ASAH coming to Wahpeton

The Wahpeton Daily News did a nice job covering Joseph's visit this Wednesday, April 22. The reporter did a great job of talking to our host, Sybil Priebe, about why ASAh is relevant to Wahpeton and their college, North Dakota State College of Science.

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.

Newspaper coverage of recent speaking events

The Clinton Herald ran a nice story before we spoke in that eastern Iowa city.

The University of Iowa's Daily Iowan ran a story and included some video of Joseph explaining John Garang's Iowa-Sudan connection.
