Quote: Among the wooden shacks and corrugated tin huts that line the dusty streets of Dadaab, shops peddle all manner of electronic goods and services.
In one of these huts, a young man sits at a computer updating his Facebook status and keeping on top of his emails.
Moulid Iftn Hujale is getting ready to leave Dadaab for the first time since he came from Somalia in 1999.
He recently won a scholarship to study journalism in Khartoum, Sudan but it has been a long struggle.
His arrival in the camp was one of the lowest points in his life.
"Our father died of a prolonged sickness, we could not take him to hospital, we fled from where we lived and were separated from our mother."
Arriving at the camp without his parents he faced stigma from people who assumed he and his siblings were orphans or abandoned children, born out of wedlock.
"But there we found peace, there was no gunfire and there was some sort of tranquillity," he says.
He was able to go to school and focused his energy on his studies. Three years later his mother made it to the camp. It was a dramatic moment, he remembers.
"My younger sister came to me in the school. I could tell that she had good news and immediately I saw my mother running through the main gate."
"My mum's tears were like water flooding and made my uniform wet."
Walking around the school where he spent his childhood he points to the trees under which classes were held.
"When it rained we could not learn under these trees.. We used to go home."
Now there is a huge tent to shelter children in the rain.
Mr Hujale is one of the few to head to university from Dadaab, but even with his good fortune the reality of being a refugee sometimes dawns on him.
"Living in Dadaab you can never forget that you will always be defined as a refugee," he says.
"If you are a degree-holder and living as a refugee in the camp, you can't get a job outside because you are a refugee. If you work in the camp you get paid very little money. It cripples our potential." |

قياساً على هذه البادره الإنسانية، هل يمكن أن نسمع عن منح دراسية كاملة (سكن و إعاشة) لطلاب من معسكرات اللاجئين ( داخلياً) فى دارفور؟
هل يمكن أن ينصب اهتمام الحكومة بالأكثر حوجة و أقل تنمية، فى مسيرها نحو دولة العدالة الاجتماعية و التنمية المتوازنة؟
يشكل التعليم حجر الزاوية فى عملية تقسيم الثروة و السلطة. خرجيين اليوم هم ( وزراء، سفراء، ... أطباء) الغد. الشئ الذى يوزع السلطة و من ثم تتم
بواسطة هولاء نفسهم عملية التنمية و تقسيم الثروات. فالتعليم الغير متوازن يؤدى إلى خلل فى كل المناحى.
هنا لا أعترض على المنحة الدراسية للطلاب من دول أخرى ففيها الكثير من الفوائد.
لكن أتساءل، أليس من الأولى تطبيق نفس النهج على البائسين من أهل هذا الوطن، كى تفتح لهم الفرص ليغيروا حياة أهلهم و يطوروا بواديهم
( معسكراتهم فى معظم الأحيان)؟؟؟؟؟؟

Irrespective, of what is going on in Sudan. In spite of crises and injustice in Sudan, I see some hope at least for this young man. His story is about human struggle and hope. The description of his mother’s tears flooding and wetting his uniform is heart breaking. Sudan used to be a beacon of hope for thousands of refugees. Let us rejoice during such dark times, Sudan is still giving hope to some.

محمد جاد كريم تحياتى و شكراً على هذه الروح النقية. نعم كانت للسودان مواقف مشهودة لازلنا نجنى ثمارها. لازال الكثير من الأخوة خصوصاً من ( الصومال، ارتريا، ...) يحمل لنا من الاحترام و التقدير، ما لا يمكن تصديقه. لازلنا فى نظر الكثيرين البلد الذى أعطى و الناس الطيبة..
كما تفضلت، قصة هذا الشاب موحية و مؤلمة فى نفس الوقت. لذا اشعر بالسعادة لأجله. و أتمنى من أن نجد دائماً لأمثاله طوق نجاة و مستقبل عريض. فقط أحببت أن نتعامل مع قليلى الحظ من أهل السودان بشئ من القلب الكبير و الاهتمام..
مودتى
