Hausaland

Location: The Hausa Culture is located mostly in northwestern Nigeria and parts of southwestern Niger ,north cameroom ,north Gana north Togo south burkina faso east Chad they call Hausaland. There are several large cities around Hausaland. The population is the largest in West Africa consisting of over 50 million because of their intermarriages and constant interaction with different peoples. While most of the Hausa live in Hausaland, some of the people are found scattered from West Africa all the way to the Congo Republic settled temporarily as traders or sometimes even permanently. The Hausaland was brought together during the Islamic holy war in the 19th century by Usman d'an Fodio, a Fulani scholar.
Language: The language of Hausa is taken from their name Hausa. It is spoken by about 50 million native speakers and about 30 million use it as a second language. About one-fourth of their language is derived from Arabic and the rest from Fulfulde and Kanuri languages, and even some English is incorporated into their language. Some Hausa even speak French and English fluently and some times even read and write Arabic.
Daily Life: Most Hausa are devoted to the Islamic faith. They worship Allah and believe in the prophets Mohammed. Muslims pray about five times a day and read the Holy Scriptures, fast during the month of Ramadan, and give donations to the poor. There are some Hausa people that do not follow Islam-- they are called Maguzawa and they worship nature spirits called bori or iskoki. Their religious behavior affects their everyday life including their dress, art, house types, laws, and rites of passage.
The Hausa rite of passage is different than other cultures. A week after a child is born they achieve personhood and aren't given a name until the Islamic naming ceremony. The boys and girls must learn the Qu'ranic scripture by the age of 13. In their teens, they may wed. The ceremony lasts for about a week with the bride having the bride and groom's parents contract the marriage according to the Islamic law and then the couple will be brought together with a small celebration. When a Hausa dies, they take them, wash them, wrap them in shroud and bury them facing eastward toward the Islamic holy land of Mecca.
The Hausa grow a variety of crops and vegetables during the rainy season, mainly millet, maize, and sorghum over the 4 to 5 month span. The Hausa enjoy a variety of foods. They grind the grains together with maize and it is used for flour with a variety of different foods. Porridge is served with breakfast and sometimes cakes are served that are made of fried beans or wheat flour. Heavy porridge is served with lunch and dinner also with a soup or stew. Like Americans, dinner is the main meal. They eat little meat, but eat lots of beans, peanuts, and drink a lot of milk brought over from the Fulani people.

بيان الهوسا بكسلا

dansudan

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم وبه نستعين

التاريخ 5/6/2008م
الموضوع : الى جماهير الشعب السوداني السلام عليكم ورحمة الله تعالى وبركاته نحن كقبيلة الهوسا كنا ولا نزال حريصين كل الحرص على سلامة ووحدة اراضي السودان من قبل الاستقلال والى قيام الساعة انشاء الله .لقد ظللنا نحن كابناء ( أبناء الهوسا بجبهة شرق السودان ) منذ قيام جبهة شرق السودان في الصفوف الأولى وإيمانا منا بضرورة المطالبة بالتوزيع العادل للسلطة والثروة والتنمية المستدامة لأهل ومواطني شرق السودان على مختلف قبائلهم ومعتقداتهم .ونحن نمثل نسبة 25% من المجموع الكلي لجيش جبهة شرق السودان هذا في الجانب العسكري اما في الجاني السياسي فنحن نمثل 50% .بعد أن وضعت الحرب اوزارها وتم التوقيع على اتفاقية سلام شرق السودان كان نصيب ابناء الهوسا هو 14% في كل السلطة والثروة والترتيبات الأمنية كل على حدا.لقد تمت عملية توزيع السلطة والثروة والترتيبات الأمنية بكل القبائل المنضوية تحت لواء جبهة الشرق عدا ابناء قبيلة الهوسا .وايضا لم تفي الجبهة باعطاء المسرحين من ابناء الهوسا حقوقهم.وعليه نطالب رئاسة جبهة الشرق اعطائنا حقوقنا كاملة غير منقوصة . ونحن سوف ننظر مدة 15 يوم لاتخاذ القرارات والتعديلات اللازمة لانصافنا ورد حقوقنا . وعلى رئاسة الجبهة تحمل تبعات ما سيحصل عند انضاء الاجل في حين عدم رد الحقوق .
ممثل أبناء الهوسا بجبهة الشرق السودانية

النور علي ابكر ابراهيم

الأمر مرفوع للأخ/ موسى محمد أحمد رئيس جبهة الشرق وبعيداً عن اللغة المتشددة التي استخدمها البيان للنظر في الأمر بما اوتي من الحكمة وسعة الصدر فاخوتنا الهوسا بشرق السودان هم جزء اصيل من التركيبة الأثنية لشرق السودان وهم أخوة أعزاء يشاركوننا ونشاركهم في السراء والضراء.
