Bakri Al-Madani: From Al-Damer Journalist to Sudanese Media Star ✍️ Dialogue: Muhammad Al-Hafiz Hamed
(2)
Al-Damer is the city of the Quran and the capital of Sudanese heritage and culture.
He gave his soul to the Sudanese press and media.
The fire of the hollows of the paddles, which is lit at night so that the wanderers and seekers of knowledge can read the Holy Quran with its light, its light extends to include many parts of the country.
It is customary for a journalist to interview administrative officials in their roles as appointed commissioners, government secretaries or executive directors.
Today, an administrator moderates the dialogue with a professional journalist.

With the journalist, Mr. Bakri Al-Madani
Biography, birth and education.?
I was born in Al-Damer Al-Shadinab in ancient Al-Damer, which is the homeland, and my ancestors contributed to the founding of the city several generations and three centuries ago.
Due to my father's practical situation, we traveled to different parts of Sudan, but the memory was formed here in Damer Al-Majzoub, which is birth and death, God willing.
Al-Shaadinab neighborhood, Qaddour neighborhood, brothers Qasim Abu Zaid, Al-Sawy, Abdel-Rahman Al-Shibli and Hanan Al-Nile.
In the field of language and literature, Al-Dahmer gave birth to Abdullah Al-Tayeb, Muhammad Al-Mahdi Al-Majzoub, Al-Tayeb Muhammad Al-Tayeb and the playwright Tour Al-Jar.

I entered the media through philosophy at Al-Nilein University, then honed my talent in specialized courses in Sudan and abroad, and obtained a journalism license in the late 90s.
Professional journalistic work I started at Akhbar Al-Society newspaper with Amal Abbas, then at The Other Opinion with Kamal Hassan Bakhit, then we joined Al-Sahafa newspaper with him and, at the beginning of the millennium, I joined Al-Wefaq newspaper, which was the real beginning and the journalistic school that refined Bakri Al-Madani.
Then the colors of Hussein Khojali and the Al-Masaa Foundation, Al-Hayat and Al-Nas, which serves as a media university, and from there he was editor-in-chief of several newspapers: Al-Hurra, Al-Watan, Sudan International, Khartoum Today, but also the Al-Khartoum Al-Jadeeda magazine, with the eminent journalist Hassan Al-Toum.

Ultimately, I say that I have had over a thousand conversations with different groups in society, with an emphasis on politicians.
Your interests and background in journalism, media and specialization.
I specialize in journalism and political media.
The development of Sudanese journalism and media in recent decades.
We are the generation in whose hands the print media died and we started the era of satellite channels and the media was faster and that is why we burst into this field and our generation is considered the most important in this field and still is.
The stars I have met during my career are an example, but not an example
Diaa El-Dini Bilal
Abdel Majid Abdel Hamid
Suhair Abdel Rahim.
Mohammed Abdul Qader
Abdul Azim Saleh
Asim Al-Bilal.
They are my generation.
Where do you stand on the war for dignity and its repercussions?
This was expected, and our writings in a series of articles that predicted it bear witness to this (The Khartoum war will shorten in time and will not last long…).
And its position in my opinion depends on the orientations of the State, its institutions and our armed forces.
The solutions available to achieve an end to the war and the meetings in Jeddah, Cairo and Manama.
My position is to dismantle rapid support, militarily or politically, through negotiation.
The framework agreement is a completely foreign document and has been rejected.
The outcome is an inclusive Sudanese-Sudanese dialogue with the participation of Islamists.
Federalism is the way to govern Sudan.
Your presence at the reception of leader Musleh Nassar and the repercussions and implications of the attack on the march.
I lived through many moments of the war and was in Khartoum for three months in the thick of that battle. Then I witnessed the rebel forces entering the town of Wad Madani. That day, I marched on foot to the gate of Sennar State in a continuous march for 48 hours, and I was there on a reporting and journalism mission.
As for the celebration of the arrival of the Rizeigat delegation in the city of Shendi, at the home of leader Musleh Nassar, as is known, the venue of the ceremony was targeted by a march that caused damage only to the buildings.
The task of the coordination of Arab tribes in Darfur is to recover these tribes from the native administrations that mortgaged them for the rebellion.
That's why they are targeted.
last word. ?
The field of journalism and media made me known, and thanks to it I visited all the regions of Sudan and the most beautiful cities and countries in the world (Turkey, Istanbul… Algiers… Beijing… Addis Ababa… and other Arab and foreign cities).
But… Al-Damer remains the most beautiful in my eyes, with its dialogues, its fragrant potential, its Nile, and its farms. And now I am living the most beautiful period of my life. War, if there is one, is my presence in my city, which I love and in which I practice my hobby of agriculture, writing and wandering around its monuments, its old markets and its old mosques.
Thanks to Professor Muhammad Al-Hafiz, who is one of the prominent figures in the city of Al-Damir. He, his roots and blood, spoke about the Al-Damir society, which is a civil and civil society in which the tribes of the banks of the Nile are homogeneous, especially the Rashaida tribe, one of the oldest communities in the Nile and Al-Damir in particular.
Which includes a diverse population that remains unique until culminating in the scent of the Damar Indians, their perfume trade and all the components of the city that never leave my memory.
Thanks to the distinguished Professor Bakri Al-Madani
