Tears of the Desert Quotes

“Darfur. I know to you this must be a word soaked in suffering and blood. A name that conjures up terrible images of a dark horror and an evil without end. Pain and cruelty on a magnitude inconceivable in most of the civilized world. But to me Darfur means something quite different: It was and is that irreplaceable, unfathomable joy that is home.”
― Halima Bashir, Tears of the Desert: A Memoir of Survival in Darfur
