Shouting Sudanese Sons

Nothing makes me more anxious than a shouting man.

Has since childhood.

Here there is nothing that makes me more anxious than a shouting Sudanese man.

And, these men shout alot.

They shout at people they know or do not know.

They shout at people they work with.

They shout in small rooms and wide open spaces.

They shout about football or not having football.

They shout about accounting issues.

They shout about political issues.

They shout about water and electricity or the lack of it.

They shout about Sudan.

They shout about women.

They shout when they are driving or walking.

They are always shouting.

And, when they are shouting their hands are waving.

This does not mean that they are angry or upset, although often they are.

Lots of anger below the surface.

There is only quiet when they are not shouting.

Or, Rascal is not barking.
