and that my friend, is how you drink the jabana in kassala

an incense burner, a bowl of sugar, a thimble sized coffee cup, a clay coffee pot filled with ginger spiced coffee (jabana), on a plastic stool, on a crazy angle, beautiful granite mountains as the backdrop and a fucking plate of popcorn.

that’s all.

wall detail, souk al-arabi, khartoum

hat tip to ‘halfawi’ whose distinct graffiti is prolific throughout the alleyways off al-huriyah street. his drawings of khartoum street life often reflect the matter directly in front of him, and consequently, are usually found on the wall opposite to what is being depicted.

this wall, which forms the backdrop of a tiny alley cafe, contain major themes and characters from the two sudanese civil wars, that culminated in the creation of south sudan.

everyone i spoke with identified 'halfawi’ as crazy.
