In this news we published in March, we announced the event organized by Waging Peace on May, 5. Over 750 members of the community joined the organization for ‘All Sudan Cultural Day 2018’ in Birmingham.
Sudan’s most famous musicians, like Omer Ihsas attented the event, as well as local MP Richard Burden who said it was important to “celebrate the really rich and diverse culture and heritage of Sudan”, so that Sudanese “voices are heard inside our democratic process here in the UK”.
We can read on Waging Peace website:
To the asylum-seekers and refugees that attended, the event helped them feel a stronger link to a shared Sudanese identity, as well as to their newer British home. One lady who came, despite the fact that she struggling through the asylum process at the moment, said: “for a while I was able to forget everything”.
The organization adds the event was funded by The Big Lottery Fund, but the time it took them to put it on was unfunded. So if you would like to support this, as well as their other work, you can donate on this page.
