00:01:34 just to say that again before I read the pimp or straight of that here written by Hyatt I just wanted to add something
00:01:48 Hyatt I just wanted to add something that about what here on the personal level of my relationship with her as fat
00:02:00 level of my relationship with her as fat here is not just someone from the community but she's my older sister she is my godmother and she's a very very
00:02:16 is my godmother and she's a very very close friend to mind and that he and I [Music]
00:02:24 [Music] one of the greatest things about here we thought he was a pillar of the Sudanese community in London she was highly
00:02:35 community in London she was highly respected she was a source of wiseness and jolliness to the community people go
00:02:46 and jolliness to the community people go to her house all the time her house was always full of people she was really welcoming people go to her for advice and one thing that Minot might not come
00:03:03 and one thing that Minot might not come across in any thing that been written about food here in the media or anything that that he was one of the people who
00:03:17 that that he was one of the people who said a supplementary school for children in conditioning Chelsea called as a supplementary school she was one one of the first teachers to help
00:03:28 one one of the first teachers to help children connect with their culture she was one of the fierce defenders of children knowing about the culture the
00:03:41 children knowing about the culture the English culture the British culture they are in she defended supporting the National Curriculum course subject to be taught in the school and she worked in
00:03:52 taught in the school and she worked in that school since early 90s until 2004 that school was has been running until
00:04:05 that school was has been running until now and that school got the price of the best supplementary School in Kensington and Chelsea and the price was given by the mayor of Cadiz named Chelsea so that here was one of the people who run that
00:04:18 here was one of the people who run that school supported the children and supported the whole thinking of maintaining and preserving the Sudanese
00:04:29 maintaining and preserving the Sudanese culture and the British culture together so I just wanted to say that now I'm gonna read what Hyatt wrote about her
00:04:41 gonna read what Hyatt wrote about her sister I wish to say a few words about my sister fit here who lived in flat 206 at Granville Tower on the 3rd 23rd floor
00:04:54 at Granville Tower on the 3rd 23rd floor and died in that fire fatiah was born in 1940 in Sudan in our hometown of an Hood
00:05:06 1940 in Sudan in our hometown of an Hood she was 10 years older than me and she was like a mother to me I feel that she had adopted me as her child our mother
00:05:19 had adopted me as her child our mother did not work and we did not live with our father who lived with his other second wife we came from a large family and here was my closest sibling
00:05:32 and here was my closest sibling age when I was born our older brother and sister had moved away from the family home so it was just me and my mother
00:05:42 mother and fed here who lived together when I was very young we left under hood and went to live with our brother in Khartoum we added another paragraph and
00:05:57 Khartoum we added another paragraph and I think that's important that when Hyatt was 13 years old she was a victim of a fire and because of that had is
00:06:13 fire and because of that had is partially disabled and that here was the main support for her as a victim of fire another disabled person but he became
00:06:25 another disabled person but he became literally adopted Hyatt and became her mother and supported her in her education until her a 20 university that
00:06:37 education until her a 20 university that he was supporting her constantly knowing the culture if a woman had any kind of disability disability back in Sudan she
00:06:50 disability disability back in Sudan she might be ostracized from the community she might be treated in a different way and fatiah was the person who was
00:07:01 and fatiah was the person who was supported hi had accepted her disability and encouraged her until she finished University when I was at Primary School
00:07:13 University when I was at Primary School but here was a primary school teacher she would look after me at home and at school she would support me emotionally and financially when I attended middle
00:07:26 and financially when I attended middle school and secondary school I did not live with fat here because I was in a boarding school I would come home in the holidays and spend all my time with her
00:07:40 holidays and spend all my time with her but here it would take me everywhere she went
00:07:44 went to see her friends and anywhere she was visiting but he was all with the one who looked after me and who encouraged me with my education my best memories of
00:07:58 with my education my best memories of had here from my childhood are of the time we spend by the Red Sea we would travel there together and stay with our
00:08:09 travel there together and stay with our uncle who had the boats I remember then teasing me because I was scared of water of the water our uncle would say that
00:08:21 of the water our uncle would say that the water was not deep and would jokingly then take me to the side of the boat where the water was deepest I remember us all laughing about this we
00:08:34 remember us all laughing about this we had a fantastic time together by the Red Sea but here the pillar of strengths in my family she had worked hard to become
00:08:47 my family she had worked hard to become a teacher she was very kind and she was generous when our uncle died when our uncle died but he helped to support his children she was really loved by people
00:09:00 children she was really loved by people in our community and she had a beautiful soul but he was also a fantastic cook she was well-known for her traditional
00:09:11 she was well-known for her traditional Sudanese cooking she was welcoming and people would flock to her home people missed her when she moved to to live in London and when she
00:09:22 moved to to live in London and when she come back to Sudan to visit people would be excited to see her again
00:09:39 but here was a wonderful capilla was wonderful at sewing she was very creative and sewing was another source
00:09:51 creative and sewing was another source of income for her but he would make bridal dresses and she could print and stitch material to make beautiful saris
00:10:02 stitch material to make beautiful saris but he would also create things from leather she would decorate plain shoes and handbags with the leather items she
00:10:15 and handbags with the leather items she had made but he had learned to see from the it - so from the Italian nuns sorry
00:10:36 so but he had learned to solve from the Italian nuns who lived in all over Sudan she could also make jewelry using stones and beads she was well known for her art
00:10:48 and beads she was well known for her art history one fact when fat he married I stayed living with our brother I would still see that here nearly every day although we did not live together
00:11:00 although we did not live together anymore but he has husband was in the military he died sudden suddenly in 1984 in a suspicious circumstances although
00:11:11 in a suspicious circumstances although he was in the military he had to pause the war in South Sudan life was hard for fat here after her husband death but he and her children had had to leave their
00:11:23 and her children had had to leave their home on the military base and then had to rent somewhere to live sometimes after her husband death but he had a farm some distance from Khartoum where
00:11:36 farm some distance from Khartoum where we lived but he kept chickens on the farm and solved the eggs and she grew she grew feed for cattle she did this to
00:11:47 she grew feed for cattle she did this to support her family because she was paid very little as a teacher at one point the government took the farm away from that here but she fought to get it back
00:11:59 that here but she fought to get it back and the farm was returned to her at this time I was working in the Ministry of statistic and I helped to support with her and her family financially due to
00:12:12 her and her family financially due to the struggle in Sudan and the civil wars taking place but he left to live in England this was in the 1990s earlier
00:12:23 England this was in the 1990s earlier and it was not difficult to get a visa her two eldest children had left to study in Eastern Europe but when struggle broke out in the in there but he afford to get her children out out
00:12:37 he afford to get her children out out and they were able to move to Holland but he has daughter later moved to England when frontier first moved to
00:12:49 England when frontier first moved to England she lived somewhere in South London after a while she moved to Kensington and Chelsea and that he suffered hard difficulties and spend a month in hospital when she came out she
00:13:03 month in hospital when she came out she was offered housing by Kensington and Chelsea and eventually moved into Granville Tower I wasn't able to travel to visit but here when she moved to
00:13:14 to visit but here when she moved to England and I missed her very much we first met again in 1998 in Syria I was enjoying I was overjoyed to see her but
00:13:28 enjoying I was overjoyed to see her but he had arrived first and had paid for two hotels room however when we saw each other we could not be separated we stayed in one room with Sophia's
00:13:40 stayed in one room with Sophia's daughter and our eldest sister I remember the hotel manager asking why we were in one room but we didn't care we
00:13:51 were in one room but we didn't care we just wanted to be together and we had a beautiful a wonderful time but he obtained the British passport in around 2000 and then it was easier for her to
00:14:03 2000 and then it was easier for her to return to Sudan she would come once or twice a year for several months over time she had managed to build a little house for me to live in and that he
00:14:16 house for me to live in and that he would stay there with me when she come to visit but he was trying to build this house I had been living with our brother
00:14:29 house I had been living with our brother and his family and I think that he knew that I needed my own space as I said earlier Hayat needed her own space because of her disability and that he
00:14:41 because of her disability and that he was highly aware about that and this why she worked really hard to build that little house so Hyatt can get independence I think she always felt responsible for me and
00:14:53 she always felt responsible for me and she wanted me to be comfortable the fire the final time that what he came to visit Sudan was from November 2016 to March 2017 this was a wonderful time I
00:15:09 now wonder if at he and you that something was going to happen to her and that we had to make this time special we troubled all over the country together
00:15:21 troubled all over the country together and the only time we were apart was when fat here visited the Red Sea without me
00:15:41 but he came to this country as a refugee seeking security and safety after her struggle with the regime in Sudan where
00:15:57 struggle with the regime in Sudan where she and her children had been subject to harass harassment she felt safe here in London because of the way she died this
00:16:10 London because of the way she died this now feels like an illusion for us and definitely for her if our trust in this
00:16:23 definitely for her if our trust in this country has been destroyed I can't begin to describe my life without my sister
00:16:40 had this was a terrible terrible shock for me and I find it very difficult to cope without her my life has been has
00:16:53 cope without her my life has been has now been damaged by this twice twice as we say it's a double trauma for hired because she was a victim of fire herself
00:17:07 because she was a victim of fire herself and now she lost her sister because of fire so sorry for that I feel lonely and I cannot sleep that's hard statement in
00:17:27 I cannot sleep that's hard statement in English thank you for listening [Applause]
