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.[2][3] 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.[2][3][note 1] The journal was published in large part to generate wider support for the South Sudanese cause.[4]
The Curtain [surrounding Southern Sudan] is not iron, but grass. — Enoch Mading de Garang, 1970, London[1]
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.[5]
