Sudan: The Passion of the Present

Still Another Update on "RSS Feeds of News from Africa"--Plus Additional Odds 'n' Ends

I've all but decided what I'm going to use to replace the former batch of RSS feeds of news from Africa--and the current batches of Sudan-, DR Congo-, Somalia-, and Zimbabwe-related feeds.  However, I won't be able to make the switchover until next weekend, at the absolute earliest.

Separately, since the last update, I've come across feeds for Genocide No More, the New York City Coalition for Darfur, "Burning Billboard" (thanks to Enough), the Next Century Foundation's Sudan blog (thanks to Michelle), the Nile Hope Development Forum, Light Gives Heat's separate field and office blogs, Drop in the Bucket, the Center for Human Rights and Democracy in Africa, Interpeace, europafrica, the bilingual (Arabic/English) site for Egypt's "AlMasry AlYoum" (which may have been revamped/relaunched recently), "This Is Africa" (affiliated with the "Economist"), Niger Delta Solidarity, "Malawi Politics", Zimbabwe's Community Working Group on Health, the Zimbabwe Women's Resource Centre and Network's blog, the Zimbabwe AIDS Network, the "Zimbabwe Guardian" (not related to the similarly named site that's also known as "TalkZimbabwe"), SAfAIDS, and ImmersionSA's blog.  (Updated [originally], on Saturday, to also note feeds for CGIAR's regional blog for eastern and southern Africa, the Development Policy Management Forum, Leader.co.za, and South Africa's "Skills Portal"; updated [still further], [also] on Sunday, to note feeds for the Oakland Institute's "Voices from Africa" blog and the Namibia Agricultural Union.)

In addition, you may want to visit the site of the just-launched Sudan Now campaign.  (Updated [further], on Sunday, to also note the "I Am Lubna" online campaign [thanks to Ms. Hamilton].) - EJM

Yet Another Update on "RSS Feeds of News from Africa"--Plus Additional Odds 'n' Ends

While I've been able to play around a bit with a few different widgets, I still haven't come across anything that's very similar to the SpringWidgets reader that I have been using; therefore, when I end up revamping the various pages of widget-based RSS feeds, I likely will have to make some significant changes to the feeds that are included.  That said, I haven't had enough time to proceed with any final selections, so the page of RSS feeds of news from Africa is still only a placeholder--and the pages of Sudan-, DR Congo-, Somalia-, and Zimbabwe-related feeds are unchanged.  (I didn't mention it earlier, but it's the feeds from Yahoo! News that are definitely in need of repair; all of its regional sites apparently still do offer appropriate search-based feeds, but it looks like the URLs were recently changed.)

Separately, since the last update, I've come across feeds for Michael Kevane's Sudan-related blog, Kelsey Hoppe's Sudan-related blog, the Sudan-related blog "Roving Bandit", the "South Sudan Business Blog", STAND Canada's blog, the personal blog of DPA's Michael Logan, "Afronline", "Venture Capital and Private Equity in Africa", the Human Rights House Network, Kenya's International Center for Policy and Conflict, the bilingual (French/English) site for Fidafrique, SAFER's DR Congo-related blog (thanks to Global Voices), Dr. Terese Hart's DR Congo-related blog, Vanessa Woods' DR Congo-related blog, the bilingual (Arabic/English) site for Egypt's National Council for Human Rights, the trilingual (French/Arabic/English) site for the Democratic Association of Moroccan Women, "Nigerian Best Forum", Nigeria's League for Human Rights, the Zambia National Farmers Union, the "Zimbabwe Internet Radio Station", South Africa's "Eyewitness News", South Africa's "Richmark Sentinel", the Southern Africa Litigation Centre's blog, and the AIDS and Rights Alliance for Southern Africa.  In addition, International Rivers does have individual feeds for its various region/topic-specific blogs.  (Updated originally to also note the feed for the "Nata Village Blog"; updated further to also note the feed for Botswana's Mothers for All.) - EJM
