Name: Abd al-Aziz Baraka Sakin
Position: Novelist
According to Magdi El Gizouli in piece for Sudan Tribune on 8 October 2012:

Both works have been banned by the responsible authorities despite the fact that the novel earned its author the 2010 ‘Tayeb Salih Prize’ offered by the independent Abd al-Karim Mirghani Cultural Centre but circulate in a digitalised samizdat format.
