In this episode, we speak with a Sudanese activist raised in London who's on the ground in Khartoum as that country grapples with myriad issues, including the absence of any government.
Listeners will hear about Khartoum's streets.... decades of dictatorship giving way to coups and power vacuums.... U.S. intentions.... turnover amongst U.S. envoys to the Horn of Africa.... $700 million in American assistance tangled up in Sudan's turmoil.... a "gigantic" U.S. embassy.... and the aspirations of a pro-democracy movement that's under threat.
------> OUR GUEST is Kholood Khair, a political analyst, activist, and head of a Sudanese think tank aimed at supporting a transition toward a civilian-led democracy in Sudan. She earned a Master's degree from the School of Oriental and African Studies at the University of London, and from Oxford University.
