Sudan has been ravaged by two-decades of civil war. The latest fighting has pitted rebel black Africans against government forces in Darfur. The government says it is trying to put down a regional uprising, but it also accused of sponsoring an Arab militia, known as the Janjaweed that has forced nearly two million people from their homes. We talk to BBC correspondent, Hilary Andersson, who went to Sudan to document the violence. Her documentary, “The New Killing Fields,” was broadcast on the BBC this week, and it tells the story of a country ravaged by violence, fear and death.
