Egypt's black Nubians could finally be returning to their homelands

Egypt's black Nubians could finally be returning to their homelands. About one percent of Egypt is black, the ancient Nubians who are natives of southern Egypt and across into northern Sudan. This article explains how around 50,000 Nubians were displaced from their homelands along the Nile by several dam projects since the 1960s, including the massive Aswan Dam, which flooded their ancestral lands.

Just recently, however, a national referendum included a measure for the Nubians to return to their original homelands:

"Egypt's new constitution, which passed earlier this month with 98 percent of the vote in a controversial referendum, pledges 'to bring back the residents of [Egyptian] Nubia to their original areas and develop them within ten years.'"

This is one potential positive result from the tumultuous aftermath of the 2011 Arab Spring, which, as yet, never really ended.
