With so many areas of Africa in the news, it almost seems overwhelming to try to get a grasp of what is happening, where, and why. Where does one begin, in trying to get an understanding of the many cultures, economies, histories, of the 54 countries on the continent?

Through this series of speakers and films, we hope to provide an opportunity for our community to, bit by bit, gain understanding of the complexities of Africa. This series of programs focuses on Sudan and Rwanda.

Reading Lists:

Sudan
