Sudanese... New post-war jobs
Moatinoon
Isnt necessity the mother of invention as they say? Yes. Perhaps that is what the Sudanese applied after the outbreak of this damning war between rapid support and the Sudanese army. With its outbreak, nothing is the same, as some peoples life system has completely changed. The economic situation is at the forefront of the changes and has caused many to look for new jobs and jobs to find sources of income that run their lives. "Citizens" talked to them and told their experiences.
Sabah Mohammed, an Arabic language teacher with five daughters, began her speech "Citizens": Years ago, after my husbands death, I took responsibility for my family from my monthly salary to manage it well and share "savings funds" with my colleagues. After purchasing our household items, I paid for the university fees, as two of my daughters enrolled in university and the others in school, which increases our expenses.
She adds to "citizens": but after the outbreak of the war and because of the salary cuts, we suffered a lot, especially after the expiration of consumables. Were waiting for the financial aid that comes to us from philanthropists or my brother. I thought about finding new work for me and my daughters, so I worked in "Selling incense and perfume for Sudanese women." At first I started buying from the market and then selling it after it was equipped for women inside the neighborhood. And then I started preparing it myself instead of buying it. Sabah continued: Although at the beginning of the work I found marketing and earning difficulties especially in the Sudanese economic conditions, I am dealing with some shops and now the work is fine, I am just thinking about having a source of income to meet the living needs.
Mohammed Omar, who works as an oil engineer at a petroleum company in Khartoum, now works as a juice seller in the market. Omar told citizens that the companys management transferred him after the war, along with some of his colleagues, to work in one of the companys branches in Darfur, but that he did not execute. He continued: "It was very difficult without his family or with him. Darfur is also insecure, preferring to settle in the islands jurisdiction. "For citizens," he said, "there was a need for new work to manage our lives during this war, at least," especially since everything he saves goes to the rent of the house. " Omar revealed to citizens: I was faced with many challenges at the outset. First, I am not familiar enough with trade and dealing in the market and I have no acquaintances or friends in the region, as well as the lack of customers, but almost a month and patience have improved.
Najla Omar, an English teacher, went on to sell henna, telling citizens: Fortunately I was interested in growing henna, and after the conditions the country was going through I had to sell it after grinding it to earn if little. "I sell one packaging for 100 pounds, and today I sell one or two packages and sometimes I dont sell permanently. Add: Nevertheless optimistic and I prefer to have a source of income that I rely on. Previously, she relied on pupils own salary and lessons.
Ali Mohammed Ahmed, a bus driver, says in the first period that he worked as a vegetable seller but found profit that did not cover his familys daily needs and moved on to selling beans and food. He told citizens that his daily income was much better than he had earned in leadership, especially with many levies and taxes imposed on them by the authorities.
Amna Hassan, an employee of one of the factories, says: "Work pancakes and bakes and distribute them to shops near the neighbourhood and in the market and sometimes sell from home." She adds hard work under constant power cuts, but when electricity is available, I try to do a reasonable amount to buy my familys needs.
