Q When you came for the third time you came to London and you sought asylum at that point how were you able to find news about what was happening in Sudan? What were your sources? Were you interested to find out?
I was interested but it was very difficult, it was very difficult indeed to get any further with this and I would rely on some friends who got some radios or some TVs and who can, but it was very difficult to hear from home. It was very difficult but I just needed to go out and get some newspapers, yeah. We buy some newspapers and then we read them especially Arabic newspapers. Yeah.
Q: And these days how do you keep in touch with what is happening?
Well this is very easy you see through the Internet, telephones and everything else, and people are going up and down the whole time
so usually depend on the Internet because all the newspapers are from the Sudan are on the Internet, and also people write there are certain forums where people write and discuss what is going on in Sudan. So we all get all this news from the Internet and from newspapers.
