Why would you call them Arabs when they are really Egyptian. But anyway do you deny they are Africans? Why would you do that? It seems you haven't really thought some things out here.  Show some consistency here, please.

Some of them descend from Arab migrations from later years. Would you deny F.W. de Klerk as an African? You would refer to him as such, but qualify it by saying a Hugenot or Boor or Afrikaans.
