A Sudan Update

Good Monday morning to you!

One of the main issues with raising awareness of what's happening in countries like Sudan and the DRC and Somalia, is that the "news cycle" is so fickle.  Once the perception that something is "old news" has taken hold, we're not likely to hear about it again, and if we want to we have to do some serious digging to find the most current information.

In July last year, we, like everyone else, were laser-focused on Sudan; with the split between North and South, there was a lot to talk about.  But now?  We don't really see much about the on-going crisis, I guess because it's on-going.  Low-grade suffering doesn't seem as news worthy as acute suffering.    

But the troubles for the Sudanese people, from north and south, Blue Nile State, South Kordofan, Darfur, and Abyei continue.

If the situation this article addresses isn't resolved, we may again see Sudan on the front pages.  And the Sudan Tribune has this exclusive article.

And then, there's this crisis looming.

Regardless of what we can and can't read in the papers, there continues to be work to be done to make people aware of what's happening and keep the pressure on.
