Superb analysis on the background and regional motivations behind the horrors of Darfur and on "Sudan’s deadly divide: The RSF and SAF’s reign of terror" www.brookings.edu/articles/sud...

Thrilled to join the Board of this cutting-edge human rights organization.
Probably never in its 6 decade history has its work been so important, in face of the most vicious and concerted assault on human rights, truth and dignity we've ever been up against.
