The word “Atar” in Sudanese dialect is derived from the classical Arabic word “Athar” (meaning “trace”). In a common phrase, we say “Qassas Al-Atar,” referring to a specialist in tracking the traces of lost people in the desert. This carries significant implications in the field of journalism, which requires investigation and inquiry. This is the meaning behind the magazine’s name.
