The Republic of South Sudan, formed in 2011, is one of the worlds youngest countries and it

According to the conflict theory of dependency, Sudan was taken advantage of, then eventually left on its own. One

The Sudan Liberation Movement and the Justice Equality Movement took arms against the Sudanese government, which was later named “The War in Darfur”. Which sparked the anger of the government and sent their military to begin murdering many villages, that were non Arabs. In many accounts reported about 2 million were killed over 2 decades.Scarce resources played a huge role in the mass killings of Sudanese (non arab).

Sudan has known conflict for most of its existence. The discovery of oil in 1979 served to heighten this conflict as north and south fought over valuable resources. In more recent years human rights violations and genocide have occurred in unsurpassed numbers with the Sudanese governments support. Sudanese President Umar al-Bashir is the first sitting head of state with an issued arrest warrant by the International Criminal Court for genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes. In July 2011 southern Sudanese citizens voted to secede from Sudan and form the Republic of South Sudan in response to years of oppression by the Arab led Islamist government. South Sudan is now the worlds newest country and free to determine its own path

Briefly explain the circumstances surrounding the conflict. Specify what kinds of conflicts are taking place.

Throughout history, our world has constantly been bruised and battered by civil turmoil. Today, the civil war in Syria decimates the country; the Israeli and Palestinian conflict rages on; tens of thousands of people have been killed in South Sudan's ongoing civil war. It is not always easy to isolate what exactly ignites the flames of war, but, whenever possible, finding a workable, calm and satisfying solution to a potential uprising is preferable.

If the parties reach a solution, it may be necessary to repair the relationships that may have been damaged during the escalated conflict

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

In conclusion Sudan is very different than America. The executive authority is held by only one person and the flag is very different looking than ours. Sudan is flat, hot, and dry, and it has the second longest river flowing through it, the Nile River. There are 20 mammals and 9 bird species that are endangered because of hunting and because the animals fight over limited resources. I learned a lot about Sudan during this research, did

This Law seriously violated the 1972 peace agreement, forcing the south to adopt Arab culture, language and the religion of Islam. The Nimeiry government was strengthening Sudan’s ties to Egypt and Saudi Arabia, as economic hardships drew it away from the Soviet Union and closer to western nations. During the 1980’s, strikes, riots and shortages of goods and services had devastated the nation. The discovery of natural resources, such as minerals and petroleum that were discovered in the south added to the problem. Although the discovery of natural reserves should have helped Sudan’s economic situation, it became another source of conflict between the north and the south over who would control it.

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.

My predictions for the world if these problems are not solved, is next to nothing will happen. In all honestly, the U.S. doesn’t care enough about certain war-torn countries to do anything. Case and point being North Korea, an article written by Jeremi Suri of the New York Times states The Korean crisis has now become a strategic threat to America’s core national interests. “The best option is to destroy the North Korean missile on the ground before it is launched. The United States should use a precise airstrike to render the missile and its mobile launcher inoperable.” This article was written in the spring of 2013. Nothing close to this has been done since. As far as, how will the world look if the problems in Sudan are never solved? The western world won’t notice a thing, at least citizens won’t. Sudan, however, will continue to fight and kill each other over a conflict with no real resolution. The impact these problems could impact me as an adult would be increased taxes, or the U.S. budget re-arranged in a way that allows military force or further funding for war-torn countries, particularly Sudan. I do not think these problems can or ever will be solved. There will always be brutal civil wars over fortune and power, particularly in African countries where these things mean

While still struggling to achieve peace with Sudan since its independence in 2011, South Sudan is now rife with inner-conflict. Rebel forces led by the former Vice-President Riek Machar want to overthrow the South Sudanese government, led by President Salva Kiir.

The government of Sudan, a country in Northeast Africa, is committing a horrendous crime against humanity. Genocide is raging on in Western Sudan against poor, helpless, innocent people. It is actually the ten year “anniversary” since the beginning of the Darfur conflict and the genocide still continues on. There are over 1.4 million people who still do not have homes to come back to, and the numbers stack higher every day. Bombings have not stopped, as there was one as recent as February 2013. The Darfur conflict in the beginning was just a brewing disaster and it eventually led to the horrendous genocides in the early 2000s due to early settlement disputes, climate change, and radical Islamic

The origin of the war between these two regions goes back to the 1950s when the country, which was previously two separate nations, was made one after World War II by the west. Shortly after this union, Sudan was emancipated from England. 1983 marks the beginning of the violent relations between the North and South Sudan. The initiation of this conflict was brought forth by the Islamic Sudanese of the North, invading with military force the Southern Sudanese Christians . From 1983, it is estimated that at least two million people have been killed in the violent duration of this genocide, most of whom are of the Christian faith and lead non-violent civilian lives. Attention on human trafficking was brought into the international community’s scope with close proximity to the beginning of the violence as two professors from the University of Khartoum shed light on the subject. Ushari Ahmad Mahumud and Suleyman Ali Baldo learned about the genocide and enslavement being practiced on the Dinka people, a tribal group in the southern Sudan, and upon this discovery they dicided to investigate it further. What they found was that raiders from the north were killing the Southern Christian men and kidnapping the women and children to be sold into slavery. The most disturbing part of this discovery was the newfound knowledge that this had been going on for over two years. Professors Mahumud and Baldo
