Senegal is an Arab Country: Student

Had it been for French Imperialism of Senegal, my country would have been an Arab since we have the same customs and traditions, said Ahmad Bambalouh, a postgraduate, Arabic language department, College of Arts, in an interview.
Resalah:
Bambalouh: I joined the KSU one year ago. I got a scholarship and was admitted to higher diploma in the Arabic institute.
Resalah:
Bambalouh: I learnt Arabic in Senegal in the basic education stages. I came here to increase my knowledge and earn a higher diploma in Arabic.
Resalah: had it been for imperialism, Senegal would have been an Arab state since the Arab customs and traditions spread there all over the country. The Senegalese love Arabic and turn out to learn it.
Resalah:
Bambalouh: it is difficult to describe feelings of a man yearning to visit the two holy mosques. I liked , actually, the landmarks of Saudi Arabia in general.
Resalah:
Bambalouh: Yes, but few since I have joined Arabic institute dedicated for non-Arabs.
Resalah:
Bambalouh: I do not remember now, but in general I faced up joyful and unhappy situations.
Resalah:
Bambalouh: I aspire to continue studies and earn higher certificates; and service Arabic - the language of Glorious Quran – to disseminate it amongst non-Arabic speakers.
Resalah:
Bambalouh: I thank the KSU for good hospitality and strenuous efforts exerted to serve Islam.
