What is Sudan?
"An uncertain country haphazardly cobbled together first by the Ottomans in the 19th century and later by the British during the 20th. It has no cultural coherence or geopolitical logic, even though its populations have become used to living together". Gerard Prunier
I'm a Sudanese journalist blogging for a better Sudan. When I started this blog in December 2006, I just wanted to write about Sudan and share my perspective. Then, I found out that I had an opinion and I continued blogging. I was also studying journalism at the time and I became a journalist with an interest in human rights, development, politics and gender issues.
I drink, I write, I drink tea.
