OK, normally I won’t write about what’s going on in the news, even though it fascinates me to no end. However, this is important and hardly anyone is talking about it.
The new Vice President of Sudan, John Garang, died in a helicopter crash yesterday. Why is this important you ask? Because this is the guy who signed a peace deal that ended 21 years of civil war—he is a hero to his country and his death is detrimental to the political atmosphere of Sudan.
More information…. the BBC has the best coverage and the Boston Globe has barely any, but the Washington Post is pretty good.
