Back to Darfur

Hi everyone

I’m heading back to Darfur (which means this blog will once again become inaccessible to me). But this time, I’m not going solo. I will be accompanying U.S. Special Envoy, Scott Gration. The schedule for the trip is up on the U.S. State Department blog.

Darfur policy under the Obama Administration (whenever it may be announced) is central to the final chapter of my book – that is why I want to see the Special Envoy “in action” on the ground. I have never traveled in a government delegation before and will be fascinated to see how it compares.

Thanks for your continuing readership – and apologies for the inconsistency of blogging (feel free to register your complaints with Sudan Freedom of the Press, Complaints Department)
