10/04/19: Guardian – Sudanese woman talks about protest photo that went viral, by Zeinab Mohammed Salih

 The Guardian reports comments from 22-year old architecture student Alaa Salah, “the young woman in a photo that has come to symbolise the protest movement in Sudan.”

 Salah told the Guardian she was happy the image had been viewed so widely, and she is quoted to say “since the beginning of the uprising I have been…participating in the demonstrations because my parents raised me to love our home.”

 Salah said she does not come from a political background, and took to the streets to fight for a better Sudan, adding that: “our country is above any political parties and any sectarian divisions.”
