Sudan - the way of suffering

in #africa7 years ago

I was there several times . The first one, when the genocide in Darfur area still was going on .
In 2008 I was working for UN . We've been carrying soldiers , local people, cargo , food staff in Darfur. So many ruined buildings, burned villages had to see we there from the air. Pain, suffering of ordinary citizens , who become a hostage of
political situation .0-02-04-69b15b20b6a008ce36b36f58f87ba41972e627773655d0c2fad60f72ccfe86d3_full.jpg 0-02-04-6bd1891ff0b599e7a4c20d0d7df52965a9b6eeee5a648c6c51d47b61b388f3f1_full.jpg
Janjaweeds - government mercenaries. They are armed to the teeth , using camels and SUV were riding from the village to village , exterminated civilians .The reason was " their wrong origin" . It sounds so awfully . Who can judge?0-02-04-1de4a85a8085930fec2a6b795039a0af26287723cb1a8471d160c7eeeea1772b_full.jpg
Living in the desert , these tribes were geographically isolated from the rest of Islamic Sudan. Such aborigines always peacefully farm , graze cattle and hunt . Now they became a victims of bloody politics games ... The aim was horrible : wipe out the ethnic population from the Earth planet, first of all because of religion reasons . 0-02-04-23657eb87aa41553d99f4d3eaf899e1d79df6c70abe475e20d664bcfa8712d1b_full.jpg

I remember one boy . His name was Farhad . An orphan . His village was burnt , everybody were slain . Twelve years old this lucky guy miraculously, after 3 days wandering in desert without food and water , eventually got the nearest town - Nyala . Now standing in front of me , he was smiling , remembering that awful situation . Of course in his eighteen , now he has wife and child and all trouble is 0-02-03-273dffa82c96bd8d61c5b04b4b75732fd1a0e85f196f0759d463975a1b9e833d_full.jpgin the past , still he misses his parents very much .
Concerning children- despite on poverty and distressful situation , they are happy and welcoming . So I hope for the best in my heart . I believe Sudan has future. And these small boys and girls , when grow up will take situation under control . Remembering all , they will arrange better life for future generation . I am sure , they will build new Sudan , new society of civilized and friendly people .![sudan.jpg]0-02-04-355b709b3dd2bc9bf3e7ed0bccdfbecc22af8f620aac7da42a24d4e373a8bc54_full.jpg()0-02-04-7a9e4b41f7e5040754da53e55639890a4fb31baa4c4e2e79c738afd324b940e1_full.jpg
