BBC - Travel - Africa's most misunderstood country?
http://www.bbc.com/travel/gallery/20170228-africas-most-misunderstood-country

The movie says, "For the traveler, the secret treasure of Sudan is to grasp the heart From the experience of sleeping outdoors in the desert of the night, how the youth of Sudan recites poetry and evokes pride as a citizen , BBC reporter, documentary filmmaker Benjamin Zando will introduce Sudan's unknown side in three parts "and start with the caption.


Mr. Zand who gets a sentence saying, "Based on what I experienced, I could solve the misunderstanding that I had against Sudan."


◆ Part 1
"The ancient city of Sudan" Naga "Kush KingdomThe city flourished as a fortress. Its history goes back to the 4th century BC, but the two buildings of the time, such as the big temples "Amun" and "Apedemak" have survived a long trial. "


Mr. Zand who visits the site by riding a Toyota 4 wheel drive car.


Two Sudanese men, Mr. Safa and Mr. Mazin will accompany you as a local guide.


First I aim at the temple of Naga which is a ruin of the city of the 4th century BC ......


It was made in the era of the later Meroe Kingdom (3rd century BC - 3rd century AD)Pyramid of Nubian.


A four wheel drive car that runs on a desolate earth that is not paved. In Africa, life will not go unless there is a four wheel drive car such as Toyota.


One way of Mr. Zand who stops by a coffee shop and tastes the Sudanese coffee along the way.


While tasting coffee, Mr. Mazin talks about the rich diversity that Sudan possesses. The image of Sudan to be sent to the world is mostly "civil war" and "starvation", but before Sud Sudan became independent in 2011, Sudan, which was the country with the largest land in Africa, It is said that there is abundant diversity to overturn.


After the coffee break, resuming the desert drive under the scorching sun which spans 5 hours of the whole process.


Eventually the party arrived at a place where building traces lined up in the desert.


Ruins where sculptured artifacts stand. This place is ... ...


Couch'sMeroe KingdomIt is a trace of a temple built in the era of. It is an existing ruins after the period of 2000, but it is said that it is left unprotected, especially by the government.


Only a few villagers living in this area protect the ruins.


The reason is also to protect wells in this place.


The party after the ruins of Naga will continue the journey. The days sloped, the party arrived at the hotel tonight. A party who enjoyed Sudan's meat dish "Shaya" will prepare for bedding. Many Sudanese people choose to sleep outdoors in search of the sun's light, a natural alarm clock.


"Shaya" is a Sudanese meat dish using chicken meat or sheep meat, and can be eaten with homemade peanut butter, a dry source called "Dakwa".


Also, cooking called "full" is a unique dish of Sudan. It is a dish which has cooked fava beans with vegetables-derived oil and cumin, which is eaten in Arab to the Middle East and Africa region.


Once you taste the dishes, go to bed. Originally one way to take a sleep by taking out the bed inside the building outdoors.


To Mr. Zand who asks "Why are you going to go to bed outside?"


Mr. Majin said, "Many Sudanese people choose to sleep outdoors because they awaken earlier than anyone by taking the sun's light in the morning.


"Well, who wants to go to bed with a single pants or girls?" Mr. Zando laughs, "I guess there's nothing better to get used to. It seems to be said that it can be said that it is easy to understand that the lifestyle changes if it changes.


The party asleep until this morning as it is.


"The next morning, Mr. Zando went to former Meroe Kingdom.Meloe, which was located on the east bank of the Nile River and has enjoyed wealth, now has 200 pyramids in the 3rd century BC It is registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, currently only 15,000 people visit this pyramid a year, only a small scale compared to the Egyptian pyramid. "


The sun starts to rise, one direction that starts to wake up when the neighborhood is getting brighter.


One way to stop by a coffee shop on the way. I am listening to the owner's men about the existence of pyramids.


A man at the coffee shop asked, "Do you know what happened in the past pyramid?" Answered, "I have heard rumors, but I do not know anything about the truth." In response to the question "Are you afraid of everyone?", He said, "I was not afraid, I do not know anything about everyone."


One way to aim for local again. Eventually the building will be visible in front of you.


At last I arrived at the pyramid of Meroe. There are many large and small pyramids.


Many of them have collapsed vertices. For this reason, the reasons described below are hidden.


A spectacle scrolling in the desert


A pyramid with a very elongated shape is also included


This pyramid also seems to have escaped weathering by the dry climate of the desert.


However, since little protection has been done, there is an act of tourists destroying the ruins. Again this problem seems to be a big problem commonly occurring in the world.



The reason why the tip is destroyed, it was to bring treasures thought to be in the pyramid when the Italian investigation team visited in the 1800s.


But I do not know well whether there was treasure in fact or what was taken away.


Because it was registered as a world heritage, it seems that protection is being carried out in part. This problem is a common issue for all human beings.


◆ Part 2
"The pride in decisive cultures seen in the youth population, which is the majority of the population, is a long way to bring about the prosperity of Sudan, as Arab and African identities confront the question of citizen's disintegration, Sudan Young people are trying to find meaning to be Sudanese by using amazing means · "poetry"


Mr. Mazin, who was accompanying Mr. Zand, is also writing poetry. "I want people to know this country, I want this country to get better, I want to devote life to that"


Mr. Zand visited a room where many people gather at night.


People gathered here and they are publishing their thoughts in poetry.


It also shows how to shoot a recitation with iPhone. Sudan often tends to embrace the image of 'civil war' or 'poverty', but there seems to be many people with smartphones such as iPhone and Android in town, and most of those who recite poetry read the manuscripts written on smartphones reading.


Mr. Zand who was invited as a guest also decided to read a poem.


Applauding its contents. As you can see, the feelings of people gathered and the country is being built.


◆ Part 3
"For Sudanese people, pride for their culture is not beginning now, which is also seen in the" Nava wrestling "tradition of 3000 years"


The party visited was a wrestling place where a ring of earth was installed in the center. A lot of people are watching the appearance of the game.


Nuba wrestling is held every Friday evening. It is one of the identities of the Sudanese and the child also enjoyed the game.


The game is very exciting and occasionally a couple of spectators' happiness may happen.


At first, Mr. Zand was thoroughly observed, but in the hurry "International Exhibition Match" will be held.


It was a battle between Sudan and Britain as well as its contents.


Mr. Zand who does not even know the rules well is a worrying expression.


But the game started. Mr. Zand is wearing a blue shirt.


In contrast, Sudan players took off their shirts and was completely serious. Lower posture and long limbs make you feel superior physical ability.


It was Mr. Zand who tried boldly to attack ... ...


I decided to be knocked down. This is useless as it does not even know the rules.


However, the Sudanese player who defeated Mr. Zando gave Mr. Zand a graceful praise. This is a heartwarming moment.


Then I took a round around the street while being carried. Furthermore, another person carries it and another round. It is a wonderful sight that you feel that there are no borders in games that battle against each other and fight.


Mr. Zand who left the ring is a popular person in the field. I was sent off by a Sudanese citizen who was dressed in traditional costumes and left the venue behind.


In the last message "I can hardly hear the history and story of Sudan, but when I actually witness it myself, they will never be unforgettable", concluding the movie I will.
