ATEM YAAK ATEM, 2003

Sudan from which South Sudan split in 2011 has been known for its years of political and social upheaval since the end of the British colonial rule. The two countries are intimately linked to one another by their history that anyone writing about what has become known as the Sudans cannot hope to provide a meaningful context without reference to that shared past. This is what the author has done in this volume of his memoir. Some of the writings appearing in this book examine other social and cultural aspects of the South Sudan either at times of conflict or during interludes of tranquillity. Some of the stories are funny, for instance, "If rudeness were a commodity, we would be its biggest exporters in the world"; while his handling of "Sudan Time Syndrome", he is as excoriating as he is unforgiving in his denunciation of the laxity with punctuality some people show when expected to attend public functions.

Atem Yaak Atem has covered - and commented on- the affairs of his country, Sudan and later, South Sudan, for four decades, in his role as a senior journalist. Some of those writings appear in this collection; they capture the essence of his non-chronological, four- volume memoir, of which Jungle Chronicle (which he considers a "starter" is the first instalment.

Beyond beautiful!
Color: A-White, Color: A-White
This arrived in a beautiful bronze box protected by a cellophane sheath. Inside, the watch is amply padded with black foam; there are ample instructions and a tool to remove links. The rose-gold watch measures 9 inches long with all of its links attached and is protected by cellophane and a removable film. The watch face is a very light silver with clear rhinestones as most of the numbers, has rose-gold hands with white centers, and is covered by a watch glass with faceted edges. The rose gold band has six charms- three on each side, framing the watch face. Four are clovers with stippled edges and a faceted clear rhinestone center. Two are a cluster of four hearts- 2 solid hearts and 2 hearts with three clear rhinestones in the center. All of its edges are rounded for comfort for all-day wear. It's also water resistant for hand-washing. The face measures 3cm by 2cm which is the perfect size. I'm a dress size 4, 122 lbs and I removed 2 links, so plenty of room for all sized women. I cannot say enough about the quality and beauty of this watch. The pictures don't do it justice. Just gorgeous! Amazing value.
