Far in the Waste Sudan
Far in the Waste Sudan – On Assignment in Africa
Nicholas Coghlan
Posted as the first Canadian Head of Office in Sudan, during a time when the Canadian based oil company Talisman was accused of aiding Sudan’s government fund the civil war with the South, Nicholas Coghlan’s book recounts his 3 years of experience and insights into one of the most inaccessible and least understood countries in Africa. As Coghlan says “In diplomatic circles, you cry when you hear you’ve been posted to Sudan, but you cry even more when you leave”. Far in the Waste Sudan gives a unique perspective into Sudan during a vital point in the country's history.

ECHO Returnee Project
Project Funded by European Commission Humanitarian Aid Office (ECHO) ECHO Returnee Project:
Returning to the South is a daunting task. Now that the peace agreement has been signed, hundreds of thousands of IDP's will return from Khartoum back to the South. The journey can take months and the returnees often receive no assistance on their trek. Click here to see what FAR is doing to address this.


Nuba Mountains
Project Funded by the World Bank Nuba Mountains – Community empowerment:
The Nuba Mountains are in a transitional area, where the lines of the SPLM controlled South meet the Government of Sudan controlled North. As a result the area has a long history of war and destruction. Since a peace deal was signed, FAR has been working with the community to empower them to meet their own basic needs.


Darfur Seeds and Tools Project
Project Funded by Tearfund Darfur Seeds and Tools:
Darfur is perhaps the most renowned area of Sudan, yet the reasons are unfortunate. Over the past two years 2 million people have been displaced and 180,000 killed in Darfur. FAR has been distributing seeds and tools in Western Darfur for the past year, helping families become self sufficient again.
