Arriving Khartoum after hours of Lufthansa

Saturday afternoon Oct 25th approximately on time, meaning 17:15 we arrived at Khatoum International Airport and were met by Fatin and Sabet as well as the drivers both of the hotell and the Upper Nile University.

Fatin and Sabet both from Upper Nile University in Malakal are just starting their one year FK staff exchange programme going to Kyambogo University in Uganda and to Akershus University College in Norway.

They were both expressing their gratitude towards the kind and excellent services they have received at the Royal Norwegian Embassy and at the Embassy of Uganda in Khartoum. They expected to be allowed to leave Khartoum for Nairobi and Kampala Sunday aternoon.

Fatin's visa for visiting Norway is still not a hundred 100 % ready, but we both hope and believe that it will be ready in due time with the help of Helle and her colleag-ues at the Royal Norwegian Embassy in Kampala and with the good support from Ola and his team in Khartoum.

The evening was a very pleasant one which was spent together with Professor Faisal and the Danish speaking director of the hotel in a fascinating out door restaurant. Not surprisingly, the theme was the obvious needs of all kinds of vocational education in Sudan, both in the North and in the South.
