NEWS HISTORY
You might be surpised to know that Darfur has been building its national identity since the Middle Ages.
That's because the news we get has no past.
I'm Hugh Graham. This blog is about when, where and how things in the news things began.
It's about understanding CURRENT EVENTS through their Origins so that we don't dismiss things as "another helpless African problem" (Darfur) or "Another backward Communist enclave (Korea).
How did the crisis in DARFUR start?
Or the war in SRI LANKA?
When did the idea of INVADING IRAQ first pop into anyone's head? Why?
This is a blog about the origins of events in the day to day news.
It's a blog for everybody.
