Travel: Sudan


North Platte Bulletin (Dean Jacobs)

A short travel piece describing experiences in the Sudan, focusing mainly on the writer's encounters with local people.

Another consistent part of my conversations center on the west’s perception of Sudan.

“How do you get Sudan?” Or in other words, what is your impression of Sudan?

The Sudanese are very tuned into the west’s perception of the country and state of affairs. The people of Sudan are aware their government has given refuge to terrorist elements in the past, and are eager to tell the world that the ordinary people of Sudan do not support this.

Almost everywhere I go, people ask me if I have seen any terrorists?

I wouldn’t know a terrorist if I saw him or her, unless it was Bin Laden. I didn’t get into the conversation that everyone looks like a terrorist in Sudan, especially if you look at the images portrayed in the Hollywood movies.
