Sudan... Hint of the soreness of displaced women
Sana Abedin
During this week, I heard a group of women forced by the war in Khartoum to displace to Kassala State.
In this eastern city, I heard tales and facts at a session orchestrated by SIHA network (NGO on Womens Issues in the Horn of Africa), which served as a consultative meeting of the organizations Kassala branch to unite the agenda to develop an action strategy for the protection of womens rights.
Some of the women displaced to the city of Kassala participated in this meeting to escape the scourge of war, and the coordinators of the meeting intended to be present and participating in this two-day meeting.
What I heard from displaced women exceeded my perceptions of what happened in Khartoum as a result of the war that broke out on April 15.
Some of the meetings served as a lightning rod for displaced women, intimidation and participation. Stories and stories were like fiction each of them had a tale, attitude, questions about the future and fear of the unknown and with each situation running down tears.
A mother rushed to the street with the first bullet and did not care, looking for her son who went to his school, another who jumped from the high-rise architecture floors for fear of possible fascist rape, and a third who could not provide a simple meal for her children in the absence of her husband, who had been missing since the outbreak of the war.
Among the women who have been unable to complete her story, the lesson blocks her throat and lets her tears go, she wash away some of this anguish. We who listened to them cried and cried.
In the midst of this emotion, sorrow and emotional state, I had a glimmer of hope, when the coordinators tried to soften the atmosphere and sow hope in souls by playing a song by the artist Hannan Alneel as she prayed (O Country of Light, Good Land, A Packer Day must remain last).
It is Gods great hope that this war will be wiped out politically and that the conflicting parties will heed what the weapons have done to these victims.
