After that, I returned to the east of the Nile via Hantoub, and that's where the militias occupied the city and I faced big problems. I cut the road to Fadasi, and from there I took a bus to Al-Hasahissa and from there to the east of the Nile, guarded by the protection of God, I started my career in the “Al-Ta'meya” industry, which borrowed its capital from my neighbor. Even though the situation has greatly improved, the interruption of services has been difficult for all of us. So I brought the tools of my new trade back to Gedaref, via Shindi, Atbara, Haya and Kassala, and I worked hard. and I collected money to renew my passport in order to travel outside the country after being accused of aiding the militia and started a war, and I felt threatened by some of those affiliated with the old regime, so I decided to leave the country for fear of my life. My life is here.

So I looked for an alternative and ended up in bank transfers. I was faced with the problem of saving money, with people relying on some applications, so there was psychological suffering, even though the newspapers of the political movement and the Renaissance did not do so. Their owners abandoned us, especially Dr. Hassan Barqo, known for his humanitarian positions, and Muhammad Esmat, who kept asking about us, so Al-Zarqa newspaper resumed its publication, and Atef Al-Jamsi, the editor-in-chief, who remained my assistant during my ordeal. , and here I am back to the experience of agriculture, and I am filled with optimism that this year will be different and a favorable autumn, and I have become a farmer of millet, sesame and watermelon crops, which are about to be harvested. , and this is part of the lessons that war and displacement have taught us, and we have returned to the profession of our ancestors.

His colleague Abdel Aleem Makhawi recounts his suffering after the war and displacement, when he settled in Kosti with his brother Dr. Mamoun Makhawi says: “We did not know anyone and we were wandering everywhere looking for honest work. Even the money we had was not enough to enter the market as traders. Mamoun Makhawi worked on the porches, which we had difficulty driving after renting them. Then we were able to own a porch for the two of us, which reduced the cost of rent. We found a very good person in Al-Malja market in Kosti, and we found only cooperation, especially our uncle Ismail Abdel Rahman. He is one of the main businessmen in the market and we still work in front of his shop. The truth is that our livelihood comes from a small amount of money, and we thank God for that.” The most beautiful thing is that living from self-employment is a very great blessing, and we have clients who continue with us. located “near the workplace, which begins immediately after dawn prayer.”
