Romney’s Roanoke County rally makes the front page in Sudan

We’ve already told you about the two international journalists, Reem Yousuf Al-Harami, from Qatar, and Elham Mustafa A.Salih, from Sudan, who are covering the presidential election from the Roanoke Times newsroom as part of a program funded by the International Center for Journalists.

The two accompanied a team of Roanoke Times staffers on Thursday to cover Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney’s rally in Bonsack. (My story on the rally is here.)

Today, Elham brought us a copy of the front page of her newspaper in Sudan, which includes a photo (by RT photo Jeanna Duerscherl) and her story on the rally in Roanoke County.

No word yet on whether the Sudanese version of the story included a Bonsack dateline. (UPDATE: I’m told the story bears a Roanoke dateline.)
