Remember Today! The Cairo Martyrs Day!
By Justin Ambago Ramba
November 22, 2009 — Remember Today! The day many helpless refugees from south Sudan, the Nuba Mountains and the western province of Darfur lost their lives in the hands of the ruthless Egyptian security forces.
In Cairo two years ago where the Nile tells the whole story, many of our own found themselves face to face with the brutal forces of injustice at Mustapha Mahmud Square in the heart of Cairo. They were babies, young children, young men and women including the old as well. They all perished in a land long known since biblical times to have offered refuge to many including the family of our lord Jesus Christ. To escape the wrath of the Jewish king, Joseph and Mary fled with the baby Jesus to Egypt. Though these biblical scriptures would paint the picture of Egypt as a blessed land, yet there are sad parts to this claim.
Even more sad still, today the Egyptian press and media chose to remark this day by yet adding more salt to the injury by not only despising the way the Sudanese hosted the bloody tournament between Egypt and Algeria, but they went even as to abuse everything that is Sudanese thus disregarding all the songs being sung for the unity of the Nile valley.
Anyway I appeal to all fellow south Sudanese, the people of the Nuba mountains, the Darfuris and the entire marginalized peoples of the Sudan who lit the candles of remembrance for our martyrs who fell at the Muhandisin Square in Cairo to continue with the tradition even if the official Sudanese organs including the SPLM led government of South Sudan (GoSS) and its Missions abroad are scared to organise any memorial events for this massacre.

I disagree with you for spoiling the image of African nation ie Egypt, i wish you should call it “Arab security forces” because the criminal attitude of arabs Worldwide is well known.

Egypt is a country build on deception and blood of Africans, it has been rules by a brutal dictatorship called Hosny Mubarak, he rules Egypt with an iron fists, the man is cruel and has murdered many Egyptians including the recent killing of coptics.
Now as Sudanese we will not forget Egyptian creulty, they will pay one day, they killed women and their babies and take out the liver and kidneys of Sudnaese admitted to their hospitals, they called them slaves.
Egyp is a dark country in the Africa, we all know this facts, anywhere there is Arabs there is evil may friends.

Please stop lies Guys
Mr.Ambago could be right but in some extent, he could tell lies, by then when People of Egypt try to seprestise the Sudanese whom the host for more decades, we were all around and we knew what were happening.
You can not tells us to remember the days, they were killed in the war and other rebellions style or kill for freedom like other do.
If we keep psycodia things then we would be prepare.

Egyptians also insulted the dignity of the Sudanese after the terrible defeat from Algeria, they called the northerners incompetant black slaves who cannot provide security to Egyptians and threatened to send their special forces to deal with the Sudanese. Egyptians are arrogant and racists Arabs, they only know how to commit crimes, stealing peoples kidneys and liver to make money, can anyone believe that?

Dear Dr.Ambago,
am writing from cairo, you deserve appreciation for what you have written and hopefully you will continue to enlighten the rest in darkness.true to your article,black race is treated as subhuman and constantly subjected to undignified treatment. calling blacks by their colour is officially treated as NORMAL AND NATURAL here in MASRI! Even the police can call you SAMAARA,[THE BLACK],MBONG MBONGA,CHOKOLATA among others.These can be summed up as SECOND DOGS!Let the doubting thomas hear and stop doubting!
people suffer daily from racism and selective discrimination!
thanks,
Nakedu,
