إلى مانوت الآخر الذي كان جزءً عزيز من حياتنا .... وسيظل خالدا في جوانحنا
لم نشعر أبدا بانه كان غريبا ...... نسدر في تيه شعورنا لنعي نظرته الحزينة في زمن لاحق
هذه القصة كتبها ابني وضاح في العام 2011 كواجب مدرسي
إهداء مني لمانوت القائد وأبنه مانوت .... ولمانوت ابني واخ ابني ..... واخونا الذي ترعرع بيننا
Manoute : the special blessing
He had been part of our lives for a very long time. I still remember him carrying me on his back; accompanying me to the shop and the youth club near the house. Out of my mother’s 17 siblings, Manoute was the only person my age in my grandmother’s house where we spent our summer vacation every year in Omdurman, a city west of Khartoum.
As the days passed, my friendship with Manoute grew rapidly. During my holidays he used to show me all around the city. Manoute was a fervent admirer of the art of basketball. I was touched by his passion; he, therefore, started teaching me the rules and fundamentals of the game in the rusty neighborhood court. His passion for the game was driven by his spiritual, superlative model: his uncle Manoute Bol, the famous Sudanese American basketball player. He was proud to be named after him, and to look so much like him. He dreamed of one day being able to travel to America.
From both Manoute and my uncle Osman I learned that Manoute originated from an area where there was civil war and tribal unrest in the southern part of Sudan. He was found in a refugee camp in Abyea by my uncle Osman while working for UNICEF at that time. He described the camp as an area largely affected by famine, which held more than 5000 child refugees who lived in hunger and suffered from malnutrition and various other deficiencies. He also stated that there was hardly any place to sleep in the camp, and that the corpses of children attracted stray dogs which fed on the little meat on the corpses. The bond between Manoute and my uncle during his stay in the refugee camp grew strong, and at the age of 8, Manoute was taken to Khartoum to live with my family. From that time on, he was considered a member of the family. My grandfather took him to school where he began his studies. He showed a great desire to learn and succeeded to be the top of his class.
During my last summer vacation in Sudan, I greatly missed Manoute. His shadow was following me around the big house, and it was then that I remembered how sad his glance was. His story always reminded me of many fictitious tales narrated in places all over the globe about lost children; stories about an unhappy childhood, separation from family, friends, culture and one’s own people and race.
This story relates to the suffering of children and disintegration of families during war, and the intolerable conditions these children face due to political issues. Many children around the world live in a condition similar to Manoute’s due to invasions and unrest in their countries. Warfare everywhere has transformed into a brutal act of genocide, no longer following any of the rules set by international law. Consequently, intelligent children with great expectations like Manoute may end up in a refugee camp with a life expectancy that does not exceed 15 years.
Later I found out that despite all the effort made by our family, Manoute had to be evacuated from Omdurman and sent to the South due to the recent separation of North and South Sudan.
