Radio Curious visits with genocide scholar Sam Totten for an update on the ongoing war and genocide in the African countries of Sudan and South Sudan.
Barry Vogel, Attorney and Counselor, is the Host and Producer of Radio Curious. Christina Aanestad is the Assistant Producers.
Once again we focus on the continuing genocide in the northeast African countries of Sudan and South Sudan. When the nation of South Sudan gained its independence from Sudan on July 9, 2011, the hopes for peace and safety of its citizens were high. That reality however has not come to be. The people of this area, especially those from the Nuba Mountains, continue to flee for their lives amidst an ongoing deadly famine.
Professor Emeritus, Samuel Totten, Ph.D., a genocide scholar, now retired from the University of Arkansas, is our guest for the fifth time on Radio Curious. Professor Totten, who has visited Sudan and South Sudan multiple times in the past decade, hopes to visit there again the end of July, 2018. In this program, he describes recent conditions in this remote part of Africa; the heroic efforts of others who have devoted their lives to the betterment of the people of South Sudanâtold in the book he edited in 2017, âSudan's Nuba Mountains People: Accounts by Humanitarians in the Battle Zoneââand the plans for his pending trip there. He also explains what motivates him to risk his life by doing this work. When Dr. Sam Totten and I visited by phone from his home in Fayetteville, Arkansas, on July 9, 2018, we began when I asked him to describe the location of Sudan and South Sudan on the African continent.
The book Sam Totten recommends is âThe Angler: The Cheney Vice Presidency,â by Barton Gellman.
