Let us dream of a ministry specializing in charitable giving and caring for the poor!! ✍️ Aladdin Muhammad Abkar
If I had the reins of affairs in Sudan, I would not hesitate to establish a special ministry for almshouses which would work to provide food to the poor and needy, stipulating that the components of the meal should not exceed the scope of (lentils and balila), with pieces of bread being distributed to satisfy the needs.
Before the outbreak of the last war, most black people in Sudan, especially in the big cities, were struggling to get food, and even the successive regimes that ruled our country, one of the most important reasons for their downfall was their neglect of the people’s livelihood, especially (bread).
I don’t mean to say that we are a people who only care about food, but that’s the truth. Hungry stomachs will not be able to work or think, and in most criminal crimes the primary motive is to obtain food. Mature countries are therefore striving to bridge this gap by supporting food products so that they are accessible to all.
In the good old days, the poor and needy received help through what were called cooperative societies, where flour, sugar and sometimes soap and oil were distributed every first month. Likewise, mosques and taverns played an important role in helping provide food to the poor, orphans, and homeless people. However, with the increase of inhumane economic pressures under the pretext of implementing the World Bank’s prescriptions, the defeated citizen has become the victim. To hell with World Bank policy if it wants it. Starving our people, who have enormous wealth in agricultural, animal, mineral and river resources, then how can we be so hungry that it is difficult for us to get even bare bread!!!
At least it was possible to benefit from the river and sea fisheries wealth that God gave us to fill the food deficit and to benefit from the large areas of establishing farms to raise cows and sheep to provide milk and red meat, and to allocate farms to raise poultry so that citizens get eggs and white meat. We pray to God to laugh at us who take the initiative to implement these ideas on the ground until that time comes. It is time for us to demand the creation of a special ministry for hospices, which would supply food processing centers with food. As I said above, we will not demand more than providing (lentils and balila) a little bread, so that some people with enormous sums of money do not aspire to compete with the poor in these almshouses. Unfortunately, there is a group of people with dead consciences who go to hospices to get food when they don’t need it.
Given the circumstances of the effects of the recent war, there are citizens who are completely unable to light fires in their homes, let alone prepare a meal, which may cost more than ten thousand pounds, while the water seller, assuming the head of the family works there, will not be able to provide more than five thousand pounds a day, and this is a figure that cannot be repeated every day.
In short, we want to continue donating, because it is good humanitarian work carried out by people who have all the respect from us, with our sincere prayers that God grants them blessings, health and well-being.
