It’s good to see how much mutual respect and dialogue the peace agreement with Egypt has brought. So much has changed! /sarcasm

Oh well, at least we’ve got less wars. For now.

Anyone else think that this union being motivated purely by nationalist political creed is fucked-up? Just wondering.

“The position of the union is clear in its rejection of normalisation (with Israel) and requires that members abide by this position,” Ashraf Zaki, the head of the union, told AFP.

F* them… egyptians seem to hold this kind of treacherous trade….

oh I remember this documentary, infact I read about the auditions and I was considering auditiong. If I did audition and I was casted, will the sudanese government revoke my passport n ban me from leaving the country?
just a thought

Kizzie, that would be pretty dumb. Befriending an Israeli is not a treasonous action as far as I know. The Sudanese Diaspora is huge and many of us, especially ones living in Western countries, must have come in contact with Israeli Jews and befriended them.

Apparently some unions in Egypt have weird laws. Good thing I’m not a member in any of them.

Honestly i do not see what acting in a movie has to do with relationship with the state of Israel… It’s not like he supports the IDF.

Pathetic is the appropriate word.

it seems that ‘manners’ are understood differently between different cultures. answering -any answer- is usually taken as a sign of good manner, no matter what the answer is, while people at other cultures, not answering at all seem to think that solves the problem…

and the one who should understand this, understands…..
