We are seeing a serious situation in Sudan where violence has erupted between two factions of the military. Hundreds of civilians have been killed and there is significant concern about this leading to a humanitarian catastrophe. To learn more about what is happening, we caught up with Dr. Kelly Duke-Bryant, an Associate Professor of History at Rowan University in Glassboro, NJ, who teaches a variety of courses on Africa. We asked her about the roots of this situation, learned why it isn’t a civil war, and also discussed why this conflict seems to be getting significantly more news coverage compared to other conflicts we have seen recently in Africa.
