Petition: UNESCO, pressure Governments of Egypt and Sudan to Recognize the Nubian Language

The Issue

Nubians want to protect their language and their culture and need help from UNESCO and International Community to urge/pressure governments of Egypt and Sudan to recognize the Nubian language as an official language on equal footings to the Arabic language and stop destroying Nubia by dams, displacement, marginalization, cultural cleansing and Arabization of the indegenous Nubian people.
