About this episode
For almost three years, a civil war has decimated Sudan’s Darfur region.
Bob Kitchen, who leads emergency humanitarian programs for the International Rescue Committee, just returned from the region. He described what he saw in a series of audio diaries that he shared with NPR.
A warning — the audio you are about to hear contains graphic descriptions of violence and rape against women and children.
