Revolution is not the only path to change Hatem Babiker Awad Al-Karim

 Revolution is not the only path to change Hatem Babiker Awad Al-Karim  In order for the Mahdist revolution to occur - it took more than sixty years (1820-1885) of Turkish mistakes and the accumulation of national resistance - the revolution is not a security - it needs conditions and factors - until the completion of those facts. Social institutions, laws, regulations, and structures express all national pluralism and variance - Change does not necessarily mean revolution, i.e. decisiveness by a knockout blow. There are many forms of change, the most difficult and most painful. Revolution - gradual political, economic, and social reform. Gradual change and transformation - The end of the French Revolution lasted ten years (1789 to 1799) to end The authoritarian monarchy, the republic was established. The socio-political change in the rest of the European continent did not proceed in the same revolutionary direction - with reform, the United Kingdom moved to constitutional monarchy, re

Sudan is a two-hundred-year-old state of the oppressive central authority. -Hatem Babiker Awad Al-Karim

  Images from Google for the events of the Sudanese revolution 2019 Sudan is a two-hundred-year-old state of the oppressive central authority.  Hatem Babiker Awad Al-Karim The massacres are the history of building the central state in Sudan, which was established on the ruins of regional political entities in the invasion of Muhammad Ali Pasha in 1820 AD. The military character is the only characteristic of the established state in Sudan. The colonial invasion established its state with the power of iron and fire. It is a long path of blood and tears in building the coercive unity of the tyrannical military state throughout the eras (Turkish "1821-1885" and Mahdist "1885-1898" and the condominium "1899-1956" and the post-colonial state" 1956 - 2019”) is the continuation of sorrows, tragedies, massacres, and organized state violence against the defenseless people - for the benefit of the dominant minority - the maker of production and life.

Russia warns G20 of global impact of sanctions

  Russia warns G20 of global impact of sanctions Samizdat | April 21, 2022 Sanctions imposed on Russia are creating serious risks to the global economy, Russian Finance Minister Anton Siluanov said via video link at a meeting of G20 finance ministers and central bank governors in Washington, DC on Wednesday. “Excessively loose budgetary and monetary policy pursued in recent years in developed countries created inflationary pressure last year, and the sanctions imposed against Russia not only further strengthened it, but also led to new risks in the economy,” Siluanov said. Spiking prices for energy and agricultural produce will hit developing and low-income countries, the minister warned, adding that some countries will face severe social consequences. According to Siluanov, Russia has never refused to fulfill its obligations and continues to comply with all contracts’ terms, while shipments of goods across the global markets are being artificially restrained by sanctions, triggering a

Kosti is of Greek origin, or Nubian

  Kosti is of Greek origin, or Nubian  There is a popular story that has its roots in the early twentieth century, that a Greek merchant called “Costa” or “Kustinio” resided in this area, and he brought sugar, salt and other goods to the nomads, bought milk from them and made cheese. And that the Kosti region, before it was called by this name in connection with the Greek, was called the name of Abbas and was corresponding to the region of Zainouba, an area whose roots go back to the thirteenth century AD, where a Nubian princess lived.  The archaeological discoveries in the areas east and west of the White Nile indicate the presence of churches in an area dating back to the sixth century AD, where the Christian kingdoms (Alwa, Moghara and Nobatia) prevailed. The proof of the existence of a Nubian civilization in this region, this fact denies the origin of the name. The inhabitants of that region, according to the notorious narration, date back to the beginning of the second decade of
