News from the Nuba Mountains

Sudan is only about 200 kilometers from Gonder. Whenever I pass by the sign to Sudan, I always wonder about life on the other side of the border. Recently, one of my favorite journalists and humanitarian superstar Nicholas Kristof was in the Sudan reporting about the atrocities occuring in the Nuba Mountains.


Check out his articles:


The New York Times also featured a Room for Debate discussion, How to Prevent Another Darfur.  It is really interesting to read the seven points of view.  A couple of the pieces mention Ethiopia's potential importance in resolving matters between Sudan and South Sudan. In January Ethiopia hosted the two countries' failed negotiations to end their oil dispute.
