SSSUK

The SSSUK Committee invites you to join a group helping to plan and organize the 2025 symposium in London in September. Every year the Committee chooses speakers and themes that we think will be of interest to members - whether it be about Sudan, South Sudan, or the diaspora, about the distant past, current events, or the future. We are keen to hear the voices of young members in our discussions. Some of our most popular recent sessions have been those led by and about the latest diaspora generation and, last year, by two fantastic poets.

Readers will need no reminder that the war has now been raging in Sudan for two years. Like many we made a plea at Eid two years ago that the combatants draw back from disaster and end the war. This Eid, with great sadness, we urgently repeat our plea. Those risks we identified in 2023 - of countless lives lost, of critical infrastructure destroyed and heritage institutions damaged and looted - all these have come to pass in almost every region of the country.
