Experts have no solution. I have no solution. The solution is the people, the resistance committees, the soul of a nation that refuses to be crushed under the heel of their own despots…

The war in Sudan, the genocide being committed in Darfur, the pain of witnessing the disintegration of your homeland under the shroud of invisibility is a pain doubled, tripled in its burden. I wish this on no one. May Allah ease all our burdens, inshallah.

These excerpts are from The Economist’s most recent piece on #Sudan. It goes to show how dire the situation is that I am grateful for every scrap of media our country is able to get.

Text reading: Sudan has the world's largest number of internal refugees. About 6.3m have been displaced since April alone, adding to the 3.7m Sudanese who had already fled their homes in previous conflicts and the 1.1m foreigners who had taken refuge in Sudan. Some 1.4m Sudanese have tled to neighbouring countries since the war began Aid agencies say that more than 6m people are *one step away from famine". Two decades after ethnic cleansing in Darfur, a region in the west of the country about twice the size of Britain, there is again credible evidence of genocide by the rs, which metastasised from the Janjaweed militia that slaughtered black Africans in the
20005. And things could soon get worse. In recent weeks the RSP has chalked up several major victories. Military analysts suggest it could try to take the rest of the country. Conflict monitors fear more genocidal violence. For those paying attention, the stakes are only getting higher.

It is one thing to suspect your people do not matter, another to live it, to be reminded of it, to see it in the faces of those who ask ‘how your year has been’. Do you mention the war, the devastation, your grief? Or do you smile, say fine, talk about the weather?
