where i be

Apologies for starting this blog with a not so personal thing but I fear i might not paint an accurate picture of Sudan, so I tried to choose a fair and non-manipulated description of where I am. If ur not Sudanese, its hard to know much.

Sudan would be more accurately described as a mini-africa, with over 300 tribes and 100 languages. Built where the two Niles meet, Khartoum is one of the more modern capitals in Central Africa, with paved roads, high-rise buildings and all the services you might want or need. Some travellers consider it nothing but a dusty, congested and joyless (nightlife is nearly nonexistent) stopover. But those looking to uncover its culture will appreciate what they find when they start walking around. Besides, its people are hospitable, the riverside setting is attractive and it’s one of the safest cities in Africa – so for one reason or another most people end up liking it here. Lonely Planet.
