The "uneasy peace" gets all the press.

NPR ran a long story this morning about some North-South fighting in Malakal, a border town. The fighting was in February, which be an illustration of how slow the news moves coming out of Sudan.

When Joseph presents, we often get this question--will the peace hold? A good, legitimate question. I just wish the press would also cover the work of all the NGOs and southern Sudanese trying to build peace, trying to build an infrastructure that would stabilize the country enough so that its people wouldn't feel like going to war is their only or best option.
