We were told that our ancestors didn't know what footwear was until Europeans came to this continent of Africa.

Note the name Sudan (land of the blacks) was given to Nubia by the Arabs when they tried to capture it in the 8th century during the Ottoman-Arab (Islam) conquest of Africa.

Notice the beautiful sandals, stylish dresses, jewelry they are wearing, and the different skin tones which showcase that today Sudan 🇸🇩 and South Sudan 🇸🇸 are definitely one.
