Sudanese Knights: 04/29/07
http://sudaneseknights.blogspot.com/2007_04_29_archive.html
Aid worker in Sudan. Sunday, April 29, 2007. Another dust storm. This one meant my flight couldn't take off today. When you see it you know why. Electricity went off, the dust obscured the sun, the world went dark, the doors were shut and the dust still steamed in and condensed on everything. Links to this post. Nothing lost, nothing gained. I was with the Logistician and the Driver, and I suddenly realised that they looked nearly as sad as I felt inside. What was in the bag? Links to this post. Sitting ...

Sudanese Knights: Daily Bread
http://sudaneseknights.blogspot.com/2007/04/daily-bread.html
Aid worker in Sudan. Saturday, April 07, 2007. I remember someone telling me once that if you have a bank account you are in the top 10% (or was it 1%? Of wealthiest people on this earth. It enables you to save or borrow money. You can manage your money and make plans for the future. Such ways of being are completely ingrained into me, since opening my first piggy bank account at the age of 5 and having to decide which sweets to buy with my pocket money, or saving up for a Michael Jackson tape. However, ...

Sudanese Knights: 07/04/07

Aid worker in Sudan. Wednesday, July 04, 2007. This is a post I wrote in Darfur, and then later removed from the blog, with a justifiable nod to paranoia. Caution was advisable as I wrote about the open secret of the Sudanese government's support to Chadian rebels in Darfur. Not only did the rebels roam the town like they owned the place, but they were happily recharging their batteries in the Sudanese government's office - HAC. Hamdullah’ was quietly uttered.

Sudanese Knights: The Big Questions
http://sudaneseknights.blogspot.com/2007/05/big-questions.html
Aid worker in Sudan. Tuesday, May 15, 2007. So why was everyone around me so stressed? Hmm, The Big Questions, like ‘What to give the girl who has everything for Christmas? 8217; How about a job in humanitarian aid…. Like all good Big Questions there are no answers. Anyway, I’m too busy organising things and getting things done, and being grown up, and not wanting to appear naïve, to worry about big questions all the time. But sometimes I do miss the daily wonderment of being little. New Seed of Sudan.

Aid worker in Sudan. Sunday, April 29, 2007. Rest and Relaxation, Recuperation, Rehabilitation, Reconstruction, Reintegration…. Wow, you’ve got a nice shower, do you have hot water?

Sleeping, eating, swimming, eating, drinking. Eating more, having a haircut, general MOT! Physical reconstruction and social reintegr...

Sudanese Knights: Life’s Ceremonies
http://sudaneseknights.blogspot.com/2007/05/lifes-ceremonies.html
Aid worker in Sudan. Tuesday, May 15, 2007. When the Sunday sun sets I imagine all these lives irrevocably changed by all these ceremonious beginnings, and endings. I lie under my mosquito net hoping the electricity holds out just a little longer, and the mangoes don’t clud onto me as I sleep. The red sky will wake me up at 6.30, after I’ve slept through allah akbar at allah only knows what time. Goodnight. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). International Crisis Group - Sudan.
