Do You Want To Start Clapping???

WARNING: There is no real structure to what I’m saying here in this post. I’m simply typing thoughts as they come to my head. Everything I state here is based on my own personal opinion. Sorry in advance if you get confused. I’m new to blogging and still in the process of refining my writing […]

Peace Deal By End April & UN Still Insisting On Taking Over AU

Mustafa Osman Ismail, the president’s advisor and the secretary of political communication at the ruling National Congress, announced that he is very optimistic a peace deal could be signed by the end of April at the Abuja talks. He also made comments that the recent attack against the Sudanese embassy and its staffs in Ndjamena […]

Another Case of Bird Flu In Sudan

Another case of bird flu has been reported in Sudan. Damn! I seriously pitty President Omar Al-Bashir. He must have a serious headache. Darfur crisis, screwed up Chad relations, Eastern rebels getting more pissed off by the day, mediating between Syria and Lebanon and now bird flu. Folks it’s one tough job being president. Good […]

University of Chicago Will Not Divest From Sudan

Apparently the U of C won’t divest. Weird decision if you ask me. Many other Universities already did so why won’t the U of C?

Civilizations Rise & Fall. Is America’s End Near?

For thousands of years and since the beginning of time many great civilizations such as Ancient Egypt, Roman, Greek, Babylonian, Persian, Aztec, Ottoman, Maya etc. rose and fell. So it’s only natural that America will fall one day. If and when that happens, many think China will take over. Now this is not meant to […]

Ancient Jewish Communities In Sudan

I thought this article might be of interest to some of you so I’m posting a link to it here.

US Universities To Decide About Sudan Investments

Universities in the US have started mounting pressure on some of the most powerful institutional funds in the country to withdraw billions of dollars worth of money from any Sudan-related investments. It’s a move designedto put pressure on the Sudanese government to end the Darfur crisis. While this is a good move, I still don’t […]

Sudan Is Not As Bad As You Think

When I was a little kid and people asked me where I was from I would hesitate to say Sudan. Everytime Sudan was mentioned on the news, embarassing images would be shown. Naked hungry children with flies buzzing around their heads, topless women with dusty hanging droooopies etc. You get it. While there are unfortunate […]

When Will The Sudanese Government Step Up?!

The Darfur tragedy is getting worse by the day and until now no real progress has been made. I predict the situation will worsen even further now that relations between Sudan and Chad are screwed. The peace talks are going to end up down the drain since Chad has withdrawn from them. Having AU […]

Where Some of The Darfur Aid Ends Up

A year ago during my holiday in Sudan, I went to an open market. To my surprise and disgust, I saw food products with stickers labeled “A Gift From The People of United Arab Emirates” being SOLD in the damn market. They were supposed to be freaking sent as freaking aid to Darfur. They were […]

Abuja Talks & Possibility of Breakthrough

According to a senior U.S. State Department official, a Darfur breakthrough might be possible. He noted that negotiators in those discussions were able to reach an agreement on the thorny issue of wealth and power sharing. If you ask me, I don’t think a breakthrough is easily going to happen. If the government agrees to […]

Conspiracies & Anti-US Sentiments

Darfur is rich in natural resources specially uranium. The current belief in the Sudanese street is that America is exaggerating the Darfur issue as a reason to take control over the area and its natural resources (in other words the uranium so it won’t end up in terrorists’ hands). Many people believe that a UN […]

McDonald’s In Sudan?

As you all know the US has an embargo on Sudan and do you know what the worst part of that is? Yes, you guessed it… There is no freaking McDonald’s in Sudan. Not even ONE restaurant. That is one of the main reasons my little sister hates going there for holidays (she’s a McDonald’s […]

Ethiopia: Quran Torn, Thrown Into Toilets

Anger is spreading and growing in Ethiopian universities as pages torn from the Quran were found inside toilet bowls in the campus of Adis Ababa University (Arabic Link). This is completely wrong. No book of ANY religion be it Torah, Bible or Quran should be abused in this sick way. I find it to be […]

More Problems For Darfurians

Following Chad’s decision to cut ties with Sudan, Deby is now threatening to expel about 200,000 Darfur refugees in Chad back to Sudan. The United States warned against such a move (Arabic link).
Meanwhile as Sudan’s relations with Chad worsen, its relations with Eritrea are improving.
