Sudan Profile
Please read this article, then respond in the comments section with three remaining questions you have about Sudan or the Sudanese Civil War. This article will provide historical and societal context for our upcoming novel, What is the What.
- The south wanted independence, and won. Why did the south want independence in the first place?
- Why was there a civil war between the North and the South? Why did it start in the first place?
- If the South had its own freedom and can govern themselves without the North's support, why did the fighting stop in 1972 and then start again in 1983?
1) Why did they not try to solve their conflict so that they will not have to secede from each other? 2) Was there people who went against the secession? 3) How is the conflict now and what is the future going to look like for Sudan?
How come the struggle for independence for the people of the South of Sudan take so long?
How come the grievances of the northern states of South Kordofan and Blue Nile remain unaddressed? Why didn't they address them?
In Darfur, in western Sudan, how come the United Nations accused the pro-government Arab militias of a campaign of ethnic cleansing against non-Arab locals?
