OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Yasir Arman and Rosalind Marsden will discuss continuing protests in Sudan calling for the resignation of President Omar al-Bashir, driven in part by high food prices. Mr Arman is the deputy leader of the SPLM/N and the secretary for external affairs of the Sudan Call, a coalition of parties opposed to the current government. Dame Marsden is a former UK ambassador and EU special representative to Sudan, and an associate fellow of the Africa Programme at Chatham House.
