Latest unfortunate Events

I have nothing much to say about what's happening outside. Living in Al Tayif one thought that all the drama won't reach these areas but you can still feel the tension in the air.

Today, ATMs were either "out of service", "out of money" or simply "closed". Pharmacies and corner shops were open but just for a little while till sunset when everything shuts down as a precaution.

Christian Graveyard

I'm absolutely in love with cemeteries, as showing respect to the dead is the least you can do for the ones who have gone.

This is a Catholic cemetery which has blown me away with its beauty and cleanliness.

To Church on Sunday

In Khartoum the city of paradoxes, Sunday church is a once in a life time experience. These are some photos of the church I went to, unfortunately it was busy and I wasnt able to take pictures of the inside.

Khartoum War Cemetery II

More photos to enjoy..

Khartoum War Cemetery I

Right in the middle of the Capital and in the very heart of all the hustle and bustle of Khartoum lies this hidden piece of forgotten history.

Khartoum War Cemetery is one of the must visit places here, it is right next to St Francis School in Khartoum off Africa street. It explains the role of The Sudan in the East Africa War 1940-1941. This cemetery can be mistaken and seen as a graveyard, however, the real graves were moved somewhere else and their tombs were left as a memorial. 

The remembrance day this year is on the 10th of November which will be a Sunday so don't forget to show your support and remember all the brave soldiers who lost their lives at this devastating event in the human history.
