Sophie and Sudan


I was moved by an article I saw written about Sophie Wessex, wife of Prince Edward, who has travelled to Juba in South Sudan. Not since Princess Diana visited Angola has a Royal wife visited a war zone which is a really very dangerous and she named a rape center, in that new country.
Christina Lamb was accompanying her on this trip as the work she is doing on sexual violence - she has met victims of this neglected war crime. Christina reported that since she became aware that 20,000 women were raped by the Serb forces in the Yugoslav war, but there have been no convictions: This issue has become her mission for life.
