Christmas is a time of giving and sharing.

Will you help those in need this Christmas?

DOHA Rebuild Southern Sudan Project.

Donate today and help communities in Southern Sudan rebuild from the devastating 21 1/2 year civil war.

We have just returned from traveling to Southern Sudan two days ago. Whilst we were there we took some more footage around Juba for our documentary and were privileged to fly to Agok town (near Abyei) to film also.

Abyei is close to the border between the North and South of Sudan and is currently disputed territory due to the oil discovered in this area. The people have been terrorised by the Northern Army in recent times and we were informed by local chiefs that in 2008 there was a series of killings, including women and children.

Dear Members,

Please note change of date for DOHA AGM – it will now be held on Sunday 16th May 2010. Venue: Kingston City Church. Time: 12:30-1:30pm.

Voters in Sudan have cast their ballots on the opening day of its first multi-party elections in 24 years.

Presidential, parliamentary and state assembly polls are being held over three days under the deal that ended the war between north and south Sudan.

But several key parties and politicians opposed to President Omar al-Bashir are boycotting the vote amid fraud fears.

BBC Africa editor Martin Plaut says that a picture of confusion and disarray is beginning to emerge.
