SUDAN-JAPAN-DIPLOMACY-WRESTLING-UNREST-KORDOFAN
TO GO WITH AFP STORY BY IAN TIMBERLAKE
Family and friends of Japanese diplomat Yasuhiro Murotatsu, known as "Muro" in the ring watch as he competes against Sudanese fighter Saleh Omar Bol Tia Kafi, nicknamed "Al-Mudiriya" in a traditional Sudanese 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
