As an AI language model, I don't have personal experiences or emotions, so I don't perceive questions as "stupid." However, I can understand that some questions may be considered sensitive, inappropriate, or based on stereotypes. It's important to approach discussions and questions with respect, empathy, and an understanding of individual circumstances.

1. "Why are you still single?"
This question assumes that being single is undesirable or there is something wrong with being single. However, being single is a personal choice or a result of various factors such as personal preferences, timing, or individual circumstances. It's important to respect someone's relationship status and not make assumptions or judgments based on it.

2. "Why are you poor?"
This question assumes that being poor is solely the result of personal choices or character flaws. In reality, poverty can be influenced by a wide range of complex factors, including systemic issues, socioeconomic circumstances, lack of opportunities, or other external factors. It's important to approach discussions about poverty with sensitivity and understanding.

3. "How come that beautiful girl is in love with that poor guy?"
This question implies a judgment based on appearances and socioeconomic status. Love and attraction are complex emotions that can transcend superficial factors like wealth or physical appearance. People form connections and relationships based on a variety of qualities, including personality, shared values, emotional connection, and more. It's important not to make assumptions or judgments about relationships based solely on external factors.

It's always advisable to ask questions that are respectful, considerate, and sensitive to others' feelings and circumstances.

Feeling far away from your kids and family can be difficult, but there are several ways to cope and stay connected:

1. Stay in touch: Regular communication through phone calls, video chats, messaging apps, or social media can help you feel more connected to your loved ones. Share photos, stories, and updates about your daily life.

2. Schedule visits: Plan visits with your family as often as possible, whether it's for holidays, special occasions, or just a weekend getaway. This will give you something to look forward to and strengthen your bond.

3. Create new traditions: Start new traditions with your immediate family or friends in your current location. This can include weekly dinners, movie nights, or game nights.

4. Share experiences: Share experiences with your loved ones, whether it's a new hobby you've picked up, a book you've read, or a place you've visited. This can help them feel more connected to your life.

5. Practice gratitude: Express gratitude for the time you do spend with your family, even if it's not as much as you'd like. Focus on the positive aspects of your relationship and the memories you've created together.

6. Seek support: If you're feeling particularly lonely or homesick, reach out to friends, join a support group, or consider talking to a therapist. They can provide emotional support and help you develop coping strategies.

Remember, feeling far away from your family is normal, but it doesn't have to define your relationship. With effort and communication, you can maintain strong bonds and create new memories, no matter the distance.

Biography of General Ibrahim Abboud first President of the republic of Sudan.

On November 17, 1958, a military take-over of the Sudan government took place headed by a ruthless leader named General Ibrahim Abboud. Immediately, he declared a state of emergency throughout the country and appointed military governors as well as established military courts and military police forces. A decree was issued that dissolved the parliament and all political parties in the country. General Abboud ensured that the transitional constitution was also suspended, giving him free reign of the country. General Abboud was born on October 26, 1900 in the village of Suakin on the Red Sea. He was educated as an Engineer at the Gordon Memorial College in Khartoum. In 1918, he graduated from the Military College controlled by the British government and subsequently traveled to Britain where he took additional military training. General Abboud then served in the Eritrean and Ethiopian military conflict against the Italians. He also served militarily in Libya. He rose in rank to become the deputy commander of the Sudanese army in 1954.

Once in power, in December 1960, General Abboud issued a secret decree to his administrators working in Southern Sudan to arrest all Southern politicians. Specifications were given in the decree that the trials of the politicians must result in the sentence of either life in prison or death. General Abboud wanted to ensure that no Southern Sudanese politician would participate in politics or oppose his policies. This forced many Southern Sudanese politicians and civilians to flee to neighboring countries like Uganda, Kenya, Ethiopia and Central African Republic. Those who fled included political figures like Fr. Saturnino Lohure, Joseph Oduho, William Deng and Aggrey Jaden. While in exile, the Southern Sudanese politicians began forming organization such as the Sudan Christian Association and the Sudan African Closed Districts National Union (SACDNU) which was later renamed Sudan African National Union (SANU). Noting the aggression and repressive force of General Abboud’s regime, SANU decided to establish a guerilla wing to its movement and named it the Anya-Nya guerilla movement. Anya-Nya was initiated to fight against Sudan's military government. General Abboud and his military regime did not stop implementing indiscriminate attacks on villages and towns in Southern Sudan that led to the countless deaths of Southerners in Yei, Maridi, Malakal, Wau and other regions. The Anya-Nya guerilla fighters engaged in heavy fighting with the Sudan government and often the government soldiers would retaliate by killing innocent Southern civilians.

General Abboud also began to enact policies that promoted the spread of Arabic and Islamisation in the Southern region in belief that it will achieve unity in the future between the South and North Sudan. Koranic schools were also established in the South and Islamic teachers were brought in to teach in the schools. Furthermore, six intermediate Islamic Institutes were established in Juba, Wau, Yei Maridi, Raga and Kadok. A secondary Islamic Institute was opened in Juba and several religious institutions for adults were also opened. In 1961, General Abboud and his regime banned all Christian religious gatherings except in Churches. On February 27, 1962, the Ministry of the Interior announced the expulsion of all Christian missionaries from Southern Sudan. As a result, 272 Verona Fathers and 28 Protestants were forcibly removed from Southern Sudan.

General Abboud and his military regime ensured Southerners who had high government positions in different districts were demoted or fired and Northerners were placed in these positions. In addition, security forces stationed in the various regions of Southern Sudan were permitted to whip Southerners who came late to their government jobs. A Southern Sudanese politician named Alexis Mbali Yangu recounts how Southern workers and civilians were mistreated by the military regime. Yangu stated, “The methods used in getting laborers are always violent. People are rounded up in any locality, regardless of s*x or age, and driven to the place of work by the police. Each person is given a piece of work to finish in a given time. Nobody can leave his work, no matter how pressing the reason or how short the absence might be. No wage is paid for the work done. Regardless of taxation, every male Southerner between the ages of 18 to 70, whether employed or not is obliged to pay a poll tax...The method used in collecting taxes is pillaging. An area is suddenly surrounded by police, and those without tax receipts are at once arrested. Violence is used to force the surrender of valuable property, such as furniture, foodstuffs, goats, sheep, or chickens, which later are sold at a very low price to Arab officials, merchants and soldiers.”

Ironically, in 1961, General Abboud was invited to the U.S. where President John F. Kennedy praised him and the Sudan military government for setting a good example of living in peace with its neighbors. The tyrannical rule of General Abboud came to an end when he was forced to resign from power by Northern Sudanese on November 15, 1964. This ended the first period of military rule in Sudan. General Abboud then moved to Britain where he lived for several years. He later returned to Khartoum where he died on September 8, 1983 at the old age of 82.
