It's 2006 and I am greeted back to the blog world with the news that I have been nominated for a 'Bloggie' (in the 'Best Africa or Middle East blog').
I am told that this is quite a prestigious affair and I must now go and tell the world to vote for me at 2006.bloggies.com - having just come back from visiting the site myself though, I'd absolutely forgive you if you end up getting sidetracked with checking out some of the truly hysterical and fabulous weblogs that have been nominated, and simply forgot to cast your vote. Happy reading.

Congratulations! You are indeed most deserving.
Glad you're back!
(And rather pleased with myself at being way ahead of you on at least one thing: I noticed that Bloggie nomination *ages* ago, that is, a couple of days, and already voted for you. So there.)
Hi Sleepless,
Congrats on the Bloggie, I voted for you. Please keep blogging about Sudan, people need to hear your stories.
Any thoughts or comments on this BBC article: Rebels battling for Darfur town?
Also, I just learned that Oxfam prohibits its representatives from calling what's gone on in Darfur what it is, a genocide, because if they do their aid workers could be kicked out. It's really too bad. Are you under any restriction like that, and if so, are you ignoring it? I'm glad you've been speaking out and I hope more aid workers in other parts of the world (we need a Sleepless in Northern Uganda blog) will do so.
Just some more clarification on censorship (including self-censorship) in Sudan - yes, all aid agencies who work in Darfur are extremely careful about what they say in public. This is not because they are turning a blind eye to the situation, but because their staff's safety and their ability to operate would be under serious threat if they spoke out more explicitly about the things they are seeing.
While the expat aid workers are indeed very likely to get kicked out for making public statements, this risk pales in comparison to the one that our Sudanese colleagues face - intimidation, harassment, abduction, brutalisation and in some cases murder. Both local and international staff are often at risk of retaliation even when media statements or appeals have come from an aid agency's headquarters in Europe or the US.
Everyone on the ground knows of situations where security incidents (abductions, rapes, and even killings) were specifically targetted at certain NGOs in response to something they said and did. In this sense, the threat of arrest or getting staff booted out of the country may be one thing - risking a colleague's life or safety is quite another.
Unfortunately, Darfur is still a conflict zone - and making strong public statements about any party to the conflict (be they government forces, rebels or militia) is extremely risky for organisations whose main job is providing assistance to the victims of the conflict.
While these agencies might try to affect some change behind the scenes or even choose to pass on information to journalists, human rights lobbyists or prosecutors, they would simply no longer be able to operate safely in the field if they took a hard line stance against the government, the rebels, or anyone else running around Darfur with a gun.
Instead, we try to find other solutions that go beyond just immediate assistance to victims. This blog is just one of them.
Congratulations and welcome back to the blogging-world!
You deserve it sister!! Thank you for sharing these stories. There is so much sadness and joy in this part of the world...we must not forget about them.
very well done! i have really enjoyed reading your blog.

Testimony of financial breakthrough from GOD through the help of Funding Circle Loan INC. (fundingloanplc@yahoo.com OR Call/Text +14067326622)...
Hi I'am Evelyn Russell resident at 808 NE 19th St Oklahoma City, I am a single mother blessed with 2 daughters. For a while now I have been searching for a genuine loan lender who could help me with a loan as I no longer have a job, all I got were hoodlums who made me trust them and at the end they took my money without giving me any loan, my hope was lost, I got confused and frustrated, it became difficult for my family to feed with a good meal, I never wanted to have anything to do with any loan lending companies on the internet again. Not until I met a Godsent loan lender that changed my life and that of my family Through the help of a fellowship member "a lender with the fear of God in him Mr JASON RAYMOND, he was the man God sent to elevate my family from suffering. At first I thought it wasn’t going to be possible due to my previous experience until I received my loan worth $135,000.00 USD in less then 24hours. So my advise to anyone out there genuinely in need of a loan is to contact Funding Circle Loan INC through this official email:- fundingloanplc@yahoo.com OR Call/Text +14067326622 and be financial lifted.

get your ex back with a love spell that works fast.
Dr.Jumba has helped thousands of women get their Ex boyfriends back using his real effective love Spell. After my boyfriend of one year broke up with me, I could barely speak without crying. I felt blindsided and didn't know what to do. I didn't know if I could get him back and the anxiety was unbearable. I needed him back desperately because I loved him so much. So I contacted this great spell caster for help. He helped me cast a return love spell on him and just within 11 hours my boyfriend came back to me crying and begging for my forgiveness. Dr. Jumba released him to know how much I loved and wanted him. And He also opened his eyes to picture how much love we have shared together. As I am writing this testimony right now I am the happiest woman on earth. I want to recommend this great spell caster to anyone that truly needs an urgent solution to a love break up. Email him at wiccalovespelltools@yahoo.com , wiccalovespelltools@gmail.com or Call/WhatsApp him: +19085174108 "I'm so grateful and can say that if you have been broken up with and want to get that person back, Dr.Jumba is the best!
