About Sudan Located in Northern Africa, Sudan is the continent's largest country with three distinct geographical areas - barren deserts in the north, flatlands in the central region, and dense rainforests in the south. Sudan is roughly divided into an Arab and Islamic North and an African South. The influence of Christianity in South Sudan has spread since its introduction by missionaries during British colonial rule.

Southern Cross Thursday, April 01, 2004 These "fairy circles" in Namibia are really cool. (Sorryyou'll have to follow the link to see the picture.) Their origin is still unknown, but they remind me a lot of these "crunchy donuts" in Norway: In remote regions of the Arctic, Antarctica, and the Australian outback, an explorer can trek across bleak, uninhabited landscapes only to suddenly stumble upon ground decorated with weird patterns. These lonely sites feature ankle-high and meter-wide donuts of gravel; mazes, stripes, and polygonal networks of pebbles, sand, or ice; and sometimes ice crevasses in perfect geometric patterns. The enigmatic configurations, seemingly created without human influence, call to mind the mysterious phenomenon of crop circles, except that the puzzling structures are made of rocks or ice instead of trampled corn or wheat. The patterns are believed to be formed by the interaction of soil and water under the influence of the freeze-thaw cycle. They may take centuries to develop.

They settled into the area and began intermarrying with the local population The Muslim traders who came to the region were generally wealthy, and marrying into their families carried with it a great deal of prestige. Over time Islam and the Arabic language also became firmly established in the north. However, Islam spread quite slowly into the interior of the Sudan, only reaching the western and central regions around the fifteenth century. In the nineteenth century, Sudan fell under the colonial domination of Egypt and Britain. It gained independence in 1954.

Prague, 27 May 2004 (RFE/RL) With the signing of agreements in Kenya yesterday by the Sudanese government and rebels from the south of Sudan, only procedural matters remain to bring an end to a 21-year-old civil war in which more than 2 million people are thought to have died mostly from war-induced famine.

Rockefeller Wing (May 22-October 28) reflect an appreciation for the breadth, diversity, and vitality of the continent's cultural heritage. Since the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, sculptural traditions in wood from sub-Saharan Africa have been the focus of African-art collecting in the West. While the exceptional accomplishments of African sculptors in representing the human form through wood sculpture continue to be the focus of collections such as that of the Metropolitan Museum, there has been a growing appreciation of other forms of artistic expression in recent decades.

Some of these groups are affiliated to the Sudanese umbrella opposition group, the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), which includes the Sudan People's Liberation Army (SPLA) and other northern opposition groups such as the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP), the Sudanese Communist Party and smaller regional parties such as the Beja Congress representing the non-Arab, but Muslim, Beja ethnic group of eastern Sudan. The Sudanese government has also warned that armed opposition groups in Darfur include renegade members of the Umma Party headed by former Sudanese Prime Minister Sadig Al-Mahdi. The Umma Party has denied any links with the instigators of war in Western Sudan, including Darfur, even though the region has long been considered a stronghold of the Umma Party and affiliated Sufi religious orders.

If we follow the dictum, an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, we will end up being a nation of eyeless and toothless people Oil and the Civil War in the Sudan THE CIVIL WAR IN THE SOUTH Since the firing of the first bullet in 1983, the reappearance of the war between northern and southern Sudan has generally been interpreted as a typical ethno-religious conflict emanating from differences between Muslims and Christians, or Arabs and Africans. While this categorisation may have served well as a description of the earlier conflict in the 1950s, and still has some bearing on how the war is being conducted and perceived, our opinion is that the nature of the conflict has changed. Conflicts are processes, not static events. And over the last five decades developments in the Sudan have gradually if consistently changed the nature of the conflict between the North and the South from being a classic ethno-religious conflict to one primarily over resources, with the economic and resource crisis in the North emerging as the driving force in the Sudanese civil war The two Civil Wars The Sudan is a country at war with itself. Violent conflict is raging in four fronts in the Sudan, civil war in the South, high intensity conflict in the Nuba Mountains and high to medium intensity conflicts in the East and West of the country. To understand the turmoil of violence and dislocation, a differentiation between structural and direct causes of violence is useful. Structural problems are responsible for making the country susceptible to unrest, while the direct causes are the ones that actually precipitate violence.
