While many armed rebels around the world are driven by extreme ideas, one elusive armed group is fighting for democracy — the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement-North. Nicholas Casey, a New York Times Magazine reporter, and Moises Saman, a photographer, embedded with the group in territory it runs amid the civil war ravaging Sudan. As many as 150,000 people might be dead, and millions are displaced, though the chaos has made an accurate count impossible. As the rebels eye the next city to “liberate,” in their words, they seem more equipped for battle than for defending their people against a famine…

Review by Carla Caruso The longest-running musical on Broadway, Chicago has come to Adelaide’s Festival Theatre for four weeks only (4–31 August 2024) after getting rave reviews and capacity audiences across the nation. Think themes of murder, greed, corruption and adultery, plus razzle dazzle, with the decadent 1920s as a backdrop. I went in to watch the Aussie production, having never seen Chicago onstage or the Catherine…
Lune Gorge, Kirkby LonsdaleThe market town of Kirkby Lonsdale nestles deep in the green heart of Cumbria, between the Pennines and the Peak District. At its heart is St. Mary’s Church, a building over 1000 years old. The churchyard slopes down to a steep valley overlooking the River Lune, which winds through its gorge between fields and steep woodlands on its way to the coast. The 19th century philosopher John Ruskin said it was “one of the loveliest views in England, and therefore of the world. Whatever moorland hill, and sweet river, and English forest foliage can be at their…
As the tour boat in New York Harbor approached the Statue of Liberty, Miranda Marín, a 12-year-old violinist from Venezuela, turned to a group of friends gathered near the bow and jumped up and down.“We’re here!” she shouted, taking pictures of the statue’s crown. “Can you believe it?”Marín, along with more than 160 members of the National Children’s Symphony of Venezuela, had come to New York for a weeklong festival that ended on Wednesday at Carnegie Hall.

There are many fun elements of moving into a new house, but of course, some of them involve hard work. Heading into a brand new household and designing it to your standards is the work of several years, as you’re unlikely to have the perfect form-fitted approach immediately. Perhaps you’ve moved into a particular house knowing that the bathroom needs work, but you’re happy to save and work on that when you’re most able, and so it’s not much of a sticking point that prevented your purchase.However, even the best interior designers need time to understand their goals and how…
By the time I reached the hilltop over Kadugli in June, the war in Sudan had been raging for 1 year, 2 months and 7 days — more time than the war in Gaza, less than the one in Ukraine. Yet despite having killed many thousands of people and displacing millions more, this brutal civil war has remained nearly unknown to most of the world. Many NGOs no longer operate in the country. The United States Embassy fled to Ethiopia shortly after the fighting erupted. I arrived in Sudan with the help of a rebel group that controlled parts of…
