Media for social change

A place I went to visit in Nairobi, Kenya on my way to Southern Sudan is the Sudan Mirror. The paper’s publisher and founder, Dan Eiffe invited me into his office and told me stories of when he was a young Irish priest in South Africa and later in Southern Sudan. He told me that in June 1998 he stood in the US Congress and said to the congressmen and women during his testimony, “Southern Sudan is apartheid at its worst. Apartheid is a tea party in comparison to what happens in Southern Sudan.”
