Anyone who believes in civilian self-determination should pay attention to Sudan, writes Yassmin Abdel-Magied Not only because of the scale of the horror, but because the inaction of the international community tells despots around the globe that it is acceptable.
Sudan’s story is far from a tragedy
The country’s revolution was a successful and nonviolent democratic uprising. The west should remember that
