Mohammed Hussein Daw-Alnoor, a camel breeder from Nyala in Sudan's South Darfur state, explains the importance of camels in the culture of Darfur's Rezeigat nomads. Despite decades of conflict and marginalisation, Darfur is bursting with vitality; it is home to more than 100 distinct tribes, each with their own art, customs and traditions.
This video is a Yoho Media Production for the Museums of Western Sudan; one of 40 short films produced for museums in Omdurman, Nyala and El Obeid, in collaboration with Sudan's National Corporation for Antiquities and Museums, with funding from the British Council's Cultural Protection Fund, in partnership with the UK government's Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport.
A big thank you to all those in Darfur who helped make this video possible, especially Mohammed Hussein Daw-Alnoor, Elsadiq Bedu, fixer, producer and all round genius, Gafrr Salih Blley, our unstoppable driver, and Attia Altahar for translation.
