Halima Bashir Poradie kníh (chronologicky)

Halima Bashir’s story is a remarkable testament to resilience and courage amid the turmoil of war in Darfur. As the first memoir by a woman from this conflict, it chronicles her journey as a member of the Zaghawa tribe in Sudan. Doted on by her father, a cattle herder, and guided by her strong grandmother, Halima received a good education, excelling beyond her peers. Her father’s support enabled her to pursue medicine, and by twenty-four, she became her village’s first doctor. However, her achievements could not shield her from the violence that engulfed her homeland. The Janjaweed Arab militias, often backed by the Sudanese military, began brutal assaults on the Zaghawa people. In 2004, they attacked her village, resulting in the horrific rape of schoolgirls and teachers. As a doctor treating these traumatized victims, Halima found her voice and could no longer remain silent. Her decision to speak out led to dire consequences, but it also illuminated the plight of countless innocent lives lost in what is becoming one of the most devastating genocides of the twenty-first century. This powerful account serves as a global call to action, urging the world to recognize and respond to the ongoing atrocities.

Dráma lekárky, ktorá prežila vojnové peklo v Sudáne. Genocída, násilie a vraždenie ako výsledok etnických nepokojov v provincii Darfúr očami jednej z obetí.Knihu Slzy púšte napísala Sudánka Halima Bashir s pomocou spisovateľa Damiena Lewisa. Aj ona sa musí skrývať za vymyslené meno. V prípade odhalenia identity by jej rodine žijúcej v Afrike stále hrozili kruté represálie. Halima žila ako dieťa spokojným životom v milujúcej rodine, jej nadanie ju predurčilo, že ako jedna z mála zo svojho kmeňa dosiahla vysokoškolské vzdelanie a stala sa lekárkou. Už v škole sa stretáva so zvláštne napätými vzťahmi medzi pôvodnými černošskými obyvateľmi Sudánu a Arabmi, ktorí sa v krajine považujú za privilegovanú vrstvu. Napätie prerastie do rasových nepokojov, Halima ako lekárka v nemocnici rovnako ošetruje ranených z oboch táborov, vláda ju však za trest posiela pracovať na kliniku do malej dediny v oblasti zmietanej najostrejšími bojmi. Tam sa stáva svedkom nerovného boja medzi dobre vyzbrojenými Arabmi a čiernymi povstalcami, pomôcť však musí aj desiatkam dievčat v školskom veku, ktoré v škole znásilní horda ozbrojencov. Halima podá správu zástupcom Spojených národov, vzápätí po ňu prídu ozbrojení muži. Skutočnosť je ešte strašnejšia, než si predstavovala.
