In A Remote Corner Of Sudan, An American Takes His Stand / Madeline Boreham/ 4th period

Ryan Boyette is a native to Florida and has spent the last 11 year in a remote part of Sudan where he has a wife. He first came with a evangelical christian aid group and when problems started to arise, Boyette stayed behind for the people.  He started with a few people and $45,000 dollars, but he has created a system of going out and getting stories.
He runs a website that is called Nuba Reports and has teamed up with the Enough project that battles genocide. They have already received help from celebrities with huge donations.
Boyette and his crew get involved, recently documenting an air strike. They  have received threatening letters and have attempts on their lives with bombs. Still Boyette is relentless and will continue to push sharing the events of Sudan with the people. His goal is to not only get the U.N and U.S.A. involved, but also the Sudanese people so that they will see what is going on and take charge.


        An American has taken his rights as citizen of the U.S.A. to Sudan.  Displaying the importance of the first amendment; he documents, publishes horrific events and writes his belief along with them. All in hopes of making a difference in Sudan. To call attention to the wickedness going on. Now people in Sudan do not have the luxry we have of freedom of speech so Ryan Boyette is speaking for the people. He has already endured threats for these people so he is clear on how far he is willing to go for them. This is inspiring, to see an American fighting for someone else for something that should be an immediate right of freedom and safety.  Boyette is doing the right thing and more attention needs to be called to this matter so that government forces can step in and solve this problem.
