A migrant’s dilemma: stay or leave?
Okay… maybe I’ll regret this decision later but right now, I just can’t wait to get back home! I have decided to terminate my permanent contract and leave all the comfort and security that the west presumably provides, and head back home to southern Sudan, a place where there are no roads, no clean running water, no electricity and no proper hospitals!
I must admit it was not an easy decision to make. I wrestled with the dilemma for more than 12 olympic rounds, but the final decision was in favour of returning to the place I call home.
Once I arrive Juba, I’ll keep you posted and will try to give you my views on several matters. As for now, wish me the very best and let me know if you think I have gone nuts!

way to go…
Hey, welcome! It is a great decision in life. There will always be a time when you have to choose.
You are on the right track, pal.
Great Decision.
South Sudan needs you. I’m looking forward to going there next summer for an internship!
thnx kizzie…
if i’m town by then, i might show you around if possible.
Sudan,
I don’t know how I feel about the documentary. It’s hard to phrase
kizzie…
I did not know what to think myself, maybe because I guessed how bad it was. You should remember this was shot by an Arab journalist and we can not point blame fingers on the USA or Israel anymore for anything. Those women could not make stories up… the political issue aside, how can you do something like that to another fellow Sudanese? Even worst, the victims like the the criminals are Muslims…
In case you are wondering what Kizzie and I are talking about, it’s about this documentary:

Kizzie, did you read/listen to what the film maker had to say? He is pissed…
