I applied for the award in the middle of the war, Sukhoi time, and I was not sure that the application would arrive due to the fluctuation of the Internet, and I forgot about it until I was surprised months later. Long and I just left Sudan that I was invited to attend the Al-Faisal Award and that I won the Diwan, and Ibtihal said that she was very happy with this win: This win is great ,because it is the decisive factor, and because I was honored to receive a high-level award from a capable and honest committee, one of the greatest critics in the Arab world, and this deserves respect, and this coronation came while I was in the utmost pain and sadness.
New Poetry :
Even the pain and sadness for what is going on in the homeland, translated by Ibtihal Poetry: I wrote many poems that mixed death and hope together. Between a homeland that was lost by politicians and a bleak future and endless diaspora, I try to find my homeland that I will not give up on. I am the daughter of Sudan and I am returning to its Nile, its mountains, its tan, and my glory in its splendor.
