SGN staff update you on important developments from Sudan and around the world as the #SudanRevolts protests go viral.
If the second question has yet to be answered for you, I’d suggest reading the beautiful and moving words and images of “Why Darfur… Again?” However, for me, the first reason I emailed SGN asking if they had any need for a writer/editor was because it seemed like the best way for my writing to […]
After sitting here for a while in my comfortable living room, fingers hovering over my keyboard, I tried eagerly to come up with some compelling testimony of why I’m a Darfur/Sudan activist.
