Apr 2017. Darfur in Sudan and the Terror

April 2017. The torture of two journalists abducted en route to Jebel Marra, in Sudans Darfur region, is not only a grave affront to Press Freedom, but also proof the Sudanese authorities have something to hide in the region. Phil Cox, a British national, and Daoud Hari, a Darfuri translator and author, had been commissioned by the UKs Channel4 TV to investigate reports by Amnesty International that Sudanese security forces had used Chemical Weapons against civilians in Jebel Marra between January and August 2016. For nearly two months, the two journalists were locked up in a prison and Tortured, simply for doing their job. They were beaten, subjected to Electric Shocks, deliberately deprived of Oxygen and subjected to mock Executions. The lengths to which the Sudanese government went to keep the two journalists out of Jebel Marra, including acts of Torture, only suggests one thing: that it has something to Hide. If no chemical weapons were used, then why not let the journalists get on with their job This
