This man and This Woman.

As we celebrate the 46th anniversary of Sudan's independence, we should look back and think about the regimes and rulers who made independence meaningless and demeaned the lives of millions of Sudanese people who deserve to live lives of dignity and worth and entitlement.
16 years of these 46 were under one of these rulers. Here he is:

This dictator is responsible for the poverty and misery of this woman and her struggling family:

Real independence is nothing less than providing each and every family in our country with dignified living conditions and opportunities to fulfill the potential of each and every child.

AO,
No doubt it is a moving story when read by a nonSudanese.
However, when Numeiry was toppled seventeen years ago, Fatima was 21 years old and if she was married by then, she would have no more than a child and that child should of course be Siham. Therefore, Numeiry is not the culprit; who is the cuplrit?
