 Re: Soul Prostitution (Re: مزن ابوعبيدة النيل)

now, i work in an organisation where there is genuine representation of the international community, especially countries from the third world.
every time i go to work, i meet people who are originally from the third world. africa, the middle east, asia..etc..etc.
a few of them were born here, in this european country. but all of them speak very good english, and of course their mother tongues.
many of them have become citizens of this country by naturalization.
as professionals, we have our own common room in the place of work.
we would chat and talk about many issues. from language and lingistics, to international affairs.
but our main theme would be the plight of peoples in the third world. especially in africa. in my case, sudan, my country of origin. the origin of species a la darwin!
this is not a joke. or a play on words. no. this is the reality of the world today. in this day and age as they say in the cliche.
many of us, those professionals i am talking about, have migrated or forced to leave their countries. many of them were refugees.
some arrived here as early as 1960s.
the reality of the world today is that, there are first class countries. premiership, if we borrow the football parlance!
and there is "bottom of the league of nations club", including many if not all african nations.
whenever africa comes to mind, images of wars, famines, epidemics, natural disasters, and man-made catastrophies come to the fore.
as if this continent has become synonymous with conflict and death and despair.
and this equivalence is not altogether untrue or exaggerated.
no. take for an example sudan, my country of origin.
civil war in the south
civil war in the west
and the east
and destittution
and poverty of large scale.
and hate.
even people started to hate themselves. and resorted to metaphysics and escapism. young people
(have become either fanatics, or hedonistics( drugs, women
and poverty is crushing what is left of their individuality or independence.
well, some people might think that we are just talking politics all the time.
we didn't choose to do so. if there were adequate economic conditions, and the minimum of freedom, people would have been pursuing their own economic advancement, and try to make things happen.
if people were reasonably autonomous from the state, things would have been different.
if the state were not monopolizing everything, from wealth to power to television, things would have been different.
how do you become an individual and have feelings of worth, when you die from hunger or disease or civil wars?
how do you pursue your own interests and hobbies while any gathering in the capital city is deemed a potential revolution!?
see.. individuality and control of your own destiny is not a theoretical matter, or an intellectual gymnastics!
the state in sudan is a totalitarian state. interfering in each and every aspect of civil life and civic living.

shall be back. Iman: i know you are busy. and your nice post about "friends" is claiming your time and energy!
but, please, give us a glance here in this post, which was created by a young and vivid mind; Muzan's
