"Sudan is not really a country at all, but many.
A composite layers, like a genetic fingerprint of memories that were once fluid, but have since crystallized out from the crucible of possibility"

I agree.
Only because no way do I plan on going to hell. :P
But this images do fill me with fuzzy feelings. :)
"I look at the average Sudanese and I'm optimistic again..."
isn't that the way everywhere? our leaders seem to need us to lead them, rather than the other way around--but as you point out, when we do take the lead it is often to the benefit of all.
in the us, we're trying to fix the disaster we set upon the rest of the world--and this election coming up in november seems to be a big step in the right direction.
last comment: the moment i saw the baker's bread i began to wonder how that bread would taste if it had been baked with rosemary and garlic...but that said, is there anything that beats nice warm bread?
well, i guess there are a few things, like fresh blueberries you picked yourself, and tomatoes just pulled from the vine...but that said, perfect warm bread is just sooo good.
After this we suffer no more no more pain this flood is for a reason the water must clean what must be clean... Dear sister, God gave us Kush a heaven on earth look what we have done with it Where is Kush? Where is Soba? Where is Sudan? if general al-Bashir is counted as one of us, I refuse...

no more pain
this flood is for a reason
the water must clean
what must be clean...
Dear sister,
God gave us Kush
a heaven on earth
look what
we have done with it
Where is Kush?
Where is Soba?
Where is Sudan?
if general al-Bashir is counted as one of us, I refuse...
You write very well.
