Hi everyone,
This is from a Sudanese text. Does it mean that he wanted to make the other person feel bad?
The person speaking is telling him where a missing man has been, and that he has been found.
بدأ الكلام خالفا رجل على أخر قاصدا أن تقع نظراتي على أسفل نعاله: لقد تم القبض على حسين بعد الأحداث مباشرة، وقد
تعرّض للنقل بين عدد من السجون
Thanks!

To smear my sight by the dirt of his soles
This attitude is meant to humiliate the other party. The face is considered an honored part of a body, contrary to the sole part of a foot. So, this act is meant to indicate that the soles of the speaker are superior to the listener's face. Also, notice the snobby pose of the speaker, crossing legs.
