It also highlights the inactivity and, frankly, near abolition of local media and news outlets. I don't think any Sudanese journalists are vigorously covering the conflict in the South. You're right in saying that it's our job to publicize Sudan's problems.Moez Alihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15141187933849252517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4828041730347723973.post-77073138835142806582011-06-18T05:23:08.520-07:002011-06-18T05:23:08.520-07:00By everyone, i hope you also mean sudan because so...By everyone, i hope you also mean sudan because south of Khartoum, wait even as far as Kosti...no one knows and those who do quickly brush away the information. So, don't blame only the media but we as Sudanese have failed to bring the attention of the world to out issues and this is because we do not campaign for it ourselves. <br /><br />Read the article link posted above.Dkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07153444461353577832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4828041730347723973.post-3452877595912654062011-06-18T04:32:26.401-07:002011-06-18T04:32:26.401-07:00Hey

I bet you no one knows that the Southern Sudanese voted 99% for secession. I doubt even the July 9th independence will be given the coverage it's due. Just makes you think, if this was Egypt it would've been a completely different story. So it seems if your not of geographical strategic importance you can die all you want, then you MIGHT make a headline or too. It's not only Al Jazeera, everyone neglects Sudan.Moez Alihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15141187933849252517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4828041730347723973.post-24447306880363474992011-06-17T19:19:05.803-07:002011-06-17T19:19:05.803-07:00I agree with you about Sudan being marginalized in...I agree with you about Sudan being marginalized in the media. The last thing that was covered well was the referendum in January. No one has mentioned Abyei, Darfur [as if people are not dying of famine or massacred],economical sanctions/crisis and lets not forget the affect of South Sudan's independence come july 7. The list goes on..so by all means rant, speak...tell our story. I feel there are many of us who are willing to speak more openly if given a chance. <br /><br />let me know how things work out with the stream.<br /><br />Cheerios.Dkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07153444461353577832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4828041730347723973.post-86940987046449268262011-06-17T15:52:03.787-07:002011-06-17T15:52:03.787-07:00Dka: This has nothing to do with the NCP, the SPLM...Dka: This has nothing to do with the NCP, the SPLM or any political entity in Sudan. There's a conflict - whether political, ethnic or tribal shouldn't matter - and people are dying. There's a severe lack of coverage, which I think quite frankly could be a very interesting debate on The Stream. Discussing consistent lack of coverage and its effects is something that's also being missed in news outlets these days. So, yes, I might give the BBC a shout.<br /><br />Ben - thank you for reading the post. I live in Kuwait. I think The Stream already has my details because I was recently invited to do a storify. If that's a way to get Sudan to be mentioned then I'm definitely willing to participate.Moez Alihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15141187933849252517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4828041730347723973.post-92035405412780177552011-06-17T12:43:52.287-07:002011-06-17T12:43:52.287-07:00Hi, I'm Ben, I work for The Stream.

A bunch of us are reading your blog right now. I sent the link around. We're sorry that your previous comments weren't included in the show. You are right that there are TONS of conversations to have about Sudan. My wife actually did a lot of work in Juba and Yei leading up to the referendum. Listen, do you have Skype?
