The countries of Sudan and South Sudan are presently at a crossroads. Despite secession, South Sudan and Sudan still have not achieved a peaceful coexistence. Violent clashes over natural resources, ethnic tension, and human displacement plague both countries and the surrounding nations. There is still work that needs to be done to stop the violence. Voices for Sudan (VFS) hopes to advocate for this necessary change. VFS empowers those most influential and most affected by the conflict, the Sudanese Diaspora. Most times, Sudanese voices are often absent or limited during press and advocacy outreach. Voices for Sudan provides decision makers and interested parties with valuable insights into the viewpoints and experience of Sudanese from various regions across the Sudans. VFS creates a forum for the diverse Diaspora to come together, allowing for a more holistic and nuanced policy approach to solving the issues that plague the Sudans. VFS bridges the conversation, by bringing stakeholders together and coming up with innovative solutions to a very complicated and ethnically tense history. This forum for the Sudanese and South Sudanese Diaspora not only allows for an increased understanding, but also allows VFS to depict a more accurate picture of the conflicts and the solutions that need to be established to create peace. For two decades, Sudan has been in the headlines because of the horrendous violence, religious and ethnic manipulation, and human rights abuses that have resulted in hundreds of millions of deaths, refugees, internally displaced people, and ruined lives. Sudan borders Egypt and straddles Northern Africa and Sub-Saharan Africa, thus its problems have a direct impact on its African and Middle East neighbors. People of conscience -- especially in the U.S. to where tens of thousands of Sudanese have immigrated to escape war, poverty, and slavery -- can play a significant role in ending this litany of despair, establishing a democratic model, and preventing terrorism in Africa by helping Sudanese take control of their own destiny.
