I want to first preface by saying I mean absolutely no offense to men as a whole; I know that there are good ones, but this is just unfortunately bad behavior that I have noticed is too common among Sudanese men, and I want to bring attention to it in hopes of them changing and doing better.

Over the years, I have noticed that Sudanese men rarely hold each other or themselves accountable, even when their actions causes great harm to the women and children around them. There’s always an excuse or reason for doing so, or they simply just ignore it.

By actions, I mainly mean harming his wife and children emotionally (ex: marrying a second woman without her consent/permission or abandoning his children when he divorces his wife), financially (ex: being overly stingy with money when it comes to his immediate family but pouring everything he has into random distant relatives), and sometimes even physically or sexually.

It’s not only that there is no accountability, but in some cases they defend those same shitty men. I can’t count the amount of times in which a male relative does something shitty, my mom and I rightfully talk smack about him for doing so, and my dad or an uncle play devils advocate for him; its honestly insane and frustrating.

This lack of accountability isn’t only limited among male family members but also among male friends. How many times did I see Sudani men defend or stay cordial with male friends who harassed or harmed women or who spew misogynistic incel bs? Way too many to count.

On a more darker note, I know a friend who has a distant family member who is a known p3dophile that harmed children, but her family does nothing about him and stays quiet. He still gets invited to family functions and events as if he is some normal uncle.

This is how bad things can get when there’s a lack of accountability and consequences; evil pieces of shit feel they can get away with more and more heinous crimes and will stop at nothing until they get rightfully reprimanded. At the very least, these sort of people should get exiled from society and treated as if they’re dead, but even that is considered ‘too much and 3eib’ for us.

So I keep wondering, why is it that our men refuse to hold each other accountable? Are they not supposed to be our ‘protectors’? How do we expect our women and children to feel safe when most men stay silent?

I really dont know how to fix this but im sure islam is a fix but my community resisted islam for eo long they resist anything out side them منغلقين ،even now after accepting islam for the last decades still the community struggle alot to practice or get education.

اظن مشكلتنا الكبيرة في الشرق هي الانغلاق و غالبا انغلق المجتمع خوفا من التشتت و الضياع لانه كان في هجوم كبير على وجودنا في التاريخ من دول الجوار و حروب من زمن الفراعنة فالمجتمع رافض للاسلام رافض للتداخل مع المجتمعات حوله بدليل اننا عندنا الزواج من القبايل السودانية الاخرى و الاجانب حتى العرب يعتبر شي سيئ و الاهل برفضو اشد الرفض و بفتخرو بالرفض دا عندنا قصص في اسرتنا بفتخرو انو. حبوباتي رفضو يتزوجو شوام و عندنا قصص لتضليل عريس جعلي زوجوه بنت مواليد بدل البنت الخطبها يعني اهلنا باختصار عايشين في عالم موازي والله تماما زي عندنا نرجسية جمعية او شي بالشكل دا غايته ما اعمم كل الهدندوة لكن دا الجزء الشفته و عاشرته فترة وجودي في الشرق و اهلي و ازيدكم من الشعر بيت عندنا اغاني ضد الاسلام ولليوم ببتتورث و الناس بتغنيها و اهلنا غنوها لينا و احنا صغار اظن الاغنية دي تفسر كتير من الحالة العايشين فيها ناسنا ديل و كلماتها بالعربي :

هي عبارة عن محادثة بين عصفور و اخته في شجرة

الاخت تقول لاخيها

المسلم بلاء الم اقل لك

يضربك بالحجر و يرميك الم اقل لك

يشويك و ياكلك الم اقل لك .

طبعا الكلام دا خارم بارم و الاسلام دين حق و عدل لكن الاغنية دي بتقول الهدندوة حاسين بشنو حاسين انهم لو استسلمو و لو شوية و هم شايفين التداخل و قبول الدين استسلام هيحصل فيهم كدا... طبعا يمكن ناس تهاجم خلاوي همشكوريب ..الخ ايوة المجتمع اتقبل الاسلام ولكن مؤخرا و ما كل القبايل تمارس او تعلم شي عن الاسلام و ما زالو في طقوسهم القديمة القبل السلام او قبل التاريخ اصلا.

I miss sudan so much i used to live in sudan but i was ill i had severe dissociation and depersonalization it didnt affect my mentality but affected my perception about my surrounding so i feel my stay and experience of sudan wasnt full despite this i love sudan so much and i just want to re do it but im sure the war and all this struggle wont make it easy also my situation now i cant travel soon , im fully cured now so now when i see pictures from sudan i see it so beautiful and faces of people so peaceful and handsome and beautiful people i really want to reexperience sudan 😭😂 a crazy vent i know but anyhow this is how i feel. I hope one day we will see a better sudan and this can be if we all focused on fixing ourselves.

This footage from the drone developed by Turkish company Baykar. Each costs 2-5 million depending on model and munitions. This thing is huge. It it's 6.5 m long and has a 12 m (39 feet) wingspan. It can carry a 150 kg payload, travels at up to 120 knots at altitudes up to 27k feet.

I think Sudan is North Africa not east Africa. I wanna hear your opinions.
