About
I am a freelance journalist based in Khartoum, Sudan. I write for The Telegraph, The Economist, The Independent, The Mail on Sunday - among others. Besides writing about foreign affairs and politics, I also dabbles in economics and travel writing from time to time. This blog is supposed to be a synopsis of my thoughts on journalism and travel, reflecting countless words that never made it into print elsewhere.

Black, how does the Khartoum government explain to its own people how they allowed JEM forces to drive across the country to attack in Omdurman? Whose blog mentioned that they knew 2 days in advance that they were coming? Doesn’t it make them seem extremely weak in the eyes of its own citizens?

Sorry for the type, Blake.
