#KeepEyesOnSudan yesterday in #Bern at the Stauffacher-bookshop with Navid Kermani, one of Germany's most influential intellectuals:

"Usually I have no problem to get media attention, but when I offered to the German TV channels to talk about my travels to the Nuba Mountains, they flatly refused."
View of the audience in the crowded "Stauffacher"-bookshop in Bern towards the panel with German top-intellectual Navid Kermani discussing his new book about his travels in Eastern Africa with moderator Tobias Hartmann.
