Ägypten in Afrika südlich der Sahara/ Egypte in sub-Saharan Africa

Scharnier zwischen Asien und Afrika, Kreuzung von Straßen zwischen Europa und Asien – Ägypten war mit allem, was es in sich birgt, schon immer afrikanisch. Seine Beziehungen zu Afrika südlich der Sahara seit der Zeit der Pharaonen sind dank der Arbeit von Cheikh Anta Diop nicht mehr zu bestreiten. Das christliche Ägypten knüpfte im vierten Jahrhundert enge religiöse Beziehungen zum größten Staat des Kontinents: dem Reich von Aksum (Äthiopien). Der Islam kam über Ägypten nach Afrika. Unter den Osmanen und insbesondere in der Zeit von Muhammad Ali und seinen Nachfolgern war Ägypten lediglich am Sudan interessiert. Die Machtübernahme der Freien Offiziere im Jahr 1952 brachte eine große Veränderung in die Beziehungen zu den Ländern südlich der Sahara. Ägypten unterstützte massiv afrikanische Länder im Kampf um die Unabhängigkeit, insbesondere die bewaffneten Befreiungsbewegungen in kolonisierten Ländern wie Angola, Mosambik - so, wie Ägypten es für Algerien getan hatte. 1963 war Ägypten eines der Gründungsländer der OAU (seit 2002 AU).

Dieses Seminar zielt daher darauf ab: 1-das Engagement Ägyptens (in seinen historischen Stadien) in Afrika südlich der Sahara, die Ziele und Ergebnisse dieses Engagements zu untersuchen. 2- die koloniale Trennung zwischen weißem Nordafrika und schwarzem Afrika südlich der Sahara zu diskutieren, zumal die Lehre der Afrikawissenschaften auf der Grundlage dieser Trennung fortgesetzt wird.

Hinge between Asia and Africa, crossroads between Europe and Asia, Egypt, with all that it conceals within it has always been African. Its Relations with Sub-Saharan Africa since the period of the pharaohs are no longer to be proven since the work of Cheikh Anta Diop. Christian Egypt forged very close religious relations with the continent´s largest state in the fourth century: the Empire of Aksum (Ethiopia). Islam also entered Africa through Egypt. Under the Ottomans and especially in the time of Muhammad Ali, Egypt was only interested in Sudan. The takeover of power by the Free Officers in 1952 brought a major change in relations with sub-Saharan Africa. Egypt supported massively African countries in the fight for independence, especially the armed liberation movements in colonized countries like Angola, Mozambique, as it had done for Algeria. In 1963, Egypt was one of the founding countries of the OAU (now AU since 2002.

This seminar therefore aims: 1-to study the commitment of Egypt (in its historical stages) in sub-Saharan Africa, its goals and its results; 2- to discuss the colonial division between white North Africa and black sub-Saharan Africa, especially as the teaching of African Studies continues on the basis of this division.
