DIASPORA
Many Sudanese people have fled their homeland to join the
growing number of Sudanese people living in other countries.
Through the hard work of humanitarian organisations, such as
the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, the
International Red Cross and the various host states of
Sudanese refugees including Australia, Canada and Germany,
the resettlement of Sudanese people in safe third countries
has been made possible. The needs of the Sudanese community
when they arrive and settle in these nations is the focus of
research presented on this page.
Interviews with singer Ajak Kwai (website 1 & website 2)
|
Ajak Kwai, a Sudanese refugee, now living in Melbourne, Australia, is a
Sudanese performer. Her songs tackle the issues and stories that have
come out of the Southern Sudanese civil war. Ajak explains that music
'is a way to deal with stress and sadness in Africa', but also wants
her Dinka songs 'to show Australian audiences good things about Africa.
It's not all hunger, disease, troubles.' |
