2000 Cases


The last time I talked about the number of cases was on May 9th. on that date, Sudan reached 1000 cases. And I was planning to write another piece when Sudan reached 2000 cases but due to the rapid increase in numbers of cases, I was not able to catch up. Now, The number of confirmed cases is 3138 and of those 121 expired (3.9%). The mortality rate has declined which I hope indicates more testing.

The number of cases is doubling every five days. As I said before it is not a surprise considering the lack of social distancing. However, for some reason, the situation in Sudan is worst when compared to other countries in East Africa in terms of mortality and the number of cases. Considering that some of these countries did not go all the way with the lockdown policy as Sudan did.


I hope the number of new cases will stabilise over the next few days but with Eid coming and current lack of political stability, it is unlikely that this will happen.

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, and she in turn got it from her mo

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 .
