SNS in South Sudan
From 1st - 12th June, SNS Editor Danielle Batist was in South Sudan to report on the situation ahead of the country split; after years of bloody civil war, the south gains independence from the north on the 9th July. The trip (part of INSP's EU-funded project in partnership with IPS) was organised in collaboration with Scottish charity
SCIAF, who work with local charities in the warn-torn country to help some of its poorest people.
Danielle said the experiences in Sudan left a "deep impression" on her. "With so many of the country's citizens living in extreme poverty, the challenges for the new nation are huge. It was hard to see so many innocent people- including many women and children- suffer, but it is important that these stories are being told." Read more. [Photo: Simon Murphy]
