Walk for peace

I am proposing a “Walk for Peace” to the Sudanese and Chad governments.  If they approve this, I shall take the final document from my research and deliver this to the capital of the Sudan, Khartoum.  I will then set out on foot from here, through Darfur to the capital of Chad, N’Djamena.

 

The purpose of the walk is to offer people along the way to join in this tranquil gesture of support for peace in the region.

 

The walk is 1200-1500 miles across some harsh desert and mountains.  At a conservative estimate of 3 miles per hour, with ten hours of walking per day, I may take around 50 days to make the walk. 

 

As I am working through the logistics, I shall share here.  Approvals seem like a stretch, and yet I remain optimistic for some reason.

 

With warmth:
