Podcast: Dual Identities (Dafur Radio Project)

In "Dual Identities," the Darfur Radio Project explores the divides between Khartoum and Darfur, Sudan and Kenya, and expatriates and their homeland. First, a look at how economic growth in Khartoum compares to development in Darfur. Then, in the second installment of our series on Sudanese culture, we speak to two Sudanese musicians who find they're connected in unexpected ways.
And, who's who? This month, an introduction to the Sudanese Liberation Army, one of the key rebel groups in Darfur. Finally, we look at how the Sudanese expatriate community in the US is preparing for the 2009 Sudanese elections.

The Darfur Radio Project is a monthly radio broadcast that explores the historical, political, economic, and social contexts of the conflict in Darfur. Using personal stories as well as critical analysis, we aim both to introduce listeners to the complexities of the situation in Sudan and to give them the tools to effect change. We believe that education, good information, and analysis will play an important role in the search for sustainable, long-term peace in Sudan.
