The Nuba Mountains became a refuge. That safety is now unravelling.
Pulitzer Center grantee Sophie Neiman will join students and faculty at Elon University for a multi-day campus visit on October 20-22, 2026, as part of the Pulitzer Center’s Campus Consortium Partnership with the university. During her visit at the campus in Elon, N.C., Neiman will speak with students and faculty about her reporting and the journalistic process.
Neiman is a freelance journalist covering politics, conflict, and human rights across East and Central Africa. Her reporting and photography have appeared in Al Jazeera, The Christian Science Monitor, New Internationalist, The New York Review of Books, and World Politics Review, among other publications.
Neiman has received Pulitzer Center grants for three reporting projects: Charting Conflict and Corruption—Uganda and the DRC, Women and War in Eastern Congo, and most recently Fragile Safety in the Nuba Mountains.
Her most recent Pulitzer Center-supported project investigates how a new alliance between the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement-North (SPLM-N) and the Rapid Support Forces, Sudan’s most feared paramilitary, is reshaping the conflict in the Nuba Mountains, placing civilians at greater risk and revealing the escalating human cost of the war.
