News on Sudan

Here's a recommendation--check out the Sudan Tribune. I've not read the site exhaustively, but what I have seen is refreshingly complex and often doesn't distill news to 'good guys' and 'bad guys.' The site is based in France and thus at least avoids Sudanese governmental censorship. Anyway, check it out and let me know what you think.

 I have a number of friends who have lived  in Sudan over the years and I am often frustrated by the media's short attention span for African news in general and Sudan in particular (don't even get me started on its indifference to the DRC). While the BBC or Al Jazeera will periodically run a story, I've found that the Sudan Tribune has some articles and analyses that have been really helpful as I try to better understand a country with no shortage of complexity.
