OP are you Egyptian? You tend to talk about Egypt an awful lot…
North Africans in general don’t see Somalis different from any other Black person and that entire region is literally a hell-hole for all Black people (natives or not)
…but when it comes to Egypt, the crazy level of hatred they have
specifically for East Africans and Sudanese is wild. They get physical and violent over there, don’t even get me started on if your a Black female (I remember hearing about a Somali women being tortured over there

). I’ve seen Egyptian Nubians, a group that is treated as 2nd class citizens in their OWN country, get targeted and hate crimed because Egyptians thought they were Sudanese or Ethiopian!? Even threatening to “deport” them to Sudan. Egyptians will openly admit this to your face, and some are very proud to be a bunch of racist pos.
East African or not, the stories I’ve heard about being Black in Egypt are terrifying.
This is why I don’t understand why some Somalis are always in the frontlines for North Africans when it comes to chronically online discourses like Hoteps and the indigeneity of North Africans, stuff that doesn’t concern or affect us. It’s even cringier seeing Somalis try to force a relationship with North Africans, a completely foreign group of people.
Wheeew sorry but I had to get this out!
