BBC World Service - Weekend, Sudan conflict: The world's forgotten war

US warns countries involved in the conflict not to seek to benefit from the war there.

The US special envoy for Sudan says the country is being picked over by other countries like a weak animal on the Serengeti. Speaking to the BBC, Tom Perriello expressed concern at what he said was the involvement of countries of the Sahel, the United Arab Emirates, Iran and Russia. We will speak to journalist Declan Walsh, and photographer, Photographer, Ivor Prickett, who travelled to Sudan recently for an assignment for the New York Times. 

And Italians will begin voting on Saturday afternoon on the third of four days of European elections where people across 27 countries will choose members of the next EU Parliament.

Joining the presenter Luke James, our guests are Alec Russell, Foreign Editor for the Financial Times, and Suzanne Lynch, associate editor of Politico, the US news website.
