About Hasaheisa!

Hasaheisa is one of many impoverished cities in central Sudan situated on the western banks of the Blue Nile river. It's located approximately 100 miles south of Khartoum, the capital city of Sudan.

This Blog is dedicated to the people of Hasaheisa who suffered a lot at the hands of the technocrats of the Central Government of the country, no matter what political system these governments represented.

The military regime of the dictator Numeri (1969-1985) ignored any developemnt plans for the city. The technocrats of the democratically elected government of Prime Minister Sadig al-Mahdi (1986-1989) committed one of the worst man-made environmental crimes when they secretly dumped more than 500 metric tons of obsolete pesticides in three pits less than a mile of the Blue Nile river.

The theocratic dictatirship of General Bashir (1989-present) continued the cover-up of this environmental crime and committed more. They also targeted the peaceful political opposition in town against the regime and killed many activists under torture.

Together, we hope, to dedicate this Blog to highlight the environment of the city, socially, politically, culturally, and physically....
