New Sudan Vision
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
New Sudan Vision is one of the prominent few online South Sudanese newspapers. Founded in January 2006 in Winnipeg by South Sudanese students with the mission to "bridge the information gap," New Sudan Vision still has a long way in consolidating the dawn of peace in Sudan with the signing of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) which ended Africa's longest civil war.
Based in Canada, though with members and contributions from Sudanese at home and abroad, the website was at its international peak in August 2007 when a story it translated from Arabic newspaper about a Sudanese minister who had been on the investigation committee looking into Garang's death in a crash claimed his death was a "murder." The Ugandan Daily Monitor picked up the story and credited New Sudan Vision for it, and the link (s) referred more viewers than any other time to the site.
In its editorial, New Sudan Vision upholds its core principle that Sudan must be a country that respects and treats all its people equally, regardless of race or differences in religion. In one of its editorials, it advocated for establishing of commission to investigate the claims of the murder of the late Sudanese First Vice President and President of South Sudan, Dr. John Garang's controversial death.
New Sudan Vision provides news of "Current Sudan (especially Southern Sudan) news and news of the Sudanese diaspora," according to Stanford.edu.
