Dear brothers and sisters members of the board. Greetings from a new comer. I have been thinking for somtime to join your board and participate in the discussions taking place and here I am, Allow me to introduce myself I am using the nickname Zahgandeema not because I would like to hide my identity but for a different reason. I believe we Sudanese have a problem focusing on labeling people, and personalizing issues. Instead of looking in neutral and impartial way to what some body is saying or writing we always focus on the "label", who is this guy ?, is he from the North or South?, to what tribe he belongs and so on. The result is always a somewhat biased or clouded or distorted judgment. I will come to this topic later.
For now let me explain why I choose this nickname Zahgandeema. It is because I feel there is a level of Zahag that is always there, no matter what I do. It results from having to live outside Sudan. I never wanted or liked living abroad I was forced to leave Sudan and that is the cause of my Zahag. I feel like a fish that is slowly dying because it is taken outside water and no matter what I do and how good I feel there is always some degree of Zahag that never goes away. I hope I will be able to make a positive contribution to the board. Zahgandeema

Brother Zomrawi and WadalBalad Thanks for your welcoming messages. Do not get me wrong, I am not at all pessimistic, on the contrary I am hopeful and working hard for a new Sudan.
