The Pan-African movement covers the topic of the African diaspora around the world, most recently on the Asian continent. The following communities discussed in this article are from India and the Persian Gulf area. In the Land of Israel, Ethiopian immigrants began settling in the state starting in the 1970s. Black Jews practice Judaism, and Ethiopians emigrate to Israel primarily for religious reasons. With roots dating back to biblical times, Ethiopian Jews were surprised to find other groups of people who had also practiced the religion. Immigrants have had difficulty trying to enter the country by “returning to Israel.” In 1973 they were considered part of the Jewish community and qualified to obtain Israeli citizenship. As anti-Semitism increased in Ethiopia, Ethiopian Jews left for the Promised Land. Over time, the influx of Ethiopians occurred with the assistance of government agencies and shelter operations. The Ethiopian immigrants were placed in a temporary shelter and received monetary funds from the government along with Hebrew language lessons. Those who arrived in those years currently have better opportunities. The experience of blacks in Israel is interesting to analyze alongside their national identity. Ethiopian Jews have faced discrimination in numerous public sectors such as housing, education, the military, and other areas of Jewish life. Few have reported these incidents of discrimination. Most families live in developing areas of Israel; some believe the reasoning behind this has to do with their African background when Israeli agencies placed them there. Curiously, some Ethiopians were unaware of the existence of white Jews. Some have complained of being segregated among... paper communities... that come from Africa. The cultural kinship shared among all these communities is not only a part of the African diaspora, but addresses religious, ethnic, and political issues in determining where future research on the extents of African communities will be guided. By analyzing these various communities as a research with a theme that concerns national belonging, the result will produce various results. This regional part of the world, spanning the Asian continent, is an exciting journey to watch. The unique trajectory is unique to both of these communities. When you start drawing lines between national borders and ethnic conflicts across Africa and Asia; the idea of national belonging is a very intriguing topic to consider, especially in relation to the African diaspora.
