Sudanese Christian, Muslim Unite for 'Ceasefire'
For decades, Sudan's civil war has pitted the country's Muslim north against its Christian and animist south. Today, despite the crisis in Darfur, a ceasefire is holding in the larger Sudanese conflict.
Ceasefire is also a new musical collaboration between a young Christian rapper and an elderly Muslim singer and bandleader, both from Sudan: Emmanuel Jal and Abdel Gadir Salim. Banning Eyre has this review.
