Shisha smoking rocks Southern Sudan war torn cities

By Atok Dan Baguoot 

It might sound vague and fake when not properly defined but Shisha or (molasses tobacco) is a sticky dark-brown honey-like substance that has a partial sweet smell at a close distance. It is normally placed in a small silvered plastic plate metal connected with a well-decorated burette or long neck bottle that resembles a conical flask with water meant to reduce the concentration of smoke that passes through while light grayish smoke comes out of the smoker's mouth and nose building cloudy environment around them. 

Its chemical contents and compositions remain illusive although researchers believed that Shisha provides smokers with a high appetite for all sorts of foods. While smoking (sucking), a person sweats severely which signifies relief and displacement of natural body chemical energy through idle processes. Second, to that, is the question of the eating affinity of idle Shisha smokers who claimed to eat without work. What they eat remains an unanswered question in the minds of mentally realistic persons. 

It started along the Arabian Peninsula amongst sailors who do overstay in the sea coldness while sailing to all parts of the world pursuing lucrative businesses hence; it found its way to modern Arab cities both in the Middle East and Northern African cities of Egypt, Tunisia, and Algeria and eventually into Khartoum by surprise. As a matter of religious facts and denials, Arab traders used it to substitute pure tobacco smoking and drinking prohibited by Islamic laws and Sharia which actually gave it unquestionable passage in those lands of facts distortion. 

Couple to that it was found not to contravene Islamic creed thus creating wider opportunities for redundant youths in all Egyptian cities to hurriedly pick it up immediately and move Southward of that glorified superior Arab nation where if something starts there then you don’t have to question. 

After it gained considerable fame in Egypt and also realized its repercussions they subsequently promulgated Parliamentary acts which barred it in public places as well as smoking during working hours but already its roots were now deepened in the Afro-Arab world's largest slum known as al Khartoum where 60% of its populace is idle according to International Labour Organization (ILO) facts finding research. 

As facts transfer, it rushed to its fertile zones of redundancy and idleness known as Southern Sudan after it was also barred by Khartoumers who had earlier on seen its negative contributions toward development. South was also its rightful place because it is a lawless and regional dumping zone of all sorts of junks discarded from all four cardinal points of the world. Prove me wrong if you can not see pictorial facts of young people smoking Shisha and drinking at 8.00Am in all our war-torn cities of the 21st Century which some people can either call our wrongful or rightful place of all kinds of illicit drugs. 

Somebody might wonder what a fake and vague idea the presenter is trying to bore him or her. Shisha is a hetero-practice of the jobless regardless of their age, sex; color even skinned bleached people religion, and region although few regions are found to be on the forefront in terms of Shisha smoking. Analytically, Southern State Capitals bordering Northern Sudan emerged the worst meanwhile our Juba is also tallying behind them. 

Mathematical figures indicate that Bentiu Unity State where the majority is supposed to be many busy leads an average of eight out of ten to be idle and smoke, while five of ten do in Aweil, Northern Upper Nile is six of ten which smoke due to redundancy. And the prime reasons that accompanied the practice are; their proximity to the North, as well as the frequent influx of Internal Displaced Persons (IDPs) from Northern Sudan the second birth place of Shisha meanwhile other illicit drugs used, are also found dominantly along the Southern Sudan and East Africa.
