Current geography of Sudan. It borders eight countries, Chad to the West, Central African Republic and the newly Republic of South Sudan to the South, Eritrea and Ethiopia to the East, and Egypt and Libya from the North, and the population pretty much overlapp with all the nations that borders it.

Nigerian photographer observation of the people

Late last year, September 2013, I was opportuned to visit Sudan for a week long masterclass in the art of documentary photography tagged “Where the Nile Meets”. It was anchored by Elder Akinbode Akinbiyi, a Nigerian based in Berlin, Germany. My initial perception of Sudan was built from sad stories of war and poverty as portrayed by the media. Although we landed in Khartoum, the capital, I felt a lot of the news had been overrated as I moved around. It was fascinating to go round the town and hear from these beautiful faces.

It was great to have met all these faces and shared great moments with them. I met a woman who said Sudan was a place for her to take time out with her kids and get some rest. More like a relaxation spot for her. I also met some of them, happy farmers and proud of what they do. It was a happy city with great people in it. I immediately made friends with everyone I had a conversation with and I decided to photograph them. Also worthy to note is their multicolour nature which was interesting to me.
