SUDAN Culture, Food, Music, Lifestyle | Amena and Elias

[@samiraa3671]

The Sudanese food and culture seems very similar to that of Somalia as well. The attire, henna, tea with milk, small injera like bread which they call anjero, laid back culture, etc. I think that all Islamic/Arabic countries have a lot in common, but also the East African countries, regardless of religion, share similar cultural traits to some extent. By the way, that outfit and the color looks really nice on you. And we are missing your hubby. Keep the videos coming. You guys always brighten my day. ❤️

[@Imayebrook]

Somalia is farrrr from Sudan and stip the cap, y’all don’t eat injera. It’s not anjero u need to have teff in injera. 🤦‍♀️

[@oneafrica5363]

I'm somali 🇸🇴 really i like sudanese people and their songs specially nada's song Any way one love all africa.

[@zoyaeats1634]

Hi Amena! My family is from Pakistan and we have many similarities to what you described. We also drink tea with milk, do henna, and have various breads that go along with our stews (salans) that we eat with the bread. And of course we eat with our hands as well :) Much love !!

[@Happypotato917]

Zoya Butt we do that in Ethiopia it’s very normal to drink tea with milk but we drink it at break fast

[@Happypotato917]

Mey Siddig good to know we Ethiopian do it at the morning

[@hardenbedd865]

Hello Zoya. I love Pakistani foods. Sometimes I love it so much, I tend to be very careful not to eat the plate that came with it. I grew up in Sudan from the age of 7 years old to 13 and moved to the USA. I love Sudanese people to the core. I love their culture, food and hospitalities. What Amenia mentioned on the video, it is all True and more.

[@lobsterbalelegesse9919]

This similarity came from the original Arabs 👳🏾‍♂️when they spread the Muslim faith.

[@rinoray1214]

lobsterbale Legesse actually arabs have completely different culture.

[@nafihabe4544]

I’m glad you made this video because I feel like most people don’t know about Sudan I definitely learned a lot thanks yes make a part two I need to be educated about Sudan 👏👏👏👏 Ethiopian+Sudan 💖💖💖

[@freshforreal2302]

Me a Sudanese person watching this: "Hmm... Very Interesting" My parents take no time out of their days to teach me about my culture so here I am. Lol

[@genetgebremariam6535]

Hi Amena and Elias, I am a proud Eritrean that was born in Khartoum , Sudan. I miss it like no other. Bamya(orkra stew) and foul are one of my favorite dishes, including mahlahbeeya(no auto correct for that) and the sweets in Sudan cant be out matched. They say if you need an accountant, make sure he is Sudanese; a testament to the people. My childhood was rich b/c of my Sudanese neighbors. #onelovetomypeople

[@nami3359]

this video almost made me cry. thank you so much for making this. I'm half Sudanese, but i feel like I've started to lose my roots.. all the topics you mentioned sparked memories from my childhood visiting my relatives. so now I'm sitting here and sniffing on a piece of bakhoor ^^

[@idaf3028]

i'm half sudanese too! my father is kenyan

[@winnieb983]

Hey Amena , you are looking beautiful in your toup .this was a great video please make a part 2.i am also Sudanese from South Sudan I realized that south and north Sudan have most of the same traditions also I can’t wait for you to make a video on wedding festivities,Sudanese weddings are so beautiful and unique I love it.

[@stxrkilla]

I really hope we finally unite again 🇸🇸🇸🇩love from the north sudan

Thanks Amina for spreading the love between Sudan Ethiopian eretria we are one people divided by history ..

[@saramokonen3296]

Your so right Sudanese people are the most hospitable people that I have come across to so far. I also love the Weddings henna and the Tobe. Sudanese make the best Tea/ fool. I love and miss Sudan so much and the people.

[@dolphins3291]

10:58 - Yes!! In Jamaica we call this plant and drink "sorrel." 🖤💚💛 Traditionally, around the end-of-year holidays, we make this drink with fresh ginger & brown sugar....mmmm...🇯🇲 🇯🇲 😊😋😋 Also, our Senegalese friend calls it Bissap. We find it in Latin-American grocery stores under the name "flor de Jamaica" (Jamaican hibiscus flowers). We love these cultural story-times on your channel. Irie!

Good to see you amena where's Elias Sudan have good culture I am from the Gambia leaving in UK I have too Sudanese friends they're good people?

[@theerihalimo]

sudanese people are legit known for being the most welcoming! Love yall

[@breakthroughmoment1647]

Well done! Thank you. Love these cultural videos. I met some Eritreans visiting from Germany and their jewelry was stunning! That 22/24k gold is gorgeous. There’s nothing like it. Even some of the more expensive jewelry here looks mass-produced. Hospitality says a lot about a culture. I’ve been places where the people didn’t even offer you a glass of water, after walking to their house, parched and out of breath (on a hot day!). SMH. Sudan sounds like an interesting place.

[@godisgreat8538]

Hi Amina im eritrean. I love Sudan people. They are really nice and very kind. All z past 30 yrs war time, all in the hardest time they were on our side. Thanks alot as the behalf of Eritrean people. We were safe in Sudan. I wish peace and prosperity to Sudan😍

[@cosmicwisdom999]

So in Jamaica, the Hibiscus plant we use it to make a drink call Sorrel drink, we add ginger or rum or red wine depending on who makes it..

[@pihlaalanen1349]

I just wanted to thank you, this helped a lot with my school presentation. Your culture is very interesting. Greetings from Finland

[@AmenaandElias]

You’re welcome!

[@Landofthefree8]

Sudanese people are the nicest people in the world

[@seblesemu1073]

Hi Amina you are so cute lovely girl

[@HamrawitሐምራTube]

Sudanese people are my favourite East Africans next to Ethiopia of course 😀 They are very hospitable, kind, musical and beautiful inside out. We love sudanese music in Ethiopia too especially Mohammed Wardi, may he rest in eternal peace 🙏🏽 Most of all, sudanese ppl love and respect Ethiopians, its all mutual. Amina 💚

[@malditalysene8183]

I'm from the Philippines and I have lots of Sudanese friends. One of the best people in the world. Very kind, calm, generous and very laid-back. I love food and drinks from Sudan. Helamour, Baobab, and Hibiscus. Ahabba Makan Watani Sudan.

[@victoriabryan8448]

PLEASE DO A SUDANESE WEDDING VIDEO, I’m not Sudanese, but I just love learning about a culture that is often overlooked in the West

[@kush-boy6443]

People in Moritania also they have culture like Sudan. Women-Toob, Man -Jallabia:

[@idkwhothisis6617]

South morocco has it too

[@whocares7339]

Hi Amena!! I'm from Yemen and OMG we have a lot of similarities I mean a lot☺ I love it, I remember when I was in middle school I had a teacher from Sudan and he was super nice☺

[@ferdoses6608]

Hey Amina, I'm a Sudanese woman and love your videos. I have seen Mauritanian women wearing taub as well!

[@joetigo2928]

This is the Sudan they don't show you in the media. Keep up the good work and use this platform to promote the beauty of African countries and their cultures.

[@mossleoka9279]

Greetings to you, Amena. I thoroughly enjoyed this video about Sudan. I'm a South African writing from Johannesburg. I wanted to say that most of what you say about Sudan is typical of most of Africans. Things like eating together, eating with our hands, and so on. Although most people in the cities have abandoned most of those practices. The sound that you say Sudanese women make during traditional ceremonies like weddings, you find all over Africa. We call it 'ululating' here. I look forward to more videos about Sudan.

[@GWorld-92]

I'm a filipina married to sudanese, went also to sudan once and people are so nice. Even though they always say i'm chinese or korean 😅

[@hardenbedd865]

Hello Amena. Sukren ya suker for all that you said about Sudan. I am from Eritrea and I was in Sudan from the Age of 7 to 13 years old and move to USA afterwards. I had good times there. I speak Sudanese Arabic fluently. As you mentioned on your video. I 100% agreed with all what you said. I also belive Sudanese people are very hospitable and Sudanese Foul the best in the whole world. I have tried many and they all kneeled down to Sudanese Foul. Thank you for sharing, Ya suker. Yosef

[@kokkestapper4025]

Sudan people is perfect 👌

[@BlubberInJeKontx]

I really wonder where that yelling during weddings comes from? I always thought it was a Cameroonian thing because we do that same yelling during our weddings. I've heard Congolese people and north africans do it during their weddings as well.

[@fromafricatotheworld]

Western and eastern lowlands of Eritrea have more or less similar cultures to the Sudan. As a citizen of Eritrea and having lived in the western lowlands for some time, I did not feel like a stranger in the Sudan. Food, weather, music and all is similar to my country. I picked up some Arabic while I was there and back at home. I enjoyed sleeping outdoors which is also common in Eritrea, eating one of the best ful I ever had. Shawarma and sheya served outdoors is also amazing which is something that I can't forget. And enjoyed the laid back nature of Sudanese people, their music and etc. Can you please send a link where you buy your Bhukoor incense in the US? I miss the Sudanese smell...Thanks for your video Amina!

[@samuelll7189]

Beautiful video Amena!♥️ Thanks for teaching me about my homeland!

[@fadhilahemed3968]

I love the fact that I know all the food you mentioned.... My dear sister from another Mr is sudanese, MashaAllah she is heaven sent... Alhamdulillah for her. We met in a foreign country, we became sisters... Am from Zanzibar by the way...

[@YT4Me57]

I enjoyed learning about Sudanese culture. Here in the United States, we don't get true images of Africa and the depth of its beauty in its peoples. Yes, I would love to learn about weddings. I know that they are huge in many parts of the world! I would also like to learn about the Ethiopian alphabet, as it is so different from that used in most western nations. A series based on that alone would be so interesting and enlightening to me. Thank you.

I love this and thank you. An amazing Gentleman named Mohammed from Sudan picked me up in medical transport . I will be picked up Wednesday by a Mohammed but I won't know until tomorrow if it is the same man. Many driver's are Somolians. I don't think I will ever forget him for so many positive reasons. I remember he said he lost his father recently and I said he isn't actually gone because you have qualities that I rarely see and he is still part of you.
