The last time such actions were taken against an Arab nation was when Egypt reached a peace deal with Israel. There are many contradictions within the current situation. Many of members of the Arab league themselves do not hold high regards toward human rights in the first place while trying to hide their own abuses. I guess Syria is unlucky it is just really bad timing. Because of its alliance with Iran all gulf nations were against Assad. Egypt, Tunis, and Libya can not support him anymore. Even Sudan voted against Assad. Sudan vote really confused me. Is Bashir not worried that he might be in the same shoes of Assad sooner or later? Oh wait, Bashir already did the same in Darfur and south Kordofan. Instead the Arab league got behind him. But time has  changed, if revolutions contin

LiveJournal Tags: Eid , Muslims , Friday , Prayer , Sudan One of the experience I gained from living abroad is learning what does it mean to be a minority. Now that I am in Europe I become an ethnic and a religious minority! Friday is not a holiday here, people do not stop to do Friday prayers And usually it is very hard to be accommodate if you are working in a hospital. I always asked the question why Friday prayer has to be in Arabic when most of the audience in fact do not understand Arabic?! The custom in most UK and Ireland Friday prayer is the first speech is in Arabic, while the second one is in English. The all the Audience understand English but few understand Arabic. There is perception among Arabs because the Quran is in Arabic they have to lead when it come to Islam, forgetting the fact that majority of Muslims do not speak Arabic. This Eid I lost my way and instead of going to my regular mosque I ended up in a Nigerians one (I think)! it is new because as far a

LiveJournal Tags: Sudan , Khartoum , NCP , South Sudan , Bashir , Independence Yes it is for real! the Sudan we know is no longer there. it is another country now. For me it is quite strange sad feeling mixed with anger that this happened. I totally understand where southern coming from and their motives to seek independence. who ever denies that they were treated as second class citizens is just blind to the truth. If I were in there shoes I would fight for independence no matter what the cost is. If I am not in a position of equal I would not agree to live in the same country, would you? My anger as North Sudanese is directed toward the Sudanese elite, who totally destroyed this country! who had no understanding of power sharing, they were divided into ideologies and each of them tried to force it down the throat of the other party. The NCP has never been weaker than now. Everyone is blaming it for losing one third of the country. NCP will face huge loss of revenue, for sure N

LiveJournal Tags: Sudan , NCP , Turabi , Bashir , KSA , Sufism , Salafi , Salafism most people are paying attention to the birth of the world newest state, South Sudan . While Southern know exactly who they are but we in the north still trying figuring this out! In recent years specially after the famous divide of the Islamic Front between Bashir and Turabi , The NCP sought support in radical Islamic group to confront the spiritual leader Mr. Turabi. The problem will be the rest of the Sudanese people in the north. Do they support such Salafism ? I do not think so. Sudan for long time was dominated buy Sufism which is a very peaceful in nature, more inclusive rather than exclusive. Salafism was brought mainly buy Sudanese expat who worked and lived in KSA and the gulf. The Niqab is a stranger to Sudanese custom and tradition. The NCP is in very critical situation. loss of hard currency income will lead to spending cuts and tax increases to maintain its Military spending. The n

it is quite sad the situation of children in my country Sudan! i found this airplaine toy which state clearly "UN air force". UN involvement has become a part of childhood in Sudan. when I was a kid, these toys usually would hold lables such as "US airforce" or other kids shows name on it (after all all the toys come from the west). I hope things would not get worse
