Cultivate food crops so as to fight hunger, Nuba Relief Rehabilitation and Development Organization Coordinator urged citizens.
He said citizens should cultivate enough food to challenge the International community’s refusal to grant aid to the population of South Kordofan.
The Coordinator affirmed that people should be food independent so as to maintain dignity and respect for self-reliance.
Secretariat of Child Welfare in the region, Ekram Sadiqu told the crowd that women were active compared to men.
