The Deal

Abandoned by his own country, a victim of an antiquated law faces a hopeless futureâ€"even denied self respect.

Every Egyptian child adopts at birth, its father's nationality, so many find themselves a foreigner in his land of birth. Another law denies foreigners in Egypt, the right to work. With neighbouring Sudan in an ongoing civil war, this young man risks assassination if even visiting his father's country, let alone wanting to reside and work.

What can he do when even visa's are denied Sudan's citizens to any western country, simply fearing being 'smothered' by countless Sudanese wanting to flee the mayhem? In this case, a visiting westerner takes up the challenge of finding a way around this poor fellow's political dilemma.
