Washington Post Staff Writer.

Many Darfurians Remain in Conflict, but Sudanese Who Settle In Area Find Themselves at Odds on Religion, Politics, Locale

Although the five-year conflict in Sudan's vast, parched Darfur region has spawned dozens of U.S.-based support groups, and the killings by militias have been labeled genocide by U.S. officials, very few of Darfur's victims have actually reached the United States.

JUBA.
In a television studio the size of two trailer trucks, the Government of Southern Sudan's Information Minister Changson Chang talks like a man sensing a crisis on his hands.
In his midst, scores of journalists, apparently bleeding, have converged.
"I see every one with this," Changson, right palm over his lips, says to officials seated next to him in the studio, long before the television cameras are switched on.
"They are trying to close their mouths," says Victor Bullen...]]></description>

JUBA – The 2004 Noble Peace Prize winner Wangari Maathai attended Martyr''''s Day in Juba at the late Dr. John Garang’s Mausoleum.
“It’s not how many years we spend on this planet but rather the commitment and devotion that we give to our fellow human beings when we are here,” Wangari said “Jesus himself who many of us follow as Lord, was only in this planet for 33 year and 2000 years later we are still being inspired by his actions,” she added.
