Sudan (Africa)

Introduction ::Sudan

Background:

Military regimes favoring Islamic-oriented governments have

dominated national politics since independence from the UK in

1956. Sudan was embroiled in two prolonged civil wars during

most of the remainder of the 20th century. These conflicts were

rooted in northern economic, political, and social domination of

largely non-Muslim, non-Arab southern Sudanese. The first civil

war ended In 1972 but broke out again in 1983. The second war

and famine-related effects resulted in more than four million

people displaced and , according to rebel estimates, more than two

million deaths over a period of two decades. Peace talks gained

momentum in 2002-04 with the signing of several accords. The

final North/South Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA), signed

in January 2005, granted the southern rebels autonomy for six

years. After which, a referendum for independence is scheduled to

be held. A separate conflict, which broke out in the western region

of Darfur in 2003, has displaced nearly two million people and

caused an estimated 200,000 to 400,000 deaths. The UN took

command of the Darfur peacekeeping operation from the African

Union on 31 December 2007. As of early 2009, peacekeeping

troops were struggling to stabilize the situation, which has become

increasingly regional in scope and has brought instability to eastern

Chad. Sudan also has faced large refugee influxes from

neighboring countries primarily Ethiopia and Chad. Armed

conflict, poor transport infrastructure, and lack of government

support have chronically obstructed the provision of humanitarian

assistance to affected populations.
