Homesickness

I write this having been on a job hunt outside of Sudan for a month or so.
Economic hardship and a bleak looking future has forced myself and many many young{and not so young} people to leave their homes and search for better opportunities.
Keeping up with local Sudanese news has become a hardship.Every idiotic statement from an official's mouth,every story of hardship from friends and family{bread queue's being the latest},cuts deep.
No wonder so many youth are disenchanted with not only politics but the idea of Sudan itself.To care is to hurt.
I've come to the conclusion that it is much easier for me personally to criticize and lament our situation than provide answers/solutions/alternatives.
So I now want to look for solutions.
It can't be the only way to bring change is through a bullet{the ballot has failed us}.
