Making Sense of Darfur

Sub-Saharan Africa

by  |  on March 9th, 2009  |  0 comments

If you are following affairs in Darfur, you would be wise to bookmark the Social Science Research Council’s “Making Sense of Darfur” Blog. Including contributions from Alex de Waal, Julie Flint, and several other important observers of events in Darfur and across Sudan, “Making Sense of Darfur” is really a must-consult reseource. De Waal is far less supportive of interventionism than am I, but he is probably the foremost authority on the crisis so his words carry considerable import.

The SSRC also hosts the African Arguments Blog, also overseen by De Waal. I have added both to the Africa Blog blogroll.
