Sudan: Every Move Is a Blessing

For the past 18 months, my wife and I have been happy to call Sudan our second home. Everywhere we traveled throughout the country, people kindly welcomed us and expressed their deep interest in the United States of America. This is not only in Khartoum State; I have seen this in Darfur, Jazeera, Sinnar, River Nile, and Red Sea States as well. We had been told by friends who served in Sudan that Sudanese are among the friendliest people on earth, and we found this to be true from our very first day here.

Now, sadly, my wife and I have to leave this beautiful country due to personal commitments, but our love for the Sudanese people and culture will continue. We will continue listening to our favorite Sudanese musicians, such as Wad Al-Amin, Al-Balaabil, Salah Brown, Mohamed Ali of Sudan Roots, and Igd Al-Jilaad, and I really hope my wife will take the recipes for Shaiya and Aseeda back with her.
