Shafaqna English- UNESCO announced the Sudanese Journalists Syndicate as the laureate of the UNESCO/Guillermo Cano World Press Freedom Prize.
The Sudanese Journalists Syndicate has played a role in condemning the deliberate targeting of journalists in the ongoing conflict in the country.
Since fighting broke out in 2023, the Syndicate has documented 32 journalists’ deaths; 556 violations against media workers, and the cessation of numerous newspapers and radio stations, making Sudan one of the most dangerous countries to be a journalist.
