His name was Al-Tayeb Al-Hadi Ahmed. He was 16 years old.
Both his parents were dead. He was raising five younger siblings. He owed two measures of sesame and four sacks of sorghum.
He went looking for work near the Sudanese-Egyptian border. He never came home.
His final words to his siblings?
“I forgive you, and I am pleased with you. Please forgive me, too.”
Even as he lay dying, he worried about repaying the sesame he owed.
Sixteen years old. Five younger siblings. A debt measured in sesame.
This is what war and displacement have done to Sudan’s children. Robbed them of their childhoods, forced them to carry unimaginable burdens, and, in Al-Tayeb’s case, stolen their lives.
May Allah grant him Jannah and protect the five children he leaves behind.
Remember his name. Remember Sudan.

The only acceptable reason to have kids is that you want to nurture and care for another being.
That's it. That's all of the good reasons. Not because you want someone to take care of you in your old age, not because you want them to take on a certain career, to give you grandkids, to further your religion. None of that. To bring a child into this world with expectations makes it unethical to have one, it lays the foundation for emotional blackmail; as in, 'I brought you into this world and raised you, had you for this reason so give me that happiness'. No one owes you anything for the things you do out of your own will for your own sake, not even your children.
