More Anglicans offer support to strife-engulfed Sudan
Anglicans from Melbourne and all over the world are offering prayers and support to Sudan and striving to find ways to help the chaos-torn nation, which is soon to be split into two separate countries.
Bishop Phillip Huggins of Melbourne’s North West Region said the city’s large Sudanese population still bore the scars of earlier civil wars.
“We hold the people of Sudan in our prayers, and as a community we will continue to offer what support we can to them,” Bishop Huggins said.

One of the difficulties in addressing the Sudanese crisis is that we are back to the Cold War proxy game, although this time around it is China who is pulling the strings and not USSR. They have had troops/‘advisers’ (in Vietnam-like language) on the ground for a number of years now, as they have also in a number of other African countries. I.e. any real and effective engagement with the Sudanese North will involve engaging the Chinese; and who has to the will and stomach for that? And the Chinese naturally also know this.
