Hagir Elsheikh
Wars are not always fought with weapons; sometimes, they are fought with ignorance, hatred, and unconscious bias.
Hagir Elsheikh, Through Tragedy and Triumph: A Life Well Traveled

Tayeb Salih
By the standards of the European industrial world we are poor peasants, but when I embrace my grandfather I experience a sense of richness as though I am a note in the heartbeats of the very universe. He is no towering oak tree with luxurious branches growing in a land on which Nature has bestowed water and fertility, rather he is like the sayal bushes in the deserts of the Sudan, thick of bark and sharp of thorn, defeating death because they ask so little of life.
Tayeb Salih, Season of Migration to the North
