Lived for four years in Khartoum, in the eighties. Went to Comboni College. Best days of my life. Love the country. Such a shame about the coups, battles and overall insecurity nowadays. Beautiful people, left a lot of friends down there.
we hope you enjoyed your time in Sudan ..We know that Sudan is difficult especially for tourists and foriengers ..Thank u for visiting Sudan ..hope u come back one day in better condition ..pray for Sudan🙏
I don't know how I bumped into your channel, (I watch a lot of youtube traveler videos) but I absolutely love your videos, mannerisms, and the way you interact with the locals. I subscribed immediately. Keep up the good work!
The positive side of this video-visit to Khartoum....thank you... Is to be living in Strasbourg France. We have to appreciate our place and not always to think that elsewhere is better 😊
@@jayeff6712 Yes….They also never questioned that I regularly escaped and went across the road to swim in the Sudan Club pool. I was 7 years old and no adult in sight ,I could have drowned.
"Sudan is expensive" Meanwhile the population of Sudan will go from 45 million today to 100 million by 2060 This looks like a total nightmare. I wish them all the best
These are just population projections, sudan won reach 100 million by then thats crap. Also its not a civil war its a power struggle between two military factions
Every thing is nice but next time it's good to have some candies for a kid . So cute kids, you have to have always something for children when you visit these countries , and I think since the gasoline is expensive there , 1 dollar for rickshaw is very cheap. These two words -cheap and expensive ,you can hear many times in this video💕
Hey you I am admired the way you edited the video covering the raw life of Sudanese with no make up and the invitations you accepted and greeting were in natural way. And the negotiations and the escape art with the shopkeepers and drivers you bet are so so true. And of course the locations like market, nursery, bus stand, tuk-tuk stop and the very your instant opinion on the visa centers, hotel views, etc., etc. Especially you madam who disagreed to have a tea on the road-side shop is quite natural as most women prefer to stay reserved on their style and comfort in a hygienic way. Expensive, expensive, expensive you would have told at least 10 times shows it's really costly. Your immediate response to the child beggars at times of no money in your hand. But one opinion over the "Calling of Prayer" through loud speaker in Egypt felt screaming for you shouldn't have been generalized. The word scream degrades. However you opinioned whole-heartedly. The word "Sudan means Safe" is no more good and very particularly Khartoum is in danger today.
That interaction with the little girl was just… so weird. I cannot imagine the depths of poverty someone has to be in to tell their kid to go up to a stranger and grab onto their leg. Also with those prices no wonder the grocery store is empty. Where do normal people get food?
it's because those santicions we had for so long sudan was just starting to show its potential once sanctions were lifted and the revolution happened but then there was a coup and now a war pretty sad story but sudan can overcome it and become great
There one fact that everyone know around the world that Sudanese peoples are the most dignified nations with high integrety and and anti-corruption , and kindness. However in the same time their government are not thats why its messed.
The people look absolutely miserable & are blatantly unfriendly. Guys at the beginning of the video looked at you (as a foreigner) with disgust. Thank you for the video; confirms my disinterest in Sudan.
I think that the glaring underdevelopment is a result of decades of US sanctions. Sanctions are sometimes worse than war, they can devastate an entire country's economy and cripple its health sector. Praying for peace for Sudan. 💪
@@SafetyBriefer They're not terrorists, unlike a certain country between Canada and Mexico which has terrorised more than 50 countries since the end of World War II.
@@SafetyBriefer You wrote, "Then they should stop being terrorists", in response to my assertion that US sanctions had wrecked Sudan and more than 50 other countries, which is a fact known to historians and human rights organisations. By saying that, you were justifying the well documented terrorism practised by countless US regimes in different parts of the world over the decades since 1945. You were implying that Sudan is a land of terrorists, and they deserved the painful US sanctions that starved Sudan of crucial tools for development, including medical supplies, leading to countless preventable deaths. Well, YOU are justifying these tragedies with that silly statement of yours. I have nothing further to say to you until you say something intelligent.
Well done Thanks for your Visiting Khartoum by the way we've professional assistance from Airport for helping Visitors with their cars if you asked for that. Sorry for young girl that pegging you she isn't from Sudan that small girls gatherings In Afraa Mall not Sudanese kids but from different Countries like #Nigeria. Best Regards
what a peaceful and lovely place full of culture! completely unlike the US where we have to worry about mass attrocities and have no culture or spice in our food. i would love to move there someday!
Is trash littering the streets a sign of "under-development" or simply a lack of hygiene? You don't need to de developed to arrange an organized system of garbage collection and disposal. Khartoum is the capital and if that is viewed as "undeveloped" what about the rest of the country?
feeling bad about the language buddy lol noone loner with English once left school😢. For upcoming future you will see alots of change specially the English to understand us very well.
@@MyExpatDiary do you expect them to have aliexpress prices when they still have to import them be for real, you’re prolly paying next to $10 for them in a first world country 😭
I also condemn the decades long U.S. sanctions imposed on not just Sudan but also on other countries around the world! Decades long bullying, thievery, hostility, sanctions, wars on the already impoverished, underdeveloped, small countries with no way to resist or oppose foreign intervention into their internal affairs…
@Super Saiyan , the so called “dictators” of the these countries did not place the sanctions on themselves! U.S. did! I am not trying to defend dictatorship as a way to govern a country. I don’t like monarchies either… Even the constitutional monarchies like the U.K. is unacceptable in my book but at least it is a step in the right direction… I would like to see a democratic civilian government in every country. I condemn any intervention of any kind coming from the outside by the foreigners through their intelligence agencies like the CIA as it has been witnessed/experienced for decades especially in Latin America and elsewhere around the world. I condemn all U.S. military installation/bases in other countries as part of a U.S. Military expansionism, bullying, thievery, hostilities, wars, colonialism , imperialism… I condemn U.S. playing the role of “big brother” in every country.
Sadly, Sudan has been through 15 coups since gaining independence in 1956. Also, there’s been several civil wars, killing over 1.5 million people, and splitting the country up. It’s a mess, and I don’t see it improving anytime soon.
Hopefully, From now on, hopefully many, many, many more people will finally believe the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ and finally be saved and have everlasting life. Amen. Love.
As if youre living in heaven, theres rubbish in NY and paris. And just cuz some folks cant speak english doesnt mean theyre illiterate its like you cant speak arabic😂😂

"Sudan is expensive"

Hi thanks for this video, I really want to visit Sudan soon and this video explains it very well. When can you visit Myanmar?
Frightening that just in some few days a whole capital and maybe the whole Sudan lost civilisation.

You chose rather expensive hotel, you went to the only and most expensive shopping mall in whole Sudan so no wonder that wasn’t cheap.
Ahhh . The thumbnail hit me hard . This was near my house before the ongoing war
