Derrida in Khartoum – Is the Disintegration of the Sudan Imminent?

My latest contribution to Konkret (7/09) deals with the intensification of the many conflicts in Africa’s biggest country. Some analysts even go so far as to predict a Somalia scenario any time soon. The warrant of arrest of the ICC for President Omar al-Bashir was supposed to raise the pressure on the Islamists, but some observers doubt that this strategy in fact succeeded. Read some excerpts of that article here.

As an alumna, I am so proud of these students for working so hard to raise awareness about such an important issue. I can't wait to see your work.

"THE" SUDAN
This is an excellent website. Well organized and structured. It's nice to see people caring about others that aren't as lucky as they are. Seeing that i'm half canadian and half sudanese, and the fact that i'm currently residing in Khartoum, i would like to say that to a certain extent this project seems devoted to one side instead of being objective. The first thing i see is the Sudan project and a refugee camp picture, to a cetain extent the typical image in quintessential northern american's mind when the word Sudan is mentioned. The first video is with an unfortunate Sudanese man who had fled the country to Uganda. This is all true, but what about the other side of the story, the other millions of Sudanese that are now residing happily in their country, why are they not being interviewed. Those who live in actual cities, yes there are cities in Sudan, with skyscrapers, amusement parks, and resturants. Those who are provided with education and shelter by the so called "tyrant" government. I appreciate your effort of trying to acknowledge and help in the darfur conflict, but incitement will only distrub the peace that the government and the rebels happing been trying to acheive. If you are really objective then try to introduce why the conflict is happening and try to include the story of both sides. It is true that there is a conflict in Sudan, but there hundereds of other that are even more horrific or equally so, in Afghanistan, Cote d'ivoire, somalia, Congo, Rwanda, Iraq, Palestine, Cuba, and many others. So next time i open this page i hope to see other projects on other countries that are need of more help then Sudan. I addition even Bashir was really the evil tyrant he is why did the people of Sudan vote for him? not that i agree with his views, but that something to bring into account.

As I remember, he was a I think "lost boy" of Sudan? I have been supporting the education in Sudan. I also found The Emma Academy Project while searching the internet for some ways that I can support education there. I have also found some way to donate books also, but I wanted something greater than that, so, I found a way to build a school in Leer, Sudan.

I'm starting to wonder what else we could do to help there in Sudan. I happen to know this site Emma Academy Project. They will be building a school there in Sudan. I know that contributing to them, we will be achieving a new school there. I still am looking for more though.

This video truly is very tragic. The everyday that we would be viewing this kinds of videos, the everyday that we would be experiencing such loss from our world. I really think that these people are really harrassed from the effects of war. I wanted to help change this image, so I visited Emma Academy Project who will be building a school there in Sudan. This school will be housing the children away from war. All these children will then be properly educated with the suffecient, and eventually more than suffecient to nurture their knowledge needs.
