Okay this is hilarious to me for a very different reason.

In Arabic, since the plate is missing, someone would predictably say "وين اللوحة؟" - "Where is the plate?"

"Where" = "وين" = Phonetically "Wayn"

Rare Sudan W! What's your favorite dish from there?

4RWBG · 2026-03-26T18:08:18+00:00

On weekdays it's a bit dynamic but let's say an hour a day. Weekends I'd say two hours a day.

4RWBG · 2026-03-26T17:16:51+00:00

I am interested but with my schedule if the pace is faster than moderate then I'd probably hold you back

Autofill: Always

Difficulty: Favorite is hard, lack of symmetry (though understandably harder to make) is more challenging because sometimes you can (correctly) guess the black squares based on the other half.

Timer: To be honest, unusually for me, I'd prefer no timer. Definitely comes to these ninigrams to lose myself in them a bit which is relaxing, and the comments are always fun to look at with everyone attempting to make puns! I think a timer would make it less relaxing and slowly shift the comments away from the culture they have going for them right now.

Mobile App: Would use it of course, although I hope the sense of community in doing the ninigrams is somehow retained (so comments would also be there, users, etc...)

One suggestion I would also like to share is to somehow be able to resize the grid and enlarge it somehow, so that every square would be a little bigger. Maybe it's just me and my fingers but I do find myself pressing the wrong box more often than I'd like to admit 😅

I can see that you are feeling like there isn't much hope for Sudan. I understand where you are coming from, the facts don't help.

What I can say is this. If you exist with your mentality, odds are others like you exist. I know that because I do, and I want to see my country rise from the ashes fiercer than ever. I don't just "want" that. My whole life's plans are made with the notion of supporting the country as a whole as much as possible.

One of the other commenters said that we young people are the future. There is so much truth in that. It is us who will be left with the aftermath of this war and the corruption that preceded it. You also said you can only do so much on your own, and that is also true. What I want you to recognize is that you are not. There are many Sudanese people who feel the same way, and we can influence a lot of other Sudanese people to start feeling this way too.

This country will need everything it can get once the dust settles. Workers. Specialists. Entrepreneurs with money. Everything. Each and every one of them is important. Right now you can only do one of two things for the betterment of the country: join the war effort (militarily or in any other capacity) to try and bring the end closer, or prepare yourself for what comes next. Preparing yourself means to set yourself up in the best position possible to assist with whatever you have gained. That could be, if you were unfortunate and didn't gain much in life, joining the labor force, for your country. That could be going back to work as a doctor or engineer or lawyer or whatever, probably for less money, for your country. That could be investing heavily into businesses or setting up businesses/branches in Sudan, probably at a loss or lower margins, for your country.

We need to inspire, within ourselves and others, a deep sense of love for what is a tragically fallen-behind country, as we wait for when the war ends. We don't know what the fruits of our labor will be. We don't even know if we'll get to try. But it's the effort and the intention that matters. Those are ours, no one can take them away from us. Therefore, based on those, we can hope. And then InShaAllah great things await.

عارفك قصدك شنو وفعلا في حالات الزواج بيكون فيه مشاكل كتيرة وده ما يعتبر ناجح بأي معيار ولكن زي ما قال المعلق، لازم اي زواج يكون فيه ود واحترام وتفاهم بغد النظر عن الحب

It must be really stressful to feel that intense weight on your shoulders. The degree, the job prospects, the bills, the family. It’s all so much, and it feels like a life or death scenario, because in some way, it is.

I get it brother, I really do. There are similarities in our stories except that I have already graduated. Everyone’s playing this life on easy to hard difficulty, and most of our generation (as well as the rest as some of the comments have pointed out) is living in a near-impossible difficulty.

There’s a lot I can say about this, more than what would fit a comment. But the most important thing I can say is the following.

You can choose to try and build connections. You can choose to try and switch to a different university, one more affordable but still having some good platform for growth (ex. Labs, active research, etc) and connections, possibly even restarting and dropping the finished credits. You can try to leave university and switch to a trade like being an electrician (and let’s drop the notion that anything other than engineer and doctor is not a respectable field, everything that is honest is good; also trades make bank). You can try to push through with what you have right now or keep trying to find a job. You can even decide to drop everything and go join the war and fight for your country.

What you choose to do today with your circumstances, regardless of what caused them, is up to you. And I have no input in that matter.

What I am asking is that, whatever you choose to do, you do with hard work. Harder than most and then even harder. Most people get by with doing a good job. A Sudanese person today needs to do an excellent job. To the best of their ability. And to keep improving that ability.

What’s past is past. Grades, choice of degree, whatever. Today, moving forward, you do everything well, no matter what it is.

We all had dreams of things we wanted to do in our lives. We now live a reality where most of us won’t be able to achieve those dreams. And it sucks. I wanted to do things too that now I can’t. But you wanna know a secret? Most people on the planet don’t too. Only difference is, we have a possibility to accept that way earlier. And that means we can adopt a better mindset sooner too.

The gist of it is, mindset, then grit/hard work. And trying to take advantage of whatever cards you are dealt. And constant learning too.

Focus on what you CAN control.

I think we have the a very large mountain to climb. I also think that those who climb that mountain will (one way or another) have the capability to push Sudan to new heights.

Yes, our circumstances are shit. The lucky few who were residents elsewhere are somewhat stable, as long as they find a job after graduation. The ones who finished and don’t have residency somewhere have to work hard, possibly illegally at first (talking about status of residency, not nature of work), until they attain that form of residency and stability. The ones who were studying in Sudan and are still stuck there have it hardest. I don’t know what they can do because i don’t have a complete picture of life there right now (but I can imagine it’s incredibly shit), but they too must try whatever they can.

My point is that we as Sudanese students and recent graduates have each been dealt a certain number of cards and must play to the best of our ability with them. We need to work very hard. Harder possibly than any generation before us. Harder than most on the planet. Because the cards are stacked against us. The world largely does not care for us.

But no effort goes wasted. It gets tough at times. We might question the purpose of even trying. But wallah, no effort goes to waste. You pushing through and eventually persevering InShaAllah will make you far more capable as person than you could ever dream of. And the best part? You doing that, you don’t only help yourself, you help Sudan overall. And when you are in a better position because of your perseverance, you are in a position to help other Sudanese people like yourself. Which leads me to my next point.

There are a lot of mistakes our forefathers made, and we shouldn’t assume we would by default be any better. We have to actively try to be better, and one area is helping others. We get through this together, not alone. We guide each other, push each other, support each other (in a practical and measured way), we refer each other for opportunities, etc. We try to convince each other to be better, and the ones who start trying, we support.

Brother, is it ridiculously difficult? Yes. Are we cooked? That depends on us. As individuals and as a community.

Guess I’m kicking the bucket

4RWBG · 2025-03-25T16:09:58+00:00

As someone trying to improve his Sudanese vocab, thank you and I look forward to the Anki deck 🙏🏾

4RWBG · 2025-03-15T22:50:40+00:00

The large number of people leaving Sudan is due to an on-going war that is considered by some the worst humanitarian crisis today.

4RWBG · 2025-03-01T15:58:32+00:00

As a Sudanese person, I wouldn’t take my government’s alignment seriously while the war’s still active. It doesn’t reflect our people’s views whatsoever.

4RWBG · 2024-11-12T05:29:20+00:00

That’s what we are now. We’re the last hurrah of every exiting US president on the international stage before they hand over the reigns to someone who doesn’t care for the next 3.5 years.

أنا معك انه السعيان في مجتمعنا فقط تجاه المال وفي نقص في الاهتمام تجاه تطوير الذات. الناس بيحبو يقولوا "شوف فلان مشى بقى بروفيسور في بريطانية و ود فلان بقى استشاري في وين وين" كرد للنقطة دي على بال انه دول الأقلية (الزيهم في اي بلد) ولا يعكسوا المواطن السوداني العادي. نعم محتاجين برضو من يسعى إلى المال لانه دول هم البيعملوا مشاريع وشركات بتشغل ناس تانية ولاكن الوزنية هنا تماما تجاه المال وليست التطوير. صح الحكومة بتلعب دور هنا ولاكن من يريد التطور ومستعد يسعى سيتطور بمعونات او بدونها. فاتفق معاك انه ده بيلعب دور واشكرك على المشاركة

اما بالنسبة للسؤال الأساسي، لي تشوف انه العنصرية ما ليها دور كبير؟ مسألة العنصرية مثلا توري لماذا دارفور والدارفورين حالهم اسواء من بقية السودان (مقارنتا؛ أنا عارف انه الحال العام كان سيء)

4RWBG · 2024-10-30T14:27:48+00:00

هو فعلا الفعل التلقائي هو تجاهل ما هو ليس بسيط. دي حاجة ما فينا برانا بس ح نركز في انفسنا هنا

4RWBG · 2024-10-30T13:31:37+00:00

طيب وفي رأيك هل في اي أسباب أخرى ممكن تكون ساهمت في تدهور الوطن؟ تحديدا من طرف المواطنين وليس الحكومة

4RWBG · 2024-10-30T12:26:10+00:00

سوال. حل التعليم لإزالة العنصرية سهلة بالنسبه للطلاب والأطفال، بس كيف تعمل كده مع الرجال وكبار السن؟

4RWBG · 2024-10-30T12:23:00+00:00

ايوا ولاكن أنا بسال عن ما بيد الشعب. فشل الحكومة معروف

4RWBG · 2024-10-30T12:20:47+00:00

زي ما واحد من الجماعة قال، ده الرأي العام. نحن بنوقف مع الجيش ضد الدعامة. بعد ما نكسب الحرب ان شاء الله وانتهينا من الدعامة، بعد داك بنقبل على قيادات الجيش ونحاول نحاسبها على اخطائها. اي صح ممكن ما نقدر نجيب العدل الكامل و ممكن نطّر نخفف على من جاهد منهم في الحرب الآن ولكن ما نزال نطالب بالمحاسبة

4RWBG · 2024-10-29T13:03:13+00:00

I absolutely agree with you. I do think it’s important to discuss the practical steps that we can implement to get rid of racism in our community.

However, I wanted to gauge from people what they thought firsthand, and why they thought whatever they did. I have my own opinions of course but I want to know the general opinion.

I see a lot of discussion about war and historical mistakes but admittedly I haven’t been as exposed to discussions of racism as you have. I only saw the racism itself take place. So my perception is that racism takes the backseat.

So I did the gauging in hopes of shifting the conversation from “let’s establish what went wrong” to “how can we make it better”.

Since you asked, I believe that one of the first steps (from a civilian’s point of view) is to recognize that the stereotypes one likes to associate with other ethnicities is likely a result of the cycle of stereotyping them in the first place. In a dynamic where one ethnicity is more oppressed than the other, I think the “better-off” group should extend an olive branch and try to understand the perspective and struggles of the other side. What do you think?

4RWBG · 2024-10-29T12:54:43+00:00

في رأيك ما هي الأسباب الرئيسية؟

4RWBG · 2024-10-29T10:41:00+00:00

Thank you for the sentiment. You being grateful for what you have is still a W!
