This website is devoted to the issues, journeys, images and stories of the Sudanese Diaspora. Whilst the civil
war in Sudan’s South and West has forced many of the country’s inhabitants to flee across the world, there is
still limited global awareness of the Sudanese situation.
SORA strives to provide an internationally accessible centre for Sudan-related research and to raise
awareness in academic and wider circles of the hopes, struggles and realities of the Sudanese people
living outside Sudan.
SORA is the sole sponsor of the Sudan Resource Centre of Australia.
SORA invites you to be part of a revolution in global awareness.
