Style

Sudanese revolution of 2018/19 Albaih wrote in Aljazeera: [2]

Coming from Sudan, a country that is both located in Africa and part of the Middle East, I carry the baggage of one of the most “complicated” areas in the world. That’s according to the western narrative – as if the west were not one of the main complicating factors in the region.[3]
