My book is all set for its launch next month, which is one of the reasons why my Middle East blog has been a little quiet. Over at South of West though I've updated things with a bit more on the book, some endorsements and a list of events to promote Saving Darfur.
This year is a crucial year for Sudan. Elections in April and a referendum on independece for the South at the start of 2011 could cement a shaky peace deal or plunge the country back into crisis.
Saving Darfur is my very personal attempt to chart how we came to this point.
I'm really looking forward to reading the book(just pre-ordered)! I'm a Sudanese American college student in the States, and Darfur has long been a close and dear crisis to my heart, and has been something i've advocated for better modes of "saving" for years for I do find it awfully pitiful how it is portrayed by the media, NGOs and used by celebs. I really do look forward to reading a refreshing new perspective!
