I live in a Masid (Quran local school)<\/p>\n<p>Dialogue &#8211; Magda Hassan<\/p>\n<p>Director Abadi Mahjoub is still stationed in the city of Omdurman and has not left it throughout the year of the war. The war broke out and the fire of his grief is still alive over the death of his wife, who had died barely a month ago. His house was completely looted and then burned completely, so his loss was growing. Even his memories of his companion have not survived.<br \/>\nFrom inside Masid Sheikh Al-Amin, where he currently lives, during this dialogue, Abadi recounted a story from the time of war in which he was the hero and its spectator.<br \/>\nOne of the last scenes started with Abadi, and I had seen him in a video during the liberation of the radio station. He strived hard to check on the film archives. How could he not, since he is a director and film student who served as president of the Sudanese Filmmakers Union.<\/p>\n<p>Devastation<\/p>\n<p>Abadi said that after the army restored the radio station, I sought to visit it to see what happened to it. \u201cI asked one of the army commanders who visited us in Al-Masid that I wanted to visit the radio station, but he told me that the battles and shelling were still continuing. After he learned my identity, he told me to wait for two or three days, and after the conditions had calmed down I went with a soldier to the radio building. At the door we met a colonel who was strict with us at first, but finally he allowed us to enter on the condition that we do not film anything.\u201d He said.<br \/>\n&#8220;I was shocked by the sight of the radio station. Its facade was burned. I tried to enter and was prevented because there are things that are still happening. The radio is the most damaged area. As for cinematic production, fortunately, its buildings have been cleaned and handed over to the broadcasting authority, and old cinematic films have been preserved in another library in preparation for transferring them from cinematic raw materials to A computer into a server, besides old movie in boxes were taked to another library.&#8221; He added.<br \/>\nAbadi continues to narrate his tour that the television building also has great damage, \u201cAli Shamo\u2019s studio is in good condition, but there are problems in the news studio, and the Blue Nile Studio is greatly damaged because they are facing the Nile River bank.\u201d He continued. Abadi concluded that restoring radio and television station requires time and arrangement, but he is also optimistic that it will maintain buildings and studios in a modern manner, which will make us keep pace with development in this field and be better than we used to be. Thanks to the countries that reatched their hand to help Sudan.<br \/>\nThrough the back doors, Abadi came to the national stage and found that it also had many problems, but he also looked at it with an eye to the future interest. \u201cIt is in the interest of these devices, and even aerobics and popular arts that we rebuild them in a different and new way. Sudan is a great country in which all the best of the world is. We are the world\u2019s food basket and the world\u2019s adornment. I only hope that souls will be blessed.\u201d He said.<\/p>\n<p>Heartbreak and hope<\/p>\n<p>The story, as narrated by director Abadi, relates to what he saw at the radio and television station, and what he experienced in Omdurman. He is most saddened that this war is not similar to the world\u2019s wars, but it is between local components. \u201cThe year has completed and some cities and places have still not been completely cleared of war, even though the situation is better than before.\u201d He said. Abadi hopes this war will end and a new Sudan will come in which there will be no room for all the names that were tried and were part of the destruction that befell the country. &#8220;All the names throughout the eras and the regimes that ruled must completely move away from ruling Sudan and there must be a national government. We need to make room for young people and groups not exceeding 55 years to try new forms with new concepts, and whoever has ideas can only be an advisor to the nation, so that we can advance with new faces, starting with Sudan from the beginning.\u201d He added.<br \/>\nThe war, which has extended for nearly a year, is, according to Abadi, a war against the citizen in the first place. &#8220;It is a war against the people, in which there is a dispute over thevpower, and even a violent conflict between politicians has nothing to do with Sudan. They are all looking for ruling seats.&#8221; He said.<br \/>\n&#8220;When the war broke out on April 15, I was hiding the remnants of sadness over the death of my wife a month before that date, and I thought it would end within a few days when they would agree or one would be victorious over the other. But the war continued and was very violent toward the citizens, as houses were looted, money, children, and even killing them. After the days passed and the army began its victories over the regional rogue faction, our troubles with the rogue groups began.\u201d He added.<\/p>\n<p>Looting and burning<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In this war, my house was completely looted, and after that it was completely burned. I left my house and now I live in one of the houses inside Al-Masid. This is the edifice to which many families from Old Omdurman took shelter. They live inside it or in the surrounding houses.&#8221; Abadi said.<br \/>\nAbadi pointed to the great efforts made by Al-Masid in this war, \u201cSheikh Al-Amin could have gone out from the first day to a safe place, but he preferred to be with the people and serve society, he and his youth, who put their lives at risk in order to serve others,\u201d He added. \u201cThis War will make a new, strong, rebellious Sudan.\u201d He concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Director Abadi Mahjoub in an interview with (Al-Ahdath): I was shocked by the sight of the radio station, which was the most damaged The news studio and Blue Nile were largely destroyed The film archive survived with these (&#8230;) measures Restoring radio and television takes time A new Sudan will arise and will be the &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":19835,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-19828","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-society-culture"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sudanevents.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19828","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sudanevents.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sudanevents.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sudanevents.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sudanevents.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19828"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/sudanevents.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19828\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":19836,"href":"https:\/\/sudanevents.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19828\/revisions\/19836"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sudanevents.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/19835"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sudanevents.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19828"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sudanevents.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19828"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sudanevents.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19828"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
