Why Fiction Matters: Abyei, Sudan

I'm completing final edits on my novel the rest of this week, so today I want to direct your attention to a new storm brewing in the Sudan. It's not a new storm, but with the Presidential elections taking up most of media space, we haven't seen much of what's going on with the rest of the world.Abyei, Sudan is one place to start. This story is from The New York Times, Nicholas Kristof reports. There is also an interesting article on his blog, Did the Clinton Campaign Darken Obama’s Complexion? And don't forget to participate in Vonda Skelton's Spa Basket Giveway Sweepstakes her and throughout the blogosphere.
