Mahajirines: yesterday, Allah’s migrants, today, with chains on feet.

It fell to them the role to islamise the people. Too many in a country in crisis, their future is uncertain. The word « mahajirine » means « emigrating », from « mahajir », the emigrant. At first, these emigrants were pious people living Meqqah for Medina in Saudi Arabia. The Mahajirines went there to study the Quran. So, the « mahajir » is a student in theology and a preacher of Islam. The word has another meaning, more recent: beggar. The students of these Quranic schools at Sudanese and Saudi instigations are more and more numerous. This has been occurring for some years in Chad. These two countries with their unbending Islam finance these madrassa. The families pay at the morst two bags of millet for the whole year (about 60 ? or 80$). One must pay for chadian public school and it cost much more than two bags of food. The center that I visited is known under the name of « mabrooka ». The boarders are about 400. It is situated at the beginning of the desert, outside of the city of Abeche, east of Chad close to the border of Darfur.
