Season of Migration to the North

Season of Migration to the North by Tayeb Salih

Somebody goes back to their home in Sudan. There things happen. He encounters people from other places like England. There are conflicts as well as intersection between east and west. It is rather short, not really bad, but not really great either.

The Red Pencil

The Red Pencil by Andrea Davis Pinkney

A family lives in a part of Darfur, Sudan. They are traditional farmers and Muslims. One of the girl's friends is going to move to the city. There she can attend a school and sell to others. The girl's family want her to maintain a traditional role and don't want to move. The girl has a sibling with some deformities and a sheep. One day some of another group come in and burn their farm. The sheep were burned. Some people die and the family needs to move to a refugee camp. The conditions were not great, but they are alive. They do see a TV and see the school that the girl's friend had attended. They have hope of improving their condition and having peace.
