...Yahia's family story chronicles Sudan's turbulent political history. In 1969, his father had been a minister in President Jafar Nimeiry's government, but was later placed under house arrest. The family fled Sudan in 1974, and Yahia was educated in Britain and France before moving to Colorado, where he worked as a graphic designer. Meanwhile, back home, things were getting worse...
