    Sounds great
    I once had a Sudanese girlfriend, though the word 'girlfriend' might be too strong a word to describe our relationship. Anyway, she was always gagging for it and I was such a nice guy that I always obliged. She wasn't a Muslim. I think she said she was an animist.

    I worked with a Sudanese guy before. I think he got refugee status in the UK. Devoutly religious, nice meaning bloke, but not all there in the head.

    Never knowingly met anyone from Sudan, met loads from Somalia though and they were all cvnts without exception. That was when I was working in London basing myself in Southall bit of a melting pot there as the Sikhs hate the Muslims, the Muslims hate the Sikhs and they all hate the Somalies, maybe the Sudanese are a nicer lot. Muslims and Sikhs I am referring to were all Indian, the Sikhs were great as myself and partner used to stay in a Sikh owned pub in Sothwell were only 2 white guys there and they loved us for whatever reason, many a night pissed for free wouldn't let me buy a drink. Hope this invaluable information helps that has fuk all to do with Sudan on your upcoming trip....

    Depends where you are mate.
    If you're up north just get your self a local bloke as a trusted mate as soon as you can.
    Hire him to be your side kick.
    You'll get all the beer or grog you need.
    Plus anything thing else you need.
    The Sudanese are mixed mob. It all depends on where you are.
    Good luck.

    I worked there years ago.mainly Port Sudan-Khartoum-Dongola,and that was before Oz Bin Larden(sic)hung out there.
    What I heard it has got a lot more mussie fundermental than then, was ok but no party time.
    The black Sudanese were a lot more easier going because less mussies amongst them ,some great looking women to get a trouser reaction but one had to be careful.
    The south was a lot looser but now since it is South Sudan it is your typical African shithole with tribal wars.
    You are not likely to any hassles though in your day to day life at your site.

    You can still enjoy yourself without beer on a Friday night mate


    Every Friday evening, Sufi dervishes perform a ritual called dhikr at the tomb of Sheikh Hamad-al Nil, a 19th-century Sufi leader. The devotees dance and work themselves into a frenzy while reciting Allah’s name, helping to create a state of ecstatic abandon that supposedly allows their hearts to communicate directly with God.


    The ceremony begins when the dervishes make their entrance to the cemetery dressed in colorful patchwork robes with bright beads draped around their necks. They then proceed to a patch of cleared ground in front of the mosque while banging drums and chanting while a man attempts to enforce the perimeter boundary.

    Although he carries a large club, he still struggles to maintain order as the crowd is, by now, wild with excitement. Fights break out among the more belligerent adherents who appear to taunt each other (quickly dealt with by the club-wielding man). Wild-eyed priests dance around the perimeter and blow incense into the faces peering out from the mass of spectators.

    The proceedings become more electric as the evening wears on. The rhythmic chants of “La Illaha Illallah” (there is no god but Allah) become hypnotic. Every so often a devotee breaks off from the main group, spinning in a blur of arms and legs. With eyes rolling, the dancer seems to enter into a trance-like state before collapsing onto the ground.

    The ceremony begins around 4:30. Visitors are treated with respect despite the fighting and theatrical bad tempers among devotees. It’s hard not to be swept along with the ritual. When it ends, you almost feel as if you’ve suddenly snapped out of your own trance.

    Know Before You Go
    It is better to have a local guide to help experience this ceremony. They know the best place to be positioned to get a good view and can match the belligerence of the locals to get you there (in a way which would probably best not be attempted by a tourist!).
