Seeking light in Sudan
Mark Sappenfield
Last week, a United Nations task force made an alarming statement: 鈥淣ever in modern history have so many people faced starvation and famine as in Sudan today.鈥�
It is happening largely in the dark. Foreign journalists face difficulties accessing the war-torn area. Local journalists are intimidated or killed.聽
This week, we鈥檙e publishing three stories about Sudan, starting today. We are also making a statement. The articles explore how people are surviving the war 鈥� where they draw hope and the sense of family and community they鈥檝e fought to retain. But they also ask the world to bring this crisis into the light.
