The Sudan You Never Knew
The Sudan You Never Knew
" Most people in the world see African people as if they were cave people from a million years ago — with no history, no knowledge, and no culture. Not all of Africa is seen this way, but specifically Sudan. When people hear 'Sudan,' they blindly assume it’s just another poor country in Africa. They know nothing about us, and they don’t even try to learn. Instead, they make movies that show us as they want the world to see us. Movies like The Good Lie are, in fact, a very good lie — portraying us as if we’ve never seen a phone, as if we’re stuck in the stone age. But we are far more than what they think. We have deep history, powerful cultures, and untold stories. The sad truth? No one in the world wants to know — but we know who we are. Through this website, I will do my best to break these harmful stereotypes and share the truth about us. If you’re interested — keep scrolling. You’ll discover what the world has ignored for far too long. "
