Civil War: The Role Of Social Issues In South Sudan

The country of South Sudan had been through many decades of consistent fighting and civil wars to become the independent country that is today South Sudan. The inequality and unfair government treatment led to their decision of officially breaking the largest country in Africa into two separate countries. Only six years after the peace treaty that finally ended the atrocious civil war did South Sudan gain independence, becoming Africa's newest country. South South Sudan faced many problematic issues wanting to break off and become independent and its own nation because the southerners felt discriminated against by the disagreement with the northern government standards.

The war began when Muslim fundamentalist became unhappy with the Addis Ababa Agreement and in 1983. President Gaafar Nimeiry declared sudan an Islamic state including south sudan. Obviously some people were not pleased specifically south sudan. This caused rebel armies to form fighting the government of sudan. John Garang leading the SPLA (Sudan people's liberation army) fought the central government from a headquarters in southern sudan. Rights of non-Muslims were not protected as promised and later in 1992 SPLA headquarters was captured in Torti by government forces. As the war continued the Sudan government and the rebels attacked and raided villages in Sudan. Later in 1995 many rebel groups from all over sudan came together to form the NDA (National Democratic Alliance). A peace treaty was formed in 2005 to make South Sudan independent in six years but for now they had complete autonomy. A few other agreements were as follows: Oil revenues and Jobs were split equally, also Islamic laws were kept only to the north.

Sudan has had internal problems for many years. The country negatively affected itself from within. No outer force caused the issues at hand. Sudan experiences their first civil war in 1956. The issue came from economic, political, and social domination of largely non-Muslim and non-Arab southern Sudanese. The war lasted for about sixteen years and finally concluded in 1972. Unfortunately the violence

These people did not have proper roads they didn't have any buildings, they did not have clean water, so be appreciative of what you have. This book was written because it strides towards freedom of war and keeping peace. Sudan has had two wars now, the first civil war in the years 1955 to 1972, and the second Sudanese Civil War went on in the years 1983 to 2005.

Well according to Freedom House , a website that accurately rates country’s human rights and freedom on a 1-7 scale, Sudan’s ratings are the worst possible. Their human rights is a 7/7, 1 is the best 7 is the worst, their civil liberties is 7, and their overall freedom is a 7. When your country is overall awful in human rights something needs to change. Freedom, political rights, and civil liberties are the difference between an underdeveloped and a developing country. Sudan, obviously, is underdeveloped. When Britain left Sudan, Sudan was lost. They had so many decisions to make and paths to choose. When a developed country has control of an underdeveloped country the developed country should at least try to help the underdeveloped country to become somewhat developed. Britain, the parent, left Sudan, their kid, on the side of the road and drove

Military regimes that favor Islamic-situated governments have controlled national politics since Sudan gained freedom from Anglo-Egyptian co-rule in 1956. Sudan was entangled in two post-independence civil war amid the greater part of the rest of the twentieth century. These wars were based on the northern Muslims, Arabs economic, political, and social control of the more largely populated non-Muslim, non-Arab southern Sudanese. The first war ended with the 1972 Addis Ababa Agreement, which granted significant regional autonomy to southern Sudan on internal issues. (CIA 2015)

Sudaneses people thought this was something that should never be repeated ever again in history. Not only is Darfur’s genocide a repeated one but it is the 4th genocide in Sudan. Sudan became independent from egyptian and british rule in the 1950’s, and in 2003 violence reached its maximum level. The president of Sudan, Khartoum is now wanted for war crimes and genocide. Sudan has now become a place for Arabs only and Christian blacks are treated unequally. Sudan's government also known as the janjaweed want to cleanse Darfur by killing the blacks and leaving the Arabs. Most Arabs are herters and the farmers are often the

Sudan, the largest country in Africa, was ruled jointly byBritain and Egypt from 1899. Thisended once Sudan gained independence as a parliamentary republic in 1956[1].Since their independence, Sudan has been governed by a succession of volatilecivilian and military governments. The war in Sudan was engaged by alongstanding conflict between the Arab Muslims from the north of Sudan, whogenerally controlled the governmental institutions, and the black Africans ofthe south of Sudan, who follow mainly Christian beliefs. This conflict wasintensified following the imposition of strict Muslim Shari'a law in 1983 underthe the en President Nimeri. Two years later President Nimeri was removed througha peaceful coup and the new government decided that it was in the best interestof Sudan to relax of the usage of Shari'a law pertaining to non-Muslims[2].

The Sudan genocide started on the 26 February 2003, When the Sudan liberation movement rebel groups took up arms against the government of Sudan, the Sudan government responded to the attacks by arming the Janjaweed militia’s and started an ethnic cleansing against non-Arabism Darfur leaving hundreds of thousands dead.

Have you ever heard about the civil war that sent 20,000 Sudanese children lost in afraid without anywhere to go. First we will talk about the food and water struggles of the lost boys.The next we will talk about the many casualties in the war. Last we will talk about why the war happened and why it's important.

Every story has a beginning, so does every country. The Republic of the Sudan is no exception and in 1956, the country gained its independence. Almost immediately civil unrest took hold and a military coup lead by then General Ibrahim Abboud overthrew the government in 1958. During the reign of General Abboud, the country of Sudan would be under Marshall Law. Less than 20 years later yet another military official, Colonel Jafaar Mohammed al-Nimeiry, would lead a coup and take over the state government. Later in 1972, the people of Sudan elect Col Nimeiry as the first President of the Republic. Shortly after his election, President Nimeiry orchestrates a treaty between North and South Sudan to stop the ongoing civil unrest and bloodshed. The Republic of the Sudan experiences peace for almost 10 years before another military coup removes President Nimeiry.

South Sudan gained independence as one of the most fragile and underdeveloped countries in the world and failed to invest in adequate education for its people. Children have been pulled out of school and the UN estimates there are at least 9,000 child soldiers that have been recruited into the current conflict on both sides. South Sudan is one poorest countries in the world. A crisis fueled by years of chronic underdevelopment and decades of fighting has been devastating on the population of South Sudan to include: One in seven women die in childbirth, eighty-four percent of women are illiterate, half the population has no access to improved sources of drinking water, one in nine children will not live to see their fifth birthday, and only

Although the background of Sudan’s modern timeline begins in 1881 when she was conquered by Turkey and Egypt, the modern famines starts in 1958 when a military coup replaced the civilian government. South Sudan was still part of the larger nation of Sudan as she gained independence in 1956, but the corrupt leaders that manifested from the greed and power created a kleptocratic, winner-take-all state. (2) Civil war commenced as early as 1962 creating a mosaic of military dictatorships instead of one of stable governance. Between 1964, when the new national government was formed, until the 1990’s where another military coup by Al-Bashir’s Islamic Front (NIC), instability was the catalyst for famine.

13. Fact: South Sudan has 20 different ethnic groups. This helps to explain why it is failing because: Too many ethnic groups in one state can lead to ethnic competition. Disputes over boundaries or distribution of power can cause the ethnic groups to declare independence and become its own nation-state, thus tearing the state apart.

South Sudan is currently facing many problems. Its economic problem is of utmost importance because its economy is
