Muzan, Greetings
i brought excerpts of the interview with the commuinst leader, because he was talking as an individual, and was narrating individual experiences and his perception thereof. the excerpts, also, shed some light on the socio-economic and political settings in sudan in the 1930s. the irony is, you can put 2004 instead of 1930 and the narrative would be an honest account of sudan in the 21st century. Nothing of essence has changed. 70 years of turmoil and tragedy and mayhem in sudan, but nothing of essence has changed! tragic? isn't it?!
stagnation is, also, one of the characteristics of underdevelopped societies. and clinging to the old ways. I remeber when I was a young boy growing in khartoum north, some of our relatives would visit us from their village in northern sudan and stay with us for some time, long stay or short stay!
A perpetual and sacrosanct ritual for some of them was to pay a visit to the tomb and mauseleum of sayyid Ali al Mirghani and his holy family in Hillat Khojali, not very far from our family home. It was my duty to take them to that place. I was reluctant to do so. But i had to follow orders! or be punished! When we get there, I would tease my relatives by taking the mickey out of this ritual. there , they would rub holy soil/sand on their faces and arms. some of them would wrap some dust in their turbans (men), or in their tobes (women).. this is Baraka! they would tell me.! It will help you succeed in life.
I think now, if all sudanese leaders did wrap some holy dust somewhere in their vicinity, sudan would have become a great nation. just like America! or even better!
shall be back soon.
