Tears of the Desert
Halima Bashir was born into the remote western deserts of Sudan. She grew up in a wonderfully rich environment and later went on to study medicine. At the age of twenty-four she returned to her tribe and began practising as their first ever qualified doctor. But then a dark cloud descended upon her people... Janjaweed Arab militias began savagely assaulting her people. At first, Halima tried not to get involved. But in January 2004 they attacked people in her village. Halima treated the traumatised victims and was sickened by what she saw. She decided to speak out in a Sudanese newspaper and to the UN charities. Then the secret police came for her. For days Halima was interrogated and subjected to unspeakable torture. She finally escaped but the nightmare just seemed to follow her... This inspiring story tells of one woman's determination to survive and her passion to defend her people. For the first time, we can truly understand the personal horrors of Darfur from someone who lived through it.
Tears of the Desert
Halima Bashir was born in the remote desert of Darfur, Sudan, and was raised in a loving family that was part of the black African Zaghawa tribe. In a rare privilege for a girl of her village, she attended junior and secondary school in a nearby town.

But war had already broken out in Darfur when Dr. Bashir began her practice, and the violence perpetrated by Janjaweed Arab militias was spreading. In January 2004, the militia attacked a remote school and gang-raped 42 schoolgirls. Dr. Bashir was the only source of help in her nearby one-room me...

Halima
”Darfur. Ein Wort, das mit Blut und Leiden getränkt ist. Ein Begriff, der schrecklichste Bilder heraufbeschwört. Schmerzen und Grauen, die in der zivilisierten Welt unvorstellbar wären. Aber für mich ist Darfur auch noch etwas anderes: Es ist meine Heimat.“ Halima Bashir, eine junge Ärztin aus dem Sudan, legt Zeugnis ab. Als Halima 1979 zur Welt kommt, träumt ihr Vater, dass sein Kind heilende Kräfte haben wird - und tatsächlich gelingt es Halima als erster Vertreterin ihres Stammes, an einer arabischen Universität Medizin zu studieren. Doch kaum beginnt sie zu praktizieren, greifen die im Sudan schwelenden Konflikte auf die Darfur-Region über. Die Gewalttaten der arabischen Mi...
