One of the other web projects that Forced Migration Online are currently involved with is Mursi Online. The website officially went live today and was developed by the FMO team at the Refugee Studies Centre, University of Oxford, and funded by the Christensen Fund of Palo Alto, California. The website has many features including video clips and an image gallery. Mursi Online is intended to be a source of information and news about the Mursi, and a place where the pressures and challenges facing them today can be described and discussed, increasingly, it is hoped, by Mursi themselves.
