Salah Mudathir Sanhouri, a young pharmacist with a well-known family name, has become more or less the revolution’s poster boy, or as is more fit to say: Sudan’s Buazizi. His death was not the first of some 200+ deaths, but it was by the far the most penetrating. The Sanhouri clan is famous for its […]

So once again, Sudan is revolting. Everyone’s saying how this is it, this is THE revolution that will finally unglue the NCP and cast them down history’s hall of shame. The demonstrations are rather smaller than last time, mostly because university students are nowhere to be seen (I mean the demonstrations are not initiated in
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. Several events have led to this assumption, not least of which was the latest instalment in the hospital-selling series, and the new

I thought it refers to something rather than actually meaning something. But apparently, that’s just what it is. The line connecting Khartoum to Heathrow was stolen by some invisible ninja, and sold to

The other day I was with my cousin, a lawyer and PhD holder with a special interest in children’s rights. She was preparing a paper about the impact of armed conflict on children, to be presented in a conference, and wanted to include an interview with a street child coming from the war zone. We

You need to read Part One to make sense of this post by the way. Anyway. I don’t have much to say in this post. My dad did all the remaining procedures for me so I’m not sure exactly what steps were taken. I do know that the previously obtained documents were sent to the

As it is impossible to come to Sudan without brushing with the reality of the current situation, I found myself at one point floundering in the public transport system for a week (after regressing from driving our air conditioned family car, to a small amjad with my friends, to finally roaming the streets and bus
