If someone in the village is quarreling with someone else,

will not try to ascertain the truth, or where justice lies,
but will set itself the sole task of ending the conflict
and conciliating the warring sides.

Very moving. I spent my childhood and young teen years in The Sudan and am deeply saddened by its subsequent (post 1965) history. I believe I am still seeing hope in some of these faces; it's a wonderful country with wonderful people and I cherish the memories: it is too bad that they are of a place that exists now only in the memory.
