Grass Curtain
# Grass Curtain

Grass Curtain was a quarterly journal of Southern Sudanese politics and current events published by the Southern Sudan Association in London between 1970 and 1972. Enoch Mading de Garang was the journal's co-founder and editor-in-chief. The Grass Curtain was closely linked to the Southern Sudan Liberation Movement (SSLM), the political arm of Anya-Nya, a collection of Southern Sudanese separatist movements formed during the First Sudanese Civil War. The journal was published in large part to generate wider support for the South Sudanese cause.

## Name

The journal's name, Grass Curtain, evoked the Iron Curtain, referring to the boundaries of disinterest and political oppression that obscured the conflict in Southern Sudan from wider attention.
