Saudi Arabia. Pt 8 of 15: The Oldest Black Neighborhood in Riyadh and The African School
Vložit
- čas přidán 14. 06. 2020
- Al Ud, is one of the oldest black neighborhood in Riyadh, vast majority of its residents are being relocated to a new area in Riyadh.
The African School is managed and run by the Guinean "Conakry" Community of Riyadh - Zábava
I am an African American and I know nothing about Africans living in Saudi Arabia. This video has been very enlightening. I was most impressed with the children, these wonderful children. I do hope that opportunities will begin to open up for these children so that they can fully participate in their country, Saudi Arabia. If this does not happen then Saudi Arabia will squander the opportunities to benefit from the great gifts that these children can give to the Saudi Society. Thank you for sharing this with me and the world.
@@bobbyhemmitsnippets3673 false, please don't spread these misinformation.
@@eypu999 it's TRUE the first arabs were black ...plus the first guy who used to say mwathini in mosques was a black person bt tht doesn't mean a thing we all equal..
@@afrikanakevs Arabs aren’t black. We are not white either.. Arabs are Arabs and you can’t deny our race. Arabian tribes are one of the purest ancestry they never married outside of their tribes or similar ones for thousands of years. Yes we have African Arabian tribes and African Saudis who don’t belong to a tribe.. But around 70% of Saudis are pure Arabs who have no connection whatsoever with Africans in terms of DNA at least in the last 10 thousands years..
@@bobbyhemmitsnippets3673 mate, I'm saudi and my family comes from a long line of saudi Bedouin (Arabian desert dwellers). Africa and the middle east are completely different when it comes to history. arabs and Africans are two different races, have their own rich history and not the same, the origin of arabs have always since the beginning of time have lived in the middle east and they're not africans, sure there are africans living among them but they're not the same people. don't mix up our history and tell us we don't exist like "Isre*l". do some research and look into it instead of sharing misinformation.
During ancient African civilization: black people travelled and lived in many parts of the world. Not only Middle East but you find them in India, America, South America, Indonesia, etc.... and find their fingerprints in ancient arts and sculptures. Plus: Archeological findings amuse archeologists all the time. Good luck with your research cause these facts/truths are tearing down lies and becoming more and more available to the general public.
🙏🙏🙏.
The people are so friendly. God bless them
i salute you for clarifying that dude
@Robert Collins i agree it's not always how it seems black ppl looking happy in middle east what not behind the scene some shady slavery shit is going down

@Robert Collins that's not just Saudi it's everywhere in the world even black folks treat white folks better than themselves
Robert Collins it’s not true, I studied with a lot of African people in fact three of my best friends are African, they treated very well, and in this video it’s only because the area they in
I am so glad I clicked on this video. I love how all the children seem happy and enjoy each other, and can speak different languages. I am on the other side of the world, and where I come from you don't see that! Those children are awesome.
@sassy
Thanks for clicking. Don't forget to also subscribe :)
Very proud of you brother for giving us an insight of the cross culture in the Middle East
Much love from Senegal 🇸🇳
Senegal👀...tell Ousmane Sow to call me I miss him😔🥰
You must like him I see 😄
Just have to add, these school kids and the crazy levels of enthusias, has put such a smile on my face. God bless you kids and wishing you joy and success in life.
You are a super talented man .i can't believe your ability on languages.respect
I concur. I have aid that many time. I’ve not been disappointed by one of his videos showing many far away places; very educational
Black Africans,Black Arabs don't speak Arabic??? Since when??? Tell me...-
They look so happy too see you. May We unite with All our Diaspora Kin.
I mean they are arabs
@H G So beautiful
@H G no matter what they are all Arab.
@Nefer Baka ..... Bravo ! Yeah he does delete comments that tell the truth.
Yeah they are happy but I think they are in hopeless place because they don’t have similarity in Saudi Arabia. I was lived in Saudi Arabia for 7 years. When I remember that 7 years I really crying. Because I don’t know how can I explain the difference of another country’s and those Arab countries. There is no any hope for your life but you work like machines with out right. Yeah this all Arab countries must destroy out and they have to colonize with another countries. Even they didn’t include those Arab countries like Tunisia 🇹🇳 Algeria 🇩🇿 Morocco 🇲🇦 Egypt 🇪🇬 Libya 🇱🇾 . They don’t allow another origin.
It is amazing when you see kids, living with each other ignore all differences..like they never existed ..
The children are so happy. Multi races, ethnicities and cultures all together as one. No fighting just love. The way it should be among children and adults.
A Yemeni restaurant, an Afghani chef, and a Pakistani cook. Welcome to Saudi Arabia.
They restaurant have a Saudi owner. Foreigner is not allowed to own anything, Jews are allowed to visit, travel, live ,or own a business. American Rappers are always performing in Saudi, Bahrain, Quatar, etc. I lived and worked there. They live there because it is their choice. But look at their Bank Accounts it will blow your mind.
Remember all Saudi Nationalist receives a monthly living expense check from the oil companies, they do not squander their money!
The kids are so cute. I'm Arab, and I love this. I love the diversity. We come in different shades and colors. It's one of the infinitely beautiful things about our people and culture.
They are guinnean though, read the description.
تحياتي لجميع الشعوب مهما كانت لونهم
Beautiful kids Maa Shaa Allah. May God protect them from evil. Ameen!
Aameen
You showed the reality without editing. I knew more about the life of the African communities in KSA because of your videos.
Thank you brother respect from Sudan.
Adi Adeee that racist my guy, and in fact YOU'RE arab cuz you mane language is arabic n your country has a 50% arab and 50% Africa dna, and cuz you're in Africa people call you african its not that complicated.
Adi Adeee omg what the hell is wrong with you, are you okay? Chill and hav a peaceful conversation im not her to defend someone you said a lie and I correct it. And you wrone again arabs did not came from Africa
Adi Adeee Africa history is not that deep my guy
michael He's just a racist suffering from inferiority syndrome
Adi Adeee LOL the Kabbah started to be dressed in black in the 1930s .. it was dressed in white before that by the Ottomans and before them it was dressed in RED, THE STONES of the Kaabah actually is in light brown... I told you, you are suffering from an inferiority complex BUT also you are a BIG IGNORANT who knows nothing about the world. I can't believe it, this man talking about Kabbah thinks it's black while it's the dress that is changed to be black (because it can't be stained or get dirty easily) by Saudi royal family. The inside of Kabbah is empty with 2 wooden pillars anyone can see it online also they open it once every year.
You are a GREAT asset to Afriqa.Being multi lingual is beneficial to everyone who wants to know more about our scattered people . Keep up the great work SId!!
I was full of joy with all these smiling faces... watching from Germany
I am from somalia and I am so impressed how this school is diversed & how this young stars are speaking in 3 different languages. Masha allah.
Somali kids in Syria, Taiwan, Turkey, Switzerland, Australia, Sweden even India are doing this alhamdulilah
I love the friendship among the children,Masha Allah
Best youtuber in my opinion no joke and i have seen many youtubers
Yes the videos are very well documented and unbiased
I’m from Riyadh and I didn’t know that we have all these places and great people! Thank you for showing this side of Riyadh and welcome to Saudi Arabia brother 🇸🇦❤️

@@katecaddy7556 WTF are you taking about are you an idiot or what?! they are here illegaly they are not citizens
Why Do I Feel Like This Is The Most Beautiful Video I've Watched On YT
The diversity in this school is extraordinary. I loved it. The poverty of that neighborhood is heartbreaking :-(
it's more like a really really old neighborhood and most of them got relocated and then there where people do did not want to relocate. it's the same with Jeddah. some places need to be rebuilt but then again they can be considered as historical places by now and it's the people's choice to either move or not move.
of course, there might be some financial issues but it is really difficult to be with such poverty that you are forced to live in a home like that. even in the lowest salaries as a Saudi you can get enough of a salary to live in so-so apartment and if you have a wife that works then you can live in a good apartment for the most basic of jobs that you don't even need a degree for.
I don’t see them as poor?
I just see happy people MashaAllah
How did you conclude that they are poor?
In Saudi even an ultra rich woman or man could be hanging out here
They all behave same
You can’t tell rich from poor
They care a damn to such mentality
You wouldn’t even believe them having luxurious cars and just sitting in streets relaxing in their finest abayas and eating from street vendors
They care a damn about people’s social status, or color or even religion
Just don’t mess with their women that’s it
Saudia Arabia is a big country , this is just a small part of it. They should renovate it .
@Adi Adeee you might misunderstood the situation, the video is showing a school that made specifically for non Saudi ppl , as you can see they are learning French and French is not exist in any Normal Saudi schools , it's not about putting away black ppl there is actually more Saudi black ppl in Normal Saudi schools, the ppl in the video is foreigners ppl who live without Saudi citizen which is hard to get , the majority of them happened to be black ppl it’s not like there is racism on black ppl
انا متأكده اني قد شفت الصوره حقتك هاذي بس وييين مدري🤔
I can't wait to visit Saudi Arabia God willing.
@Robert Collins why tho?
@Robert Collins what you just said why do we kill her?
@Robert Collins hmmm sure
I was smiling throughout the whole video. what a great group of people so friendly also. Love from the South Pacific.
This is the diversity people needed to live with, eventually all mankind are servants of God... well done
THANK YOU! I WOULD NOT HAVE KNOW ABOUT THE AFRICAN EXISTENCE IN THIS PART OF THE WORLD IF NOT FOR YOUR CHANNEL. I APPRECIATE THE BALANCE YOU LENT TO THE CONTENT. AS A JAMAICAN, I LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR CONTRIBUTION. GOD BLESS!
Mathius S first of all what made you think
Slavery= black skin only
Secondly many of them came due to immigrations the past century
Watching from Riyadh saudi Arabia
الله يديم المحبه و الاخلاق و الصبر بين المسلمين
I'm amongst the diaspora in the USA !! This video brought me so much joy!! Thank you for sharing!!!
This is among the best of what the CZcams platform can offer. You rarely get to see a perspective on other cultures in a genuine way as shown in this video. Thank you. "Mashallah".
These kids are so intelligent and happy. Mashallah!♥️
The children are so respectful!
I am from Philly but I live in Riyadh and I think I’ve been to this neighborhood once before. I love how rich the culture is there. I love living in Saudi, the land of tawheed💚
This is such a beautiful video. I grew up in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia but I never got to explore the world outside my bubble back then. I never even knew people from different races had their communities in -literally and figuratively- the heart of Riyadh. Thank you so much for capturing this part of the city. It is precious, beautiful and deserves recognition. I also loved how sensitive, thoughtful and kind you were to the people in your video. I know how such places have lots of cultural constraints but I was surprised at your sincerity that drew them to you and absolutely delighted with their friendliness.
Looking forward to see more of you. Best of luck.

Thanks very much for the kind words! Please stay tuned.

There is no black or white or brown in Islam. We all are brothers.

You send me a ticket too we go together
My goodness. So many children. Shukran. Thank you, so much.
As salaam alaikum.

No mixed culture black people are the original Arabs.... Saudi Arabia is in Africa!!
@Zaïd Harkat damn!! Read please smh... read a fuckin book!! Go travel please
Great stuff. Beautiful is all I can see.
Me to I really love it
@Sekhobe Sekgobe because you people on here always commenting but don't read or study nothing it's sad!!
People from Yemen are the kindest people on earth very welcoming.

And yet they have such a hard time right now 😭
Yemeni people are very kind.
now i want to go to saudi............and i want to visit the same place...in riyadh
they are so friendly
I love your channel I just subscribed. Your perspective is so refreshing. I am an African descendant of Cuban Puerto Rican heritage born in the Bronx NY. I live in Rome and have met so many of us from all over the world. I love learning about our people's stories and cultures from parts of the world I have yet to see. Excellent work brother. I look forward to your next journey.🇨🇺🇵🇷🌍
Beautiful and great video. The kids were all so beautiful and happy and robust of life. Keep up the great work. Your videos are inspiring. Your videos help to change my outlook of the middle eastern world. Years ago, I had not the best experience in Lebanon and Jordan. I'm sure many things have changed for the better. Your videos bring hope of human unity, respect and compassion.
I must admit that I really enjoyed watching this video very much! Especially when you took the time to introduce members of the local communities there in Al Ud with the wonderful and joyful kids! Love it!! Keep them coming for sure.
Children don't know racism. society teach them.
Dude shut the fuck up
I think you misunderstood, The video doesn’t show racism , it’s not about color in any way , those are foreigners (non Saudi) who want to live in SA non officially (without citizenship) , the Majority of them happened to be African, it’s not like BLACK SAUDI school that’s a big misunderstanding.
There is schools for real Saudi ppl you can find the real black Saudi blooded ppl there
@@mohyo5735 You said ''the video doesn't show racism'' this is exactly what I m saying. Nice to see children from North Africa and West African chilling.
Adi Adeee 😂😂😂😂 dude learn to write in English
This is such a good video the world need to the other side of Saudi Arabia keep doing your thing👏🏾🙏🏽👍🏼
Big fan of your videos 😃👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾 keep them coming 😊!! All the way from California 🇺🇸
They're living a very simple life but HAPPY mashallah. They're all smiling
And what do their smiles tell you?
Melvin Jansen you tell me
@@badralfarse1160 oh why? Im asking you because it looks like you respect it when people with low living standards smile in front of a camera.
I don't understand why
Melvin Jansen it’s a sad fact that these amazing people have some low living standards. However, I respect their happiness, and how small things could make them happy.
@@badralfarse1160 are they happy?

Greetings from south africa, we love you brother. Peace سلام
In the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia there is no place designated for blacks or whites, whether it is a school or a neighborhood. We are all brothers and our religion does not allow racial discrimination.
Masha Allah thats beautiful
So why are all Saudis saying they never heard of it??? Doesn't that show there is systemic social segregation, even if that is not legally enforced??? I really can't understand why you guys are so deluded. This is fucking Saudi Arabia, a country that was forced to ban slavery just in 1962. What else can be expected from such a country with an ugly history.
@@freepatriot9070 america banned slavery not to free slaves, just to unite and force its ideals, my school is half arab, 25% black 25% indian, you clearly haven’t been to saudi arabia
@@sweatingalex5935 America can go to hell any day of the week. No one was talking about America.
Believe me, I know Arabs and Saudis full well. I speak Arabic at a native level. There might be some exceptions here and there, but there is certainly a strong anti-black sentiment in the Arab world in general and in Saudi Arabia in particular. So miss me with your BS anecdotes, please.
@@freepatriot9070 i have lived my entire life in saudi, i know racism is a huge problem here in saudi and the arabic world but new kids now dont see race, its making me very happy
i am from Nigeria but i was born in Saudi Arabia,macca , this is my first time knowing that there’s an African school in Riyadh !
All of these kids are amazing. Inshallah they all become successful
Im african american and i find this video very interesting. Thank you for sharing. All the children are so beautiful ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The children are very happy together I love the unity among them..thumbs up will love Saudi very soon
You are amazing for showing this black community in the Kingdom. I had no idea it existed. Thank you!
So much diversity in one place in that school. So many nationalities. It was quite entertaining to watch you and the kids converse, switching between languages. They all knew 3 or more languages. Quite amazing.
I’m from Riyadh in Saudi Arabia and I’m impressed with your report 👌👌👌 👍🏻 keep it up.
For me, this is my favorite video of yours, the kids, the teens, and the teachers - lol!
Adorable kids, smiles are infectious.
this video is so heart warming ♥️ i love it when people show the real side of saudi and how we are all one and united ♥️ thank you man for being amazing ! 👏🏻🙏🏻
This is the most beautiful thing I've seen in my life👍🏾❤
Those kids are amazing and intelligent, they speak 3 languages fluently when many can only speak 1.
It was amazing, I wish I went to this school
@@DJCole34 This may be a random question, but is your name pronounced "Hash Hash
@@DJCole34 Is your name written in Hebrew? I find that strange since you are Saudi.

I swear this is the best video 4me I'm happy to see all that ppl ,,my father is Yemeni and my mama Is Ethiopian I was born in saudi 🙏🏾🙏🏾👍🏾tnx the video was 💕
I went to this school GIS me and my brothers until 2012. I can't believe some people in the faculty haven't changed.
Will share with all my classmates who went there with me. Wow good times. ❤️
We can see that this children of African descent are Happier that Our Black American Children. And they claim to uphold human rights, My foot.
Darcia Mbaye Your experience is definitely unfortunate. I am a Black American born and raised in Houston (Texas), and I was never taught to dislike/hate Africans (or anyone for that matter). In fact, I personally do not know of anyone who was raised in that manner. Many of the Black Africans (varying countries) that I met in college and/or through work expressed that they were taught that Black Americans were inferior to Black Africans bc our ancestors were enslaved and theirs were not. Also that the media plays a big role in how Black Americans are portrayed throughout the world (lazy, criminal, etc), and that played a major role in how the Black Africans that I know/have known “see” and “think” of Black Americans. Once we get to know one another, w/o preconceived notions, we may realize that we have more in common than not.
They definitely seem to be happy children. Though I must say that I work w/children & many, if not most, are happy in school w/their friends & not bothered w/the worries of the world.
None of those black kids will be citizens or be allowed to do anything with saudi peoples
@Sultan Abdulhameed II wrong
The happiness among those kids is so natural and pure🔥🔥
If u wanna visit black local Neighborhood u should have gone to alfisalih in Riyadh, all the residents are black Arab who been living in the country before the birth of the country

Hey, I always look up to the episodes you upload. Very informative. Had you not rolled your cameras in those hoods you visited I would never have known about the existence of those communities. They all look jovial. The end is a bit sad but there was a glimmer of hope when you said the folks there have mastered the game and are playing it to their advantage.
All the way from Somalia i wish one day
U come here so we get opportunity to see such hardworking CZcamsr
