Explicit support

Mayada Qamar El-Din is considered one of the singers who support the army through singing and stances. She is considered one of the first singers to express her explicit support and stand by the armed forces.
Mayada had surprised her fans and followers by releasing a new song through which she supported the armed forces in their war against the Rapid Support militia, through which she called for resolving the battle without negotiation. It was called (Melooj Al Gal) and was written and composed by the poet Haitham Abbas. The song sparked widespread controversy due to its direct contents.

Patriotic stances

Mayada Qamar Al-Din was known for her clear patriotic stances, as her voice rose during the December Revolution, so much so that the pioneers of social networking sites at the time crowned her a singer named after the revolutionaries, thanks to her song that she broadcast on social networking sites, where many considered it expressive of the spirit of the protests that took place in the country at that time.

Revolutionary singer

After the revolution, the singer expressed her disappointment in those who ruled after the revolution, and released a song on the (Sudanese Songs) channel on YouTube, from the words of the poet Haitham Abbas. A number of followers expressed their admiration for some clips of the song, explaining that it resembles the current situation.

Mockery

A number of supporters celebrated stopping the war in Sudan with a song by the singer Mayada during the clip. However, people on social media who shared the clip, mocked the singer Mayada Qamar El Din, who had released a song not long ago calling for the war to be resolved with fighting, and comments came in the form of, “Have you forgotten your song about winning by fighting?”

A year of pain

Mayada reviews her experience during the year of war, saying, “A year has passed in which everything was different. Losses, pain, bereavement, fear, and migration. One year turned our lives around and changed our concepts, behavior, and view of people and things.” She added, “A whole year and we still cannot believe what is happening in terms of betrayal of the country, mercenaries, and prejudice against the homeland.”

Fixed position

She confirmed that her position during a year of war was firm, her confidence in the army was great, and her love for her country was greater. “During this year we have not tasted sleep and we have no desire to sing or rejoice,” She said. “A year of complete commitment not to singing and reservations from holding parties of any kind are, in my opinion, the least form of solidarity with my country. It is a year of harsh conditions, alienation, and a sense of asceticism in everything.” She added.
She says that she is completely satisfied with herself and her convictions, and is trying to document a history that will be a source of pride for her one day after her country’s victory and after it becomes better than it used to be. Steadfastness in principle and contentment is a blessing that deserves praise and gratitude.
