Talk:Riek Machar

Education
I've seen this page claim he has various degrees from various schools. Yet, not one has been cited, and they range from good schools to diploma mills. In the interest of fairness, I removed the mention of his education and it should not be added back without proper WP:RS. Arbusto 21:01, 8 September 2006 (UTC)


 * For example, this Dec 2005 Sudan Tribune article states Machar "Received Doctorate from University of Bedford, England in 1984." The problem is no such school exists called University of Bedford, which was a diploma mill operation that would predate the degrees it sold. No campus or classes ever existed.

More info on Riek Machar from Deborah Scroggins' "Emma's War"
There's a fascinating book (I'm about two thirds of the way through it) which focusses on the life of Emma McCune, a British aid worker who was married to Riek Machar in the early 1990s. McCune ended up dying in a mysterious car crash not long after her marriage. The book traces her journey from aid worker to second wife of a rebel leader, and in doing so gives a lot of detail about the SPLA and the Sudanese civil war. Scroggins interviewed a wide range of people in writing the book, including Lam Akol and Riek Machar himself. The book examines Riek's alleged involvement in extrajudicial killings, the recruitment of child soldiers, the misappropriation of UN food relief intended for starving Sudanese refugees, and the Bor massacre. There's a review here: http://archive.salon.com/books/review/2002/12/11/scroggins/print.html Rcameronw 17:27, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

One more thing... according to Scroggins, Riek's degree is from Bradford University - the book makes no mention of Bedford. A quick google search returned a number of sources that back this. My guess would be that the reference to Bedford is erroneous. 80.41.30.235 18:22, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
