LATTIT, Sudan (AP) - Two years ago, Lattit's farms were arid wasteland and its villagers refugees.
Now, thanks to a new earthen dam, green fields stretch into the distance, producing food for sale and to feed hundreds of families who have returned. And they are reason for hope in a poor and violence-wracked corner of Sudan, and perhaps for other trouble spots in a troubled country.
Most important, villagers say, they — not aid agencies — made it happen, at one point bargaining with a road crew for use of a bulldozer to build the dam.
