For many persons, these words would mean nothing. The reality is that each of these words carried for me serious implications and challenges in the years that I spent working in Sudan. Each of them brought with it feelings of sadness, a sort of “tristesse” that is hard to define, yet overwhelming at certain moments. In many instances, it left me helpless because there was so little I could change except continuing to be there.
