America and Sudan By Abdulaziz Ali Omer
|
The sun kissed the colour of the Nile. With my friend I prayed somewhere in Khartoum. He took my hand and whispered look! It was a nice view of city lights. I was at peace. That peace enabled me to continue my disrupted writing because of being fettered by restraints of work. The 59th anniversary of Sudan independence has elapsed. We spent a day -first January with people we love for they achieved self-determination for the Sudan.Mich Albom, a novelist once wrote:" A day you spend with someone you love change everything. A day to listen, to love, to apologize and forgive. In fact, little has changed while we want everything to change. We need to listen to each other and to forgive one another as well as other fellow human beings. It angers me the extent to which dropped the U.S and Sudan bilateral relations. “....Sorry, we don’t need the congratulation of a man who doesn’t maintain the dignity of his family” . AbdulRhman Zoma wrote on the background of a presumed message of congratulation from a U.S dignitary addressed to Sudanese people on commemoration of recent independence instead of their president with intention of offending him at Zoma ‘s discretion. It was something didn’t conform to protocols, manners and taste, Zoma said. Then, he retorted by an expose of inappropriate behavior of same U.S top official’s daughter. I have also read a report about U.S military sexual assaults rise seemingly in retaliation against a report about mass-rape in Darfur that fomented a domestic outrage. Mahjoub Erwa brought back memories when he cited as an extract of late president John Kenndy greeting warmly Mr. Ebrahim Abboud former president of Sudan in 1961. His Excellency president John Kennedy hailed Sudan as the beating heart of Africa and as a nation whose Nile River matches in length and breadth the Mississippi. In 2014, the U.S cultural attaché in Khartoum served up a nice warm smile . She thought of Sudanese people as friendly and hospitable. I hope that the positive impression American cultural attaché and the wonderful reception of President John Kennedy to the old leadership of Sudan will dispel emotional ice and restore the radiance of the past diplomacy.
