I am always tuned into the news, but the history and story of the southern Sudan has been particularly interesting to me over the course of the last few years. My close friend has been living there for the better part of two years, and my very favorite book, "What is the What?" details the biographical journey of Valentino Achak, who as a "lost boy" escaped the civil war.
The columnist Nick Kristof from the New York times has been writing from the Sudan over the past few weeks. The south Sudan hosted a crucial election last week, The President of the country has been indicted for war crimes, and Valentino Achak has opened an innovative school. Check it out and let's talk.
