One of the (many) things that irritate me is the way people talk about the government like it’s been the best we’ve ever had, and all the good things they’ve done for us (kabaaari wu shawaaaari3, wu sokkar!), and how the country is in the best situation it could be especially when you compare to […]
Someone once described my reports of what’s really going on in the health sector in Sudan as ‘propaganda’. I wasn’t insulted or anything, but it did remind me of the huge gap between what happens in the offices and corridors of the ministry of health and what the situation on the ground actually is. Once
Take my picture! I just killed an infidel! I’m getting tired of this nonsense. I really am. I mean, seriously, why don’t you people stop this already! If you feel so bad about Muslims getting killed all over the world, then why the hell don’t you get on a plane to Afghanistan or Iraq or
Now that is one LONG road to walk I worry about this government, because its members are now showing signs of insanity. They’ve always been stupid, greedy, homicidal, but insanity is something new.

You’re right about that! A whole lot of interesting articles are showing up on my Facebook homepage (cuz that’s the only social life I have) about these bombings. Amy Davidson from the New York Times is writing about some Saudi kid who got caught after being injured in the blast and cast as the case’s

Everything one wishes for in life. I went to Sa3ad Gishra last weekend to get a few things fixed. For those who don’t know, Sa3ad Gishra is sort of our local shopping center. It’s basically a few hundred shops and tents set up and named after some guy (Sa3ad Gishra) that sell and fix everything

I am currently involved in an interesting project that seems to be the answer to Sudan’s health problems. The ministry of health has decided to conduct a complete overhaul of the current healthcare system, and to choose a state in which to run a sort of pilot for the reform initiative. The Red Sea State,
