A woman, a symbol of the Sudanese revolution
In 2019, in the middle of the Sudanese revolution, the image of a woman dressed in white from head to toe became widespread. He was standing on the roof of a car, holding up his index finger, reciting a revolutionary poem by “Azhari Muhammad Ali” and the people around him responded by shouting “revolution”. “Ala Salah”, whose name was not revealed at first, with a white robe on her body and golden earrings on her ears, was reminiscent of the dress of “Amanirnas” of the ancient Nubian queen of ancient Sudan and the conqueror of the Romans. Commentators called this gesture “image of the revolution”.
Translation of a part of this song:
Forgive me mother, I broke my promise to you
It is forbidden to talk in the congregation of rulers
Mother, my blood boils when the whole country is in turmoil
When these forces have ruined the image of Islam
Bringing their nonsense with them in the name of religion
Imprisoning us in the name of religion
Burning us in the name of religion
Separating us from each other in the name of religion
Killing our mother…
This is just the beginning of our life
And I want a wedding party.
