues from the Bible's Old Testament, where Cush (Hebrew: כוש) was one of the sons of Ham (Genesis 10:6) who settled in northeast Africa. As noted in the Bible and at different times in the ancient world, a large region covering northern Sudan, modern day southern Egypt, and parts of Ethiopia, Eritrea, and Somalia was known as "Cush."
The Hebrew Bible refers to "Cush" on a number of occasions, though various English translations translate this as "Nubian", "Ethiopia", "Sudan", and "Cushite" (Unseth 1999). Moses' wife, Tzipporah, is described as a Kushite in the book of Numbers 12:1. Some contend that this Cush was in southern Arabia. All of this is complicated by the fact that the Septuagint translated "Cush" as "Aethiopia," leading to the misleading conclusion that "Cush" should be equated with the borders of present day "Ethiopia."
Sudanese Christians in southern Sudan believe the independence of their nation was foretold in the Bible more than 2,000 years ago. Isaiah 18 is one of several passages that refer to the land of Cush, which describes the people as tall and smooth-skinned and the land as divided by rivers.
"It used to be read so many times on Sunday," said Ngor Kur Mayol, who drove to Nashville from Atlanta earlier this month to vote in the independence referendum. "It mentions a lot the way we were suffering in for so many years and how that same suffering, we're going to end it today, to vote for independence," (according to the Associated Press writer Travis Oller).
The interpretation is not so far-fetched, said Ellen Davis, a professor at Duke Divinity School who has been working since 2004 with the Episcopal Church of Sudan to strengthen theological education there.
"There's no doubt that Isaiah 18 really is speaking about the people of the upper Nile," she said. "It really is speaking about the Sudanese people."
Davis said the belief in the prophecy is nearly universal among the Christians she has met in Sudan.
"In general, Sudanese Christians believe to a much greater extent than mainline North American Christians that the Bible speaks to current events, specifically political events," Davis said.
Jock Paleak, pastor at the Sudanese Cumberland Presbyterian Church in the Nashville suburb of Gallatin, explained how Isaiah 18 has been interpreted to refer to independence.
"The Bible says when they will raise their flag on the mountain, the whole world will see."
Isaiah 18 concludes with a passage Paleak said predicts the end of rule by the Muslim north. He paraphrases and explains it: "'They will bring their gifts to the mountain of Zion,' which means we will be free to praise God in our own way in our own land."
