Swine flu in Sudan

Akhir Lahza(Arabic) Sudanese news paper reported today cases of H1N1 have reached 200 case in Sudan, according to unnamed medical resource. Only three Pilgrims returned from Mecca were diagnosed with the virus.

The unnamed medical resource added that all cases were discovered in Khartoum state, Red sea state, and Juba.

I guess we need to wait for official confirmation of these figures from a reliable resources, but ministry of health has bad reputation in preventing and containing epidemics. The recent Haemorrhagic fever outbreak is a good example.

I am Sudanese and I have the DNA to prove it!!!

People keep asking me why I did it? I did it for one reason, Knowledge. In Sudan we always ask the question of who we are and where did we come from?! So I did send my Saliva for DNA testing . The service provide you information in regard to your health and ancestry.

You will notice from the graph the DNA analysis concluded I am half north african and the rest, or most of it, is Sub- Saharan African .

Girifna!

I know everyone now is concerned with referendum and likely separation of south Sudan but let us go back to the election period and have a look on this video. Recently there has been this movement called “Girifna” which in Arabic means “we are fed up”, I know it sounds strange that one world translate into three worlds in English. Since the aftermath of the election the movement seems to be getting weaker and lost momentum! i guess it was inspired by arising hope of change and the possibility that there will be a new face for Sudan politics, but the hope was shattered by the announcement of Bashir victory. Did anyone hear anything since that time about Girifna? you can find them at http://www.girifna.com/ Sudanese Elections: Music & the Vote with NasJota and Girifna from Michal Shapiro on Vimeo .

Sudan: History of a Broken Land

This is a good documentary about Sudan before the separation of the south from the north. it was aired by Al-Jazeera English almost more than a year ago. it just showed how politicians messed up Sudan for the coming generations. I would say it is relevant to current situation as we as Sudanese are repeating the same mistakes but now in Darfur , Kurdofan , and Blue Nile . Al Sadiq is right about one thing, the north has to apologies for associating salivary with the degree of blackness.
