The children of Sudan's revolution are looking to the future

Available for over a year

Omar al Bashir ruled Sudan for thirty years, surviving civil wars, the secession of South Sudan, and even an indictment by the International Criminal Court. He was brought down in April by peaceful protests provoked by anger about the state of the economy and decades of repression. There is a civilian government now, though the military retains significant influence. The revolution has changed the future direction of Sudan, and those who may reap the benefits are the youngest in the society, the children. Newsday's James Copnall has been talking to12 and 13 yr old girls at the Khartoum International Preparatory School to find out their vision for the future.
