Spreading some joy: I got tenure!

It was an arduous journey, didn't think I'd ever get promoted. The decision came down last month but it finally hit me (in a good way) earlier today when I had to make a last minute edit to my slides to fix my title.

I've felt more relief than joy since finding out, but today for the first time I felt genuine happiness. I wanted to share this with you since this community has been a big part of my journey in more ways than you can imagine. It's been really wonderful seeing all the advice, tips, rants (I'm looking at you AI), and keeping up with news about academia.

So long, and thanks for all the fish!

Here's the latest UNHCR report of IDPs and refugees

Source: https://data.unhcr.org/en/situations/sudansituation

Data is sourced from multiple agencies (e.g., IOM) but most experts agree that it's difficult to track and this is likely an under-count by a wide margin. This is particularly true for those internally displaced (IDPs) since they don't always register with agencies unless they reside in a displacement camp; many just stay with relatives or rent. The source link above provides more data on IDPs.

The gender breakdown by country is quite interesting. South Sudan is mostly younger refugees (boys and girls), while Egypt and Libya is mostly adults, where the former is mostly women and the latter is mostly men.

There was a big spike in new arrivals two years ago followed by a smaller spike early last year, but the total has mostly stabilized in the past year. The data doesn't show the number of refugees who have since returned to Sudan.

Overall, over 11 million were forcibly displaced and there are nearly 4 million Sudanese refugees in other countries. Egypt has the largest number at 1.5M and while S. Sudan is a close second (~1.4M), most of them are S. Sudanese refugees who returned when the war started.

What restaurants in Khartoum, Port Sudan, Atbara, etc do you consider fine dining?

Where are you taking your significant other for a special occasion or romantic dinner? Someplace with good food, excellent service, and a nice vibe.

To those who are in Egypt, what's the atmosphere like during their world cup games?

They're up 3-1 now. Really happy for our Egyptian friends.

Do you make your own shisha tobacco? I have some questions...

I've been thinking about making my own stuff. I saw some videos and it looks doable. Might take some trial and error to get right but I'm OK with that.

​

My questions are:

​

  1. What was your overall experience like? Was it ultimately worth it?

​

  1. Are there any resources or online communities for sharing recipes and tips that you can recommend?

​

  1. Any pro-tips or rookie mistakes you can share?

​

Thanks for your help.

Wishing you all a blessed Eid | كل عام و أنتم بخير

اللهم يا حنّان يا منّان، في أيام العيد المباركة دي، نسألك تفرّج كرب أهلنا في السودان. اللهم ارفع الغمة عن البلد، وبدّل خوفهم أمن، وعسرهم يسر. يا رب ارحم ضعفنا وقلة حيلتنا، واجمع شملنا على خير.
