Medani, A Tale of One City !
By: Prof. kirya Ahmed Nasr
The throbbing heart of the Sudan.The navel of the “Green Geziera . Beautifully, drawn a masterpiece on the eastern bank of the “Blue” ; a real “Bluetooth”. A real gold tooth of the “Blue”. Thus, it is “out of the blue”, returned to the bosom of the homeland (the motherland).
Medani, in fact , was invaded around a number of months.The citizens were disperse in the four directions of the globe . They left their houses to the “looters”, robbers, smugglers, hooligans “SHAFSHAFERS” and thieves. They destroyed and mutilated everything they found. Whatever their eyes lied on is destroyed and smashed ; let alone the R-word . What apity !
Medani, is by far, considered the pearl and “Dora” of Geziera state. It’s a second ever beautiful city after the triangular capital ” ; the greater Khartoum “.
To my surprise ; sorry, it gives me a surprise . Well, I couldn’t put right ! What I want to express it here and I couldn’t find my tongue to say it, is that : turning on my radio , I couldn’t instantly recall what the announcer kept chanting: “A communique from the ‘General Command’ ; a sound seems a ululation . Yep, ululation ! All in masses gueuing ; chanting, cheering , applauding, acclaiming,
Plauditting , and the ‘fair sex’ ululating loudly .
I pressed my ear in a cone shape to purify the sound of receiver a bit clearer to understand what is behind. Then, the announcer poped up in saying : ” A communique from the ‘General Command says that : Medani is “BACK” to the bosom of the homeland. What a piece of NEWS .Then all of the Suadnese , in all cities and town and even in the rural areas , ‘N’orth ,’E’ast, ‘W’est, and ‘S’outh ; in picking the NEWS set out to embrace themselves into unprompted marching. Joyously dancing the victory of their Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF).
Viva , viva, SAF ! Viva , Viva , SAF ! I couldn’t believe that Medani is so highly beloved as such , though it’s one of the so much beloved cities to my very self.Since, I had had my tertiary level education there in Medani . In a diamond that is called “Geziera University”.
So, to participate in this Joyously celebrating, in my sleep, I applauded and kept applauding till my family woke me to the lovely cup of the morning tea . What a cup of milked tea under the music of the military marches !
I love Medani so much . As if “My navel is buried there !” . Don’t you love it , too ? Then, sing with me :
Wow ! Medani is back
A lovely song in a track
Oh! Sudan is up to that
Cause, it’s a hunting fat
