You and me have to find Graziani Ferri

Today, it's about faceplanting, broken arms, and a big salary in Italy for a Sudanese. And the photos is from my French/Egyptian/Sudanese mates who belive you should find Graziani... You remember Ahmed Ibrahim from Wadi Halfa? (North of Sudan) Talked about him before. A fisherman with control of history and culture in the country. Lives next to the railroad in Wadi Halfa, North Sudan. Now I have promised Ahmed that I should spread the search for "Graziani Ferri". Neither Ahmed nor I know how to write the name of the Italian with a motorcycle, but both believe that it would be super fun to find him. Must find him because the following happened many years ago:


Garziani is on a motorcycle trip through Africa and Grazianigoes down. Break arms and fingers. Stays in hospital to the money runs out. Then he stands on the street and is not completely healed. That means broke and damaged. Ahmed hears the story and says that the Italian can live with him. Graziani live there for two months. For Free. The Sudanese har hepful. I have told you that..

Graziani leaves for home in Italy and Ahmed do not know where home is. Then the letter comes to Ahmed.

It was as follows;

Dear Ahmed Ibrahim I Wadi Halfa, Sudan

It is Graziani who writes and I write because I am grateful. You gave me everything you had and made sure I was healthy to go back to my beloved Italy. My family is indebted to your great heart and my father has decided the following:

We pay the boat to Egypt, bus to Cairo and the flight to Italy. We hope you can work with my father who owns a gas station and the payment is good. You live with us for free. Hope you can send us a letter and tell us what you think about this. The address is ... ....

Bill Gates had not made the Internet in Wadi when this happened and Ahmed had only heard about cell phones and not hold in one. The salary in Italy would be like about 100 times what he had in Sudan. Bonus will be learning the new language and experience. Ahmed ran to the guys at the square and all are agreed. Ahmed have to go to Italy, and my friend running back. Looking for the letter and asks his mother, "where is the letter from Italy?"

The answer is, "oiiii  was it along with all the other paper?  I threw that on the fire .... "

In other words, you must find Graziani from Italy who broke his arms  the motorcycle and broke his arms and fingers in Sudan. Graziani who has a father who owns a gas station. Can not be many of them.

Ahmed from Wadi Halfa in Sudan on a trip to Italy. Can be a great story.
