Sudan video clips


The first clip I learned that women in Sudan cannot wear trousers, they have to get slashes because it's crime.  The woman in this video is actually doing this in purpose. She's challenging the laws, laws that are humiliating women. I think it is unfair, since this country is sharia law, women are definitely unfair comparing to men.

The second clip is about hunger and malnutrition. Children from Sudan were very poor, they don't have enough food to eat, so they became malnourished. The mother's worries were not shown from the face, but they must be upset about it. This is normal to them, because there are a lot of children had this problem. The drought had destroyed their crops and now they had no food left. I think they really need support or else a lot of children would starve to death, but children nowadays in Sudan are really in pain since they're suffering from this situation.

The third clip is about water in Sudan. The person who's recording the video is sitting with the person from Sudan. I learned he seems that he had never seen a camera before. That means that Sudan is lag of technology. I also learned that Sudan's drinking water is very dirty, they're full of mud. The people still drink it, because they have no choice. But look at us, we've got what we need, we've got high amount of water supply. We can have water anytime, but people in Sudan has to walk to the place to get water, then go back to their homes and carry them back again. Having water in our daily lives is normal, convenient, we just turn the tab on then we can have water. Sometimes we also waste it, but a lot of people in Sudan doesn't waste a single drop of water.
