Sudanwedding_small

This month on the Darfur Radio Project, "The Ties That Bind." We learn about how Sudanese are staying connected to each other, through the tough times and the celebrations.

First, we explore how a small radio studio in the Netherlands is connecting Darfuris to each other--and to the rest of the world. 

Next, we check in with Sudanese at home and in the US to hear their opinions on the ICC decision to issue an arrest warrant for President Bashir. 

Then, we explore the role of political Islam in Sudan, past and present. 

Finally, we hear the story of one Sudanese family who recently took a trip to Darfur to attend an old friend's wedding.
