Every Day but not some Glimpses into the everyday lives of Sudanese By Leoma Gilley


The novel reflects deep self devotion and exalt in the God; and represents features of a genuine faithful believer who entirely and absolutely depends upon the god in life. It also reveals a significant attitude that the author has not strong tendency towards instinct as a woman but all her feelings, emotions and sentiments are to please the God and her father and that is why whenever she prays for deliverance or salvation the Heaven's reply is immediate and clear.
The experiences that she faced are fuel to her faith and belief that the God is responsible of her life as she proves as an honest and loyal servant.
Living among Africans has another considerable philosophy to the writer that is to examine and practise brotherhood between Christians; which she is a highly remarkable example of love, equality and fraternity regardless of race or colour. 
The writer's experiences in the Sudan are important to the Sudanese more than other people because she has honestly explained and stated the positive and the negative qualities, customs and traditions of the Sudanese whether at home or office. However, if she had visited Darfur she would have witnessed a highly religious people as Darfur was the part that annexed to the Sudan (1916). She would find the tribes and peoples of that part of the Sudan living a civilized life that based on systems and organization of Kings and Sultans up to now.
Furthermore, the writer has been helpful to many tribes that have unwritten languages and still she is giving help to some tribe at Nuba hills of Kordofan as far as I know. Thus, her leave is a big loss to non Arabic tribes and peoples which are struggling to defend their right to land and history of grandfather.
The novel is a masterpiece and a juice of a distilled mind and passion presented to human beings of the twenty first century to get lessons from and school their societies that all religions have one message that a human whether white or black is elevated and respected by the God. Therefore, I think that Leoma has generously and graciously lighted on all African countries and peoples that she experienced and visited. And when I see her Africans I have a mental picture of the moon spreading its rays in the night to drive misery and depression of the day. Names of her cats are a call to the Sudanese that there no is superiority among as they share one land and nation.

Growing up in Darfur by Prof.Abdullahi ElTom

It is a story of an ambitious man who grew up in a civilized community. Civilized: because it has a vital social, economic, and political organization and religious life. These systems and traditions are stated in the novel as activities that normally and naturally practised by the members of that community; division of labour is essential in family life; “all children are dead silent listening to their parents discussing their plans for the day. It is important for them to listen carefully as it is now that all duties of the day are assigned. Alfatih is to go and open the shop…Saaeed is to release the goats and cows …Mahasin has to clean the teapots and glasses and complete sweeping the house yard. Neimat is to clean the pigeons’ cottage…” Politically, there is a local leader who rules the whole are with sub rulers under him, “ For uncle Ali is the most important man in the district. Mohammed says he is the chief just because his title is shartay but he is not right. Shartay...

A Point of View

This article was in 2008 after coming Obama as the first black president of the United States of America. It is beget that will drain the whole world. It began from the U.S.A with coming of a black president; flew to Tunisia , crept to Egypt and is active now in Yemen and Libya and perhaps in Syria . The first theatre of change is the Arab world, the next will the West as far as U.S.A again.    Tools of change are not the people of the western countries but the friends whom the west is assisting and supporting through NATO and USA .     These unwise actions have paved the road for Persians to the West: the road has two branches; the first is from Iran , Iraq , Syria , South Lebanon, Gaza , Egypt and Libya and then into Europe . The other branch is from Qatar , East of Saudi Arabia, Yemen , the Sudan and Libya and then into Europe .    When these roads and bridges are ready, the west will see and harvest the fruits of their policy towa...
