خالد البيه...رسام كاركتير سوداني يتحدث عنه العالم ونجهله!!!!!!

Quote: While the Arab Spring has led to considerable instability and uncertainty, Mr. Albaih continues to wield his pen as he surveys the region. “I hate it when people say it failed; it took the French Revolution 70 years to settle!” he said in a break from his jotting, which is part traditional ink on paper and part computer design. Born in Romania — his father was based there as a Sudanese diplomat — Mr. Albaih, 33, was exposed early in life to both hard-edge political and social issues, and cartoons. His father was fired by Sudan’s military government in 1989. His mother, an activist, campaigned against the practice of female genital mutilation in Sudan. “I love comics, and my dad used to bring home an Egyptian magazine called Sabah al-Kheir that heavily relied on cartoons,” he said in an interview that mixed English with Arabic. “It was amazing to me how effective cartoons were.” Signs of his creativity, and talent, were evident early on. One of the first characters he created as a child was “Supernamusa,” a superhero mosquito on a mission to rid Sudan and the world not of evil in general, but of malaria. “He was a hero fighting his own kind,” recalls Mr. Albaih, laughing. “Malaria was everywhere in Sudan!” He followed the work of many cartoonists, but his greatest inspiration was the Palestinian cartoonist Naji al-Ali, who was renowned for his criticism of Arab governments and the Israeli occupation of Arab lands, through his character Handala.
