This is my personal weblog not dedicated to a particular cause or subject ...but I do have some interests...so this blog will probably run the gamut but often gravitate to the subject of "Sudanese Music/Culture/Soccer."Ibrahim M.

Hats off to Enyimba and Nigerian soccerEnyimba United are a team that deserve respect. They play a fine and commanding game. They were able to weather the Hillal and the crowd with calm and deliberate strategy - taking out Yousef Mohammed and turning the pressure on Hillal's usually indomitable midfield. They owned midfield and Hillal was not able to play their usual cohesive and nimble 2-touch

Some things for Heron Ricardo to think about: Defender Richard Justin is making lethal mistakes that are costing goals but he did save a couple of lethal opportunities from under the feet of Enyimba's strikers. Ahmed Adil who is playing with good confidence, considering that this is his first African season, is to be commended. At this rate he will have a bright future. For now though, there is

Got up this morning (US - PST) and watched Meriekh vs Olympique khrebka of Morroco, in their return game in Omdurman. In a dissapointing game our homeside advanced on a goalless draw.I really hope Kroger, Mazda and the administration can solve the current attacking weakness in the team. Captain Faisal Al-3ajab is way past his prime and is visibly heavy. Although his skill, inventivness and a

Hillal off to a good but difficult startHillal (of Sudan) won their first quarter-final Group duel of the African Champions League2008 (Friday July 18th), against a formidable Enyimba United of Nigeria . After lagging 0-1 and being held at 2-2, earlier in the game, Hillal's recent Nigerian addition - Ifeanyi Onigbo (AKA "Iviani") headed the winning goal for Hillal in the dying minutes of the

Speaking of Ali Mamoun - here he is at Khartoum Airport in mid- December 2006, upon his first visit to Sudan in 6 years! You can see how happy he is :-) wouldn't you be?Many family members were there to greet him. We were all thrilled! Al-Khartoum nawarat on that evening.

On November 24th 2006, we travelled to Sudan for vacation (Sara - my wife, Mamoun and Mohammed - my sons). We returned in mid-January after spending 50 wonderful days in Khartoum.50 days is a long time in "dog" years!....a lengthy vacation by USA standards. Well it was 2 years worth, since we skipped the annual trip in winter of 2005.What you see here is a picture of our luggage...Take my

This is a shot I took today of Tarik Salim's silver Mercedes (123 body style), parked on the pavement outside my house in Santa Clara. I am not sure what year make it is - maybe 1984? and....get a load of this it is Diesel!! I found myself admiring it....still looks as splendid as this kind did in the 80's ....an air all its own, in all its retro glory now - just proof that good style

[In the name of God the most gracious and most merciful]digitally speaking...My name is Ibrahim Mamoun Ibrahim. Like many of you, it has been a nagging desire of mine - to keep a journal or memoir. I have also had the desire to write a column in a paper or magazine somewhere ...someday.......thanks to the internet, one can do both - write a blog and share thoughts and experiences publicly.
