The country will welcome any guest who comes to us. We hope from God that the wars will stop and that the two parties will agree on a solution to the situation, a solution for the homeland, saving our youth and reforming our conditions and the conditions of Muslims The doors of our homes are open, and we will welcome any guest who comes to us. Generosity and goodness exist,” said Mrs. Nemat Jabal Sayed Hassan, who lives in Wadi Halfa.
