--The great irony is that the Afro-Asiatic Language Family to which Eto makes reference,emanates from south of Khartoum and the confluence of the Blue Nile andthe White Nilethat flows from the Rwanda-Burundi-Uganda region.
Ehret (2019) considers Omotic to be the starting point of the Afro-Asiatic languagefamily. See his Harvard lecture "The Africanity of ancient Egypt."
Omotic speakers are at the intersection of South Sudan,Northern Kenya and Southwest Ethiopia.

Subject: RE: USA Africa Dialogue Series - The African Diaspora and Higher Education in AfricaPlease be cautious: **External Email**
--This last comment regarding "Arabs and Arabised North Africa(ns)" should be disregarded as an overgeneralized, bigoted statement. It is a win/movement forward to recognize the North and Northeast; as we seek to deconstruct earlier foreign divisions of the continent that originally created racial hierarchies to their advantages. To recognize and lessen the impact of such historical constructions and address them is much need.

Subject: Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - The African Diaspora and Higher Education in Africa
Dear Prof Falola,
Thanks for the effort but let's leave out Arabs and Arabised North Africa(ns) from any Diaspora and Africa-based journal and research. They are racist supremacists who have always looked down on black people since the Trans-Saharan slave trade.
Arabs and their Afro-Asiatic cousins only identify with black Africa for political, economic, diplomatic and other gains while fomenting religious crises everywhere as the internecine violence and wars in Mali, Chad, Niger and even Nigeria, show.

Oga Falola,
Tell the AU to endow a special fund to support what I call model continental journals, which would be edited rigorously and advised by mixed panels of both Diaspora and Africa-based scholars. There should be five or six journals--one each for the humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, the arts, technology and engineering, and medicine. This should be a ten-year experiment, after which, should it prove successful, editorial control should be turned over completely to Africa-based scholars and the model should be replicated in regions--West, Central, North, South, and East Africa--by the subregional bodies. Also, if the model is successful, individual nations with a critical pool of diaspora scholars can domesticate it and establish their own model national journals. Finally, the philosophical thrust of these journals should be an explicit accent on the production of useable, instrumental, and Africa-centered knowledge--that is, knowledge that illuminates the African condition and/or ameliorates it. In other words, such journals should combine rigor and relevance.

Here is an idea (not sure if it falls in the paradigm of being "great", and not sure if it is not too late for this conference): but kindly let folks know, if they don't already, that the Diaspora influence in higher education in Africa has been so minimal (almost negligible). Nigeria is my region of focus here since I don't possess adequate knowledge of what entails with Diaspora folks in other African countries. As highly trained and endowed as Africans in the Diaspora are, and as influential in higher education, especially in the Americas, as they are (for instance, hardly is there any major - or even minor, degree awarding institution in the United States where Nigerians are not present as high-level faculty or administrators), one would expect a correspondent high-level presence of cooperation between the African Diaspora and the home base. Why are there no such actively coordinated joint efforts (not just scanty individuals) in higher education of Diasporeans in various African countries?

I write from Addis-Ababa where I am for a major conference on the African Diaspora and higher education in Africa. If you have great ideas, I will be sure to pass them around and make them part of our discussion.
