Channel 4 Unreported World goes to the southern Sudan

Channel 4's Unreported World film South Sudan – how to fuel a famine was shown on Friday 6 November 2009 at 7:35 in the evening.  You can read the reporter's log by Ramita Navia.

It is Darfur in the west of Sudan that has been more in the news, with refugees and conflict spilling over into neighbouring Chad. 

I once visited Sudan but barely visited the south of the country, only passing through the airport at Juba in transit.  That was more than 20 years ago and the south of Sudan was a place of conflict then.  There is an ongoing tension between the north of Sudan and the south.
