A Tribute to Ex-President Field Marshal Nemiery

The 5th president of this great nation has bid this world his final salute, the Field Marshal (may god rest his soul) infamously known for his fathomless and undisputed reign as president of this great nation is (and no one may argue) the nation’s unequivocal national symbol, a feared tyrant for most though. Many may breath sighs of relief, but I salute this great man, because no matter how tyrannical his doctrine may seem, it is an honour to have witnessed such a powerful man’s life and to have learnt lessons of such magnitude.

Power, a struggle man seeks during a lifetime but humility and respect lasts an eternity; a life long lesson for all those hoping to overcome the shadows cast upon this dismal nation’s past and present.

Field Marshal Gaafar Nemiery
5th President of the Republic of Sudan
[1 January 1930- 30 May 2009]

At least they’re doing something!!!

Everyone in the world is aware of the air raids and current ground force strikes the Israelite military has been imposing upon Palestine. Well there’s a rumor that Israelite intelligence has been imposing a dosage of psychological warfare behind the scenes through anonymous phone call threats, just to break down the flaming rage and desperation for retaliation among the Palestinians. This rumor (whether true or not) has provoked a retaliation right here in Sudan!

I received several messages from a few friends urging me to call 00970828 followed by any five digits, this is the country and county code for Palestine and hence Gaza. A local radio station, Mango 96.0, seem to be the masterminds behind this scheme. The point to which is to boost the morale of all the victims and to neutralize the effects of the psychological warfare tactics imposed upon them.

However, on the flip-side(and I’d hate to sound cynical here) but this whole proposal seems to benefit the communication companies directly i.e. I smell a scam.

Anyhow scam or not I don’t mind sacrificing a few Sudanese Pounds because, hey! that’s the best I can do for now.

The Sudanese Poverty Whirlpool (Intro.)

A rule of thumb in dictatorship; No matter how much power you gain never underestimate a population, so always apply worthy distractions to go along with your power play. When I first came to understand that, it was like swimming from murky to clear water, I could finally see clearer. Sudan has been dazed for so long in this forsaken cycle of poverty that they no longer know they’re actually in it (more accurately they have given into this standard of living).

The economic deficit that Mr. AlSadig Almahdi lead Sudan into proved his government was neither by the people nor for the people, a nation’s wealth circulating among a few close friends and family is indeed the main ingredient of its economic pitfall (a habit that remained with the following government). With the memory of General Nemiery’s impeachment fresh and vivid in the minds of the people, no one would doubt the fact that the climate for a coup was ripe, and by 1989  El Basheer’s regime grasped the opportunity.

Most of you know this story like the back of your hand, but my target is to trace the dents in our economy, and extract the main events in our nation’s unpleasant history in order to wise up  and live up to the full potential of greatness Sudan is vowed to reach. Following this piece will be a series of political, sociological and economical analysis, stay alert for the upcoming entries.

Bush meets ‘Boot’

It was only a matter of time before someone would to try such a stunt. Muntader al-Zaidi, 28, paid a lot for his action in a country Bush claims to uphold the freedom of speech for all. For god’s sake not even during Saddam’s days would someone get his ribs bashed in on international television, some perverted freedom that is!

A broken left arm and broken ribs were a result of the public battery he received not to mention the damage to his groin, he’s one brave and tough guy.

As much pain he’s received, he’s gained much more in fame and fortune, a Saudi millionaire just offered to buy his infamous shoes for only… 10 MILLION DOLLARS! I guess if we really want a solution for the global financial crisis we should just toss more boots at Bush.

BACK IN BUSINESS!

I haven’t given this blog much consideration for a while; however, I shall be dropping topics more than often from now on. Those new to this blog (and those rare few who actually read it before), I can’t make any promises but I can only promise you that I won’t let my emotions cloud the facts (wink wink!).

Sudan is a Piñata full of Oil

It has come to my notice the great resembalance between Sudan’s current condition and a pinata. The whole western world keeps bashing the Sudanese goverment and unwillingly torturing the Sudanese citizens with punishments assumed to be for the goverment. The point is the goverment does’nt seem to feel the heat as much as we the citizens do, as far as they are concerned they still keep cashing in their checks and cash from peace treaty to peace treaty and endless made reasons for them to get their payment…

Recently France and Britain have threatened to impose more punishments upon Sudan( as if we lack any punishments) , the concept of these punishments is to force the people to move and do something about their own goverment, (see the irony in that!). So we keep hoping the solution for this goverment could come from the outside, but all the help they could provide us with is to notice that we are the solution.

The people of Sudan have proven to be the most vexatious population to control when unwilling to cooperate, for example lets look at what happened to General Gordon, Lord Kitchener, General Mohammed Gaafar Nimeiry and the list goes on… We have become concerned too much with insignificant issues that we forget to take a look at the big picture and the conditions we are living in.

We are so concerened with digging our enemy’s graves that we can’t even get out of it now, and after all this time we had been unwillingly digging our own graves. So people wake up and work together to get ourselves out of this hole.
