Sudan Decides
Sudan Decides is run by Tom Law an independent freelance journalist covering Sudan, South Sudan and East Africa. Tom is also an Associate Editor of Sudan Tribune, an online newspaper based in Paris.
Sudan Decides was initially set up to cover Sudan’s 2010 elections and South Sudan’s referendum on independence in January 2011.
Now Sudan Decides provides news/analysis about Sudan and South Sudan, as well as content from Sudan Tribune, and other sources on East Africa.
The blog will try to focus on the three areas of Abyei, South Kordofan and Blue Nile which had special status under the peace deal that led to South Sudan’s independence.
The people of Abyei are still waiting to decide whether they will remain part of Sudan or joining newly independent South Sudan.
In South Kordofan and Blue Nile popular consultations to decide on whether the 2005 peace accord dealt with their grievances have not been completed and conflict has broken out.
