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.

The Indictment of the President
The decision of the Prosecutor in charge of Darfur, Mr. Luis Moreno-Ocampo, to file 10-point accusations at the International Criminal Court (ICC) against President Omar al-Bashir of Sudan, to most watchers of the morbid drama in that region, is long overdue. But for it to achieve the desired objective of bringing justice and peace to that traumatised area, this new development must be handled with tact. Nothing short of that would bring succour to the long
-suffering people of Darfur and heal the sensibility of the human race that has been brutalised since 2003 when the conflict between the central government in Khartoum and the Darfur rebels began. At this point, nobody should be in doubt about the severity of the crisis and the factors that have fueled it so far.
