The Jellaba are a hybrid of different races and nationalities from the indigenous Africans, and the immigrant Arabs, Turks and Greeks, and other races, who have interacted and intermarried in the long historical process which took place mainly in the reverain Northern Sudan. The very hybrid nature of the Jellaba explains their excessive and almost sickening proclamations and obsession with being Arab. Their false sense of superiority and belonging to the Arab people is nothing but the expression of a psychological over compensation for their inferiority complex, characteristic of any assimilated people, who are usually uncertain and apprehensive about their roots and who fail to make a transition into a new objective reality.
