Beauty of Sudan 2 - The Transport

A Number of different transport vehicles common in Sudan - They represent the basics of Sudan's overall image.

This is the 'Hafla' or Mini Bus. Used mainly by workers and students and carries about 25-30 people. The Taxi - Yellow is our color

The 'Raksha' - This idea is stolen from India and it is very famous but extremely dangerous. It's a nice ride for small destinations. Using three wheels, you see the city really well and hope you get to your final destination safe! It is not allowed in main heavy streets and bridges.

The 'Dafar' - This does not look very nice and is the common vehicle used to transport goods and products. It has the loudest most uncomfortable noise! And contribtes a lot to pollution.

What it is...

I see Life like a rose in the ice... beautiful but with cold settings - There are so many incredible things out there - but we always need to fight and perservere against the hardships too... otherwise the cold will win ... and we will wither away.

My imagination has led me to believe in something called 'Sudan Fairytale' -
The fantasy that My country will one day be independant and proud, never selfsish to provide its people with its needs, give freedom and success to all, be forever committed to achieve a prosperous inhabitance to every Sudanese in their own country-

My eyes fail me and I see the truth which I call - 'Khartoum Heartbreak' - This is a theme running through the blog under the 'Khartoum Heartbreak' Poems and whatever else about Sudan conveying broken down love, poor streets and cut off electricity along with a lot of other decays and problems in Khartoum city Life.

But I love my country and so I have no choice but to merge the Pain and the Love as one.

Faith is my heart and I could never do without it hoping in my prayers that I can be someone better always and that God forgives me as I fall in Mistakes through that frozen path of Life...

Sometimes I feel under control with all the too many emotions that run to colour my days and nights - Books, movies, music, dreams, friends, family, strangers, travel, - reality - the 10 O' Clock news -Most of the time I'm very Lost in trying to understand - whatever happens becomes tangled into writing this confusing memoir -

It's a really odd combination of air - not sure whether it is refreshing or suffocating - stabilising or maddening - But I breathe and
so it is
'Memoirs of a Sudanese breath' as I am 'Lost but under control' -
