SUDAN-JAPAN-DIPLOMACY-WRESTLING-UNREST-KORDOFAN
TO GO WITH AFP STORY BY IAN TIMBERLAKE
Japanese diplomat Yasuhiro Murotatsu (C), known as "Muro" in the ring poses for a picture with Sudanese fighter Saleh Omar Bol Tia Kafi (L), nicknamed "Al-Mudiriya" after the Sudanese wrestler won their traditional Nuba wrestling match on August 28, 2013 at a stadium in the Khartoum district. In the thousands of years of Sudanese Nuba wrestling history, there had never been anything like it: A barefoot Japanese diplomat in a tight-fitting blue singlet stepping onto the sandy pitch to take on Sudan's toughest. Murotatsu says his wrestling diplomacy highlights this "precious culture" and can help unite a divided country. AFP PHOTO / ASHRAF SHAZLY
