Results show that social care in the New Nubba is suffering from shortness in social guarantee, lack of services proposed to the poor, lack of services presented to those with special needs, shortness of services of motherhood and childhood, and lack of services for household woman.
Results indicate that Nubians prefer Egyptian nationality to other foreign nationalities; yet, they think they haven’t got their rights until now, so, they suffer inequality of rights and opportunities.
Results indicate that Nubians were exposed to historical injustice and unfairness from all Egyptian systems.
Results also indicate that Nubians are encountering a conflict with authority, as they think that dislodgment has been unfair historically and that their problems should be resolved with government and authority as fast as can.
