  • Hatem and Mohammed are two Sudanese inventors determined to stop the desert from swallowing up their country. They are obsessed with drones and robots and even though they are isolated by international sanctions and frustrated by a failing economy they succeed in building Sudan’s first robot farmer.
    They decide to take part in a local inventor’s television competition to raise awareness and investment in their dream - Sudan’s first and only agricultural drone company. Their drone can plant trees, increase harvests and reduce crop damage. And they are bound by their shared belief that Africa can change its destiny with technology.

    Thank you Al Jazeera for bringing this information to all parts of the world.
    Hatem & Mohammed are the ultimate illustration of hardwork and more hard work. If people had this approach to life the world would be better: trying to come up with solutions to help your nation not waiting for a saviour or so!!!!
    Keep up the good work,,, so inspiring.

    Really you did a great job. Congrats from my heart. Who said we are lazy nation? We are as sudanese very proud of you as well as what you achieve. We are waiting in northern state to see your drone throwing Acatia seeds in suitable places to combat desertification . In other words, we are looking desperately for your invention output. Congratulations again.

    Can they make glass with this sand? Perhaps they could make non reflective solar panel glass, purchase solar cells, assemble and test them and begin selling them for a great local price, helping to turn the problem of sand into an opportunity to create solar power in part from the desert sand. Seed planting drones are even better when solar charged. :D

    • @annakeye
      @annakeye 6 лет назад +1

      *+sanjuansteve*
      Sounds like a great idea. At least, in theory. Even if the sand was suitable for glass manufacturing, the sanctions have made it really difficult to get not just infrastructure in place but to important any materials that they need just at the _research&development_ stage of the game. Whilst most other nations are prattling on about free markets etc., the very same nations are behind the sanctions that stop a free market environment in Sudan, North Korea and a few other places. Sudan has a massive desertification problem, a massive refugee problem and the inability to import materials and technology. There's also their own government regulations to contend with. Mohammed mentioned that this entire thing has taken him considerably longer than it would've if they didn't have to make everything by hand and learn off the internet. Good on them though.

    • @sanjuansteve
      @sanjuansteve 6 лет назад

      Solar charged seed planting drones could help with the desertification. Solar cells can also be sandwiched btw 2 pieces of glass and the panels could be used as partially transparent solar panel ceilings/roofs.

    • @Worldofourown2024
      @Worldofourown2024 6 лет назад +4

      Yep, the 3rd world countries are rough and impoverished not because they lack potential, but because of oppression of the globalist macro economic and political holding them back making them out to be primitives to be exploited while they're lands are geo-engineered and plundered by multinational corporations often only to be kicked under the bus with unnecessary wars benefiting the big money Western establishment with more power in winner takes all. This is why they struggle working very hard just to attain hardware parts and basic essentials for supply is lacking in economies where money and resources are exported (stolen by sell outs) instead of used wisely.

  • @Tounushi
    @Tounushi 6 лет назад +5

    What would be the logistics of you know... simply scooping all that sand and shipping it off for whatever sand is used for? Al-Jazeera had a video article about sand running out as a resource. Why not invest in infrastructure to utilize sand that's threatening desertification? Or is it the wrong kind of sand?

    • @YY-xz6mv

    • @MohammedMuaawia
      @MohammedMuaawia 6 лет назад

      Much easier said then done. We're talking about the 5rh most corrupt country in the world where less than a quarter of roads are paved, highly unlikely that any infrastructure will be built without foreign investment.

    • @Tounushi

      Foreign investment being exactly what I was implying.
