I found this wonderful song that made me cry
http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/blogs/gems/sudansong/Track01.mp3
asked her to tell me her story she started by looking away – gazing back into that darkness when she knelt to pray. the planes dropped the bombs before daybreak - the janjaweed stormed with the dawn. those who could fled to the forest to hide till they’d gone. returning to ruins by moonlight she found she was orphaned and then - there they began their exodus out of sudan.
her husband, ali, gently warned her “if worse comes, don’t try to save me.” you must survive with the children, so hide quietly. the next day the janjaweed raiders caught up and took all of the men she watched herself widowed while guarding their sleeping children - then into the infinite star skies mother and children took flight through storming sands they crossed into chad from sudan
(bridge) his love for her keeps her going while her love for him keeps her calm - smiling when she says his name. like a prayer for sudan.
now as i write you her story - magboula rocks under the tree no food for the child she cradles – staring at me. what will it take to remember - what we said we’d never forget. never again, is now, once again in sudan. never again, is now, once again in sudan. – like a prayer for sudan
[bamanankan background vocals]
let’s pray to get out of the dark. some people made a plan and dropped a bomb. let’s take the children and run away. woman gets scared by a lot of bad things. woman, let’s hid your children. fighting, fighting, stop fighting, stop fighting. people get up from sleeping oh suda, sudan it will never happen again god will not make it happen again it will never happen again let’s pray for sudan never happen again stop fighting stop fighting fighting ruins everything.

Dear Anwar,
I think many sudanese are not up the event, I mean with all their feelings, although mentally they are aware of the mangitude of the disaster.
I have translated the song to arabic
