In this week's episode, we talk to Hiba Morgan. Hiba is the Al Jazeera English correspondent in Sudan and has spent the last three years covering a civil war in her own country, even as much of the world remained indifferent. Hiba began by explaining the background to the conflict and where it might be headed. Later, she spoke movingly about her experiences covering the war as a Sudanese journalist, and why some international news stories get more attention than others.

Hiba bio:

Hiba Morgan is the Al Jazeera English correspondent in Sudan. Hiba, who is Sudanese, has been with Al Jazeera for more than a decade and has reported from her home country since 2009.
