This week on War News Radio, we present a show from our sister studio, the Sudan Radio Project.

First, we hear about US-Sudan relations in the past two decades and how major events like the September 11 terrorist attacks have shaped them.

Next, an update on current tensions and progress made in the North and South surrounding the referendum.

Then, a look at the African Championship of Nations, a soccer tournament to be hosted by Sudan in February 2011.

And last, we learn about the concerns at the United Nations about potential conflict arising from the upcoming January referendum–and if it even happens at all.
