It was established after the first two weeks of the Sudan War. After the arrival of the musician Ali Al-Zein to Egypt after the war, he had the procedural lead in registering the center before the entity of the Union of Sudanese Artists in Egypt.
At the same time, Al-Zein began its registration procedures in both Saudi Arabia and Bahrain. Al-Zein said in an interview to Sudan Events that the purpose of registering the center’s branches in several countries was as Mahmoud Darwish said: As the grains of the spike dry, the ears of corn fill the valley.
Start of the establishment:

Musician Ali Al-Zein announced the opening of the “Free Strike” cultural forum, starting today, Saturday, and continuing weekly.
Since its establishment in Egypt, the Center began working on two levels: the first is organizing or participating in organizing cultural nights at the Center or the Union House, and the other level is teaching music to students.
Al-Zein explained that a regular forum was held weekly “every Saturday at the Ali Al-Zein Center for Culture and Arts in Sudan, in which all artists (musicians, writers, musicians, and playwrights) gather.
It serves as a free space for artists, art lovers, and youth to present artistic and cultural works and exchange ideas.” Inspiring and introducing youth artists to the artistic scene by taking to the stage and surprising the audience with their talents.
*Stop activity
The beginning of the forum was in the year 2010, following the opening of the Ali Al-Zein Center in Khartoum, and it continued until 2014. According to Al-Zein: The center was attacked by the General Security Service of the former government, and thus activities, including FreeStrike, were halted for several years. He added: Now we are the ones trying to survive and we pray To revive the forum again from Cairo, the time has come for us to gather our souls together and rise again like the phoenix:
(We are the virtuous in the end.
We are the virtuous, we are the virtuous in the street, in the mud houses.
Technical initiatives
In those years, according to Al-Zein, the forum was able to bring together artists of different ages and artistic colors, which increased cognitive enrichment and aroused amazement and passion in the souls of its pioneers, and many artistic ideas and initiatives emerged from it in Sudanese society. He said: It was born from the many wombs of the forum.
Of the singers and poets who are considered today the best in the artistic scene and we say to them
The free platform for all artists has a space that exists without a presenter or broadcaster.
The person is the one who presents himself to the audience and receives the creativity center.
He pointed out that the (Free Strike) forum.
It is customary that during the month of Ramadan and every Saturday of every week, the center’s courtyard is transformed into a group Iftar courtyard.
He added: This year, with all the nostalgia we have for our homeland, we will revive this custom and quench our souls as much as we can, and the starting point will be with breakfast today.
Saturday, Ramadan 6, and after that, our free kick activities will begin
