Enough Project in the News on Sudan
Posted by Enough Team on Jul 14, 2011
The independence of South Sudan has been a historical event not only
for the country but for all of Africa. It has attracted worldwide
media attention, and even some featuring our very own Enough Team,
including Co-founder John Prendergast and Co-captain of the Darfur
Dream Team Luol Deng, who have been on the ground in Juba. The
following is an overview of recent, select media coverage that mention
the Enough Project in Sudan:
* Two articles published on CNN July 7, “Fears of more Violence
Arise before South Sudan Independence,” and “Ambassador Rice Leads
U.S. Group to South Sudan Independence Ceremony,” which included the
following quote by John Prendergast:
"Less than a week after signing yet another agreement, the
Sudanese regime appears to be ignoring its commitment, holding to
form, and positioning military assets for intensified offensive
operations. This cycle will continue to be played out with
increasingly destructive results for Sudanese civilians until the
international community stiffens its spine and imposes swift and
severe repercussions for the endless cycle of violence the Khartoum
regime continues to fuel."
* An Associated Press article on July 8, “South Sudan becomes
World’s Newest Nation,” that was posted on Yahoo! News and picked up
by more than 80 daily newspapers across the nation including the
Denver Post and Boston Globe;
* A Yahoo! Sports Blog on July 9, which was also recently posted
on the Washington Post’s Sports Blog, features a video of Luol Deng
hosting a youth basketball clinic in South Sudan, as well as an
interview with Deng and Prendergast about South Sudan independence;
* An article by John Avlon, “Birth of a Nation,” published on
Newsweek’s The Daily Beast
* An analysis by Reuters, “Sudan's Smooth Separation Masks Messy
Divorce,” on July 10 that was picked up by multiple media outlets
including MSNBC online and Yahoo! News;
* And an article published on July 10 by Al Jazeera, “Sudan Split
was ‘over-simplified’ by Media.”
