Gallabat
Gallabat is a village in the Sudanese state of Al Qadarif. It lies at one of the country's border crossing points with Ethiopia; on the other side of the border is Ethiopia's corresponding border village Metemma.
History
The town and district form a small ethnographical island in Al Qadarif, having been founded in the 18th century by a colony of Takruri from Darfur, who, finding the spot a convenient resting-place for their fellow-pilgrims on their way to Mecca and back, obtained permission from the Emperor of Ethiopia to make a permanent settlement there. Lying on the main trade route from Sennar to Gondar (some 90 miles to the east) as well as being the center of the frontier province of Ras al-Fil, Gallabat grew into a trade center of some importance. The Scottish explorer James Bruce (who calls the town Hor-Cacamoot) spent two months in the town in 1772, disabled with dysentery which was cured only by the herbs of a local medicine-man and the attentions of his companion Yasin.

You Are 'fighter'
by: GollbettyA scarred and bug-eyed Frankenstein
He looks down from the windmill in despair
The last flying scene of a mad junky
He holds his torn-off mask and laughs...
Why are you strong?
I ask with clear eyes
Why do you laugh?
He took my hand
And said, "Follow me..."
You!! Fighter
He knows
You!! Fighter
How strong he is
You can't hold back the fighting spirit that wells up
The overflowing bravery stimulates something
Clutching the "kindness" etched in here
Your ears are ringing...
Jekyll and Hyde afraid of the dark
His black and white angel holds his breath
A mad doctor, last telepathy
He hides his sewn up face and cries...
Why does it hurt?
I thought you don't know pain?
Why do you forgive him?
"I've become human..." he said tearfully
You!! Fighter
I know
You!! Fighter
How strong you are
The fighting spirit starts to run and doesn't stop
The overflowing justice stimulates him
Clutching the "kindness" etched in here
He cries "fight"!!
Why are you strong?
I ask with clear eyes
Why do you laugh?
He took my hand
And said, "Follow me..."
You!! Fighter
He knows
You!! Fighter
How strong he is
You!! Fighter
I know
You!! Fighter
How strong you are
You can't hold back the fighting spirit that wells up
The overflowing bravery stimulates something
Clutching the "kindness" etched in here
Your ears are ringing...
He cries "fight"!!
Fighter!! Always burning here...
