Anthony Haggar was already gravely ill when I arrived in Khartoum but he still gave me a warm welcome there. We worked closely together on the Board of the European Chamber of Commerce, where he served as a real asset.

في وداع الإنسان (انتوني حجار) فارق دنيانا اليوم انتوني حجار مخلفاً فراغاً عريضاً وجرحاً عميقاً يصعب أن يندمل .. كان انتوني رمزاً لكل ما هو حسن وجميل .. جمع من الصفات والخصال ما يصعب أن يجتمع في بشر .. جمع انتوني في جسده النحيل وعمره القصير حب بلاده وحب الناس .. جمع الذكاء
