Congratulation South Sudan

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 NCP would not cut spending on army or security forces but instead it will cut spending on basic needs and public services such as education and health. food prices and services prices will increase in addition to tax hikes.

NCP to stay in power it has play the religion card, Sudan is being targeted because we are Muslims. NCP state it will fully apply Sharia law now they got rid of South, hoping this will help rally Islamisit and radicals around NCP rather than having them against it. But when it come to Blue Nile, South Kordofan, and Darfur NCP is playing a dirty game buy presenting it as Arabs against these minorities. NCP is trying to present Arabs ( to be accurate people from north and Central Sudan) as victims and wrongly accused of things they did not do. it is true that Sudanese living outside Khartoum and Gazera lack basic services and suffer of marginalization but nothing compared to the rest of Sudan. Now these three regions see that there is no change in Khartoum behaviour toward them and they still have no say on power and wealth, so most likely they will follow on in south of Sudan steps.

 

Things will play out in the next two to three years, hope north Sudan will stay as one country! I know we can do it, we can live together without killing each other.

With love from Sudan

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. The service is called 23andme.com , you can check the website if you are looking for more information or explanation of what am about to say, they have nice videos. 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 .  I have no doubt this represent most of North Sudanese with different percentages for each one. It basically showed that my Y chromosome did come from North aftrica, you get your Y chromosome from your father who in turn got it from my Grandfather and so on. My my Mitochondria, which the organism that provide energy to most cells int he body, was handed to me from from my mother, ...

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.
