In 2016, me and my friend went to one of the states of Sudan, called North Kordofan, where there is the city of El Abyad and Bara. The first day was our journey to explore the El Abyad city and its landscape. When we arrived, we saw a mountain at the entrance to the city. The next morning we went to that mountain, after climbing the mountain and it was very exhausting We were thirsty We did not carry with us a drop of water "We are stupid" We had to find a source of natural water to drink it, but instead of finding water We found a soldier of the army Reflecting nature above the mountain, He says it is a daily journey from the base to this mountain Relaxation and a sense of calm, and in spite of our thirst we took share our talk about other areas and its beauty. The soldier said that there are many areas he visited alone. He loves calm away from the war and the sound of fire. He always looked for places where he felt happy. My friend and I were touched by the soldier's words because we know that our country has been ravaged by war and we always strive to show it in the best possible way. This is our plan from our internal journey to show the beauty of the Sudan to the Sudanese themselves and to the whole world. This was the conclusion of our day, that there are soldiers who hate war and like calm and tranquility, love their country and love its nature, they are not devoid of feelings and sensibilities as we thought We did not forget our thirst, even though we were touched by the soldier's words. We asked him about a place where there was water. He told us there on the top of the other mountain there was a pool of water stored in the rocks because of the rain, despite the extreme fatigue of climbing we went to the other mountain and climbed to the top to find the water. Not drinkable, we had the crazy laugh at that moment and we returned to our inclusion disappointed. Finally we found a shady tree that we could sit under to take some rest until the sunset to photograph the views from above the mountain, which was our main goal, after waiting for sunset and taking pictures we finally got out of the mountain in total darkness. But we had a water bag in the bottom brought by a local friend, we drank a lot of water and ended our day and we are very happy. Today we are in 2018 and two years have passed on this story but I remember it as yesterday.
