Book Synopsis The Struggle for South Sudan by : Luka Biong Deng Kuol
Download or read book The Struggle for South Sudan written by Luka Biong Deng Kuol and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2018-11-29 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: South Sudan, the world's youngest country, has experienced a rocky start to its life as an independent nation. Less than three years after gaining independence in 2011 following a violent liberation war, the country slid back into conflict. In the wake of infighting within the ruling Sudan People's Liberation Movement (SPLM), violence erupted in South Sudan's capital, Juba, in December 2013. The conflict pitted President Salva Kiir's predominantly Dinka presidential guard against Nuer fighters loyal to the former Vice President Riek Machar. As fighting spread across the country, it has taken on an increasingly ethnic nature. Ceasefires have been agreed, but there have been repeated violations by all sides. Today the conflict continues unabated and the humanitarian situation grows ever more urgent. This book analyses the crisis and some of its contributing factors. The contributors have worked on South Sudan for a number of years and bring a wealth of knowledge and different perspectives to this discussion. Providing the most comprehensive analysis yet of South Sudan's social and political history, post-independence governance systems and the current challenges for development, this book will be essential reading for all those interested in the continuing struggle for peace in South Sudan.

Book Synopsis The Root Causes of Sudan's Civil Wars by : Douglas Hamilton Johnson
Download or read book The Root Causes of Sudan's Civil Wars written by Douglas Hamilton Johnson and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2003 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sudan's post-independence history has been dominated by long, recurring, and bloody civil wars. Most commentators have attributed the country's political and civil strife either to an age-old racial and ethnic divide between Arabs and Africans or to colonially constructed inequalities. In The Root Causes of Sudan's Civil Wars, Douglas H. Johnson examines historical, political, economic, and social factors to come to a more subtle understanding of the trajectory of Sudan's civil wars. Johnson focuses on the essential differences between the modern Sudan's first civil war in the 1960s, the current war, and the minor conflicts generated by and contained within the larger wars. Regional and international factors, such as humanitarian aid, oil revenue, and terrorist organizations, are cited and examined as underlying issues that have exacerbated the violence. Readers will find an immensely readable yet nuanced and well-informed handling of the history and politics of Sudan's civil wars.
Book Synopsis The Southern Sudan by : Elijah Malok
Download or read book The Southern Sudan written by Elijah Malok and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2024-02-02 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many centuries, the politics of Sudan has been characterised by racial dichotomy and identity crisis, specifically between the North and the South. Added to these is the long history of domination, unfavourable policies and uneven development. The resulting marginalisation, neglect and underdevelopment has bred a series of fierce conflicts culminating in one of the longest civil wars in Africa - between the Khartoum forces and the Sudan Peoples Liberation Army (and Movement), SPLA/M. The war ended with the signing of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) in Nairobi on 9th January 2005. Unlike other publications, The Southern Sudan: Struggle for Liberty provides an in-depth view of the struggle from a veteran's perspective. Having himself lived the struggle and rising to the position of Commander in the SPLA, the author renders a story of the conflict of Southern Sudan right from the Juba Conference of 1947 and the August 1955 mutiny through the Anyanya Movements to the civil war and eventual peace. Using personal experience and accounts, he also carries with him the personalities and events that shaped the struggle and expresses his hopes and fears of the future of Southern Sudan. The events in the book are captivating, the narrative riveting and the historical perspective academically stimulating. The author's standpoint on issues is so provocative that it's bound to raffle a number of feathers in the political corridors of Southern Sudan.
Download or read book South Sudan written by Matthew Arnold and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2013-01-11 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In July 2011 the Republic of South Sudan achieved independence, concluding what had been Africa's longest running civil war. The process leading to independence was driven by the Sudan Peoples' Liberation Movement, a primarily Southern rebel force and political movement intent on bringing about the reformed unity of the whole Sudan. Through the Comprehensive Peace Agreement of 2005, a six year peace process unfolded in the form of an interim period premised upon 'making unity attractive' for the Sudan. A failed exercise, it culminated in an almost unanimous vote for independence by Southerners in a referendum held in January 2011. Violence has continued since, and a daunting possibility for South Sudan has arisen - to have won independence only to descend into its own civil war, with the regime in Khartoum aiding and abetting factionalism to keep the new state weak and vulnerable. Achieving a durable peace will be a massive challenge, and resolving the issues that so inflamed Southerners historically - unsupportive governance, broad feelings of exploitation and marginalisation and fragile ethnic politics - will determine South Sudan's success or failure at statehood. A story of transformation and of victory against the odds, this book reviews South Sudan's modern history as a contested region and assesses the political, social and security dynamics that will shape its immediate future as Africa's newest independent state.
Download or read book South Sudan written by Hilde F. Johnson and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2016-06-09 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In July 2011, South Sudan was granted independence and became the world's newest country. Yet just two-and-a-half years after this momentous decision, the country was in the grips of renewed civil war and political strife. Hilde F. Johnson served as Special Representative of the Secretary-General and Head of the United Nations Mission in the Republic of South Sudan from July 2011 until July 2014 and, as such, she was witness to the many challenges which the country faced as it struggled to adjust to its new autonomous state. In this book, she provides an unparalleled insider's account of South Sudan's descent from the ecstatic celebrations of July 2011 to the outbreak of the disastrous conflict in December 2013 and the early, bloody phase of the fighting. Johnson's frequent personal and private contacts at the highest levels of government, accompanied by her deep knowledge of the country and its history, make this a unique eyewitness account of the turbulent first three years of the world's newest - and yet most fragile - country.

Book Synopsis South Sudan's Civil War by : John Young
Download or read book South Sudan's Civil War written by John Young and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2019-01-15 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A mere two years after achieving independence, South Sudan in 2013 descended into violent civil war, refuting US government claims that the country's succession was a major foreign policy success and would end endemic conflict. Worse was to follow when the international community declared famine in 2017. In the first book-length study of the South Sudan civil war, John Young draws on his close but critical relationship with the rebel SPLM-IO leadership to reveal the true dynamics of the conflict, and exposes how the South Sudanese state was in crisis long before the outbreak of war. With insider knowledge of the histories and motivations of the rebellion's chief protagonists, Young argues considerable responsibility for the present state of South Sudan must be laid at the door of the US-led peace process. Linking the role of the international community with the country's opposition politics, South Sudan's Civil War is an essential guide to the causes and consequences of the violence that has engulfed one of Africa's most troubled nations.

Book excerpt: In 2011, South Sudan became independent following a long war of liberation, that gradually became marked by looting, raids and massacres pitting ethnic communities against each other. In this remarkably comprehensive work, Edward Thomas provides a multi-layered examination of what is happening in the country today. Writing from the perspective of South Sudan's most mutinous hinterland, Jonglei state, the book explains how this area was at the heart of South Sudan's struggle.

Book Synopsis The Struggle for the Liberation of South Sudan by : Daniel Matthews
Download or read book The Struggle for the Liberation of South Sudan written by Daniel Matthews and published by . This book was released on 1916-01-09 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Preface and IntroductionI wish to write a somewhat peculiar Preface to this book, my autobiography which sets out to outline my life and tell the story of my contribution to the struggle for the liberation of the peoples of South Sudan. I say somewhat peculiar because most prefaces set out to explain the author's motivations for writing a book, and provide the highlights of the contents of the book. In this Preface, I choose rather to provide the reader with historical background information about the Sudan in general and South Sudan, which most South Sudanese consider their country, in particular. This is done so that the reader understands my story better including its concern for the liberation of the Southern Sudan and the struggle for self-determination. While from the 1990s onwards I found myself as a roaming ambassador for peace in my country, I found constant need to provide background briefs to our sympathizers--one good example of such sympathizers being the Government of Sweden who gave me political asylum in the city of Karlskoga-- of the decades-long struggle for the emancipation of the peoples of Southern Sudan. My briefs would be wide-ranging and would go far into our history. My preface is, therefore, basically a repeat of the story I told to people so as to make them understand our situation and our problem; I have, however, made significant modifications in order to make the story as clear as possible. The story of our people is far older than the story of the Sudan, as a region given that name by the Arabs in the 9th century of the Christian Era, and very much older than the country that came to be called Anglo-Egyptian Sudan after the 1885 Partition of Africa by the Imperial Powers of Europe.
Book Synopsis Chosen Peoples by : Christopher Tounsel
Download or read book Chosen Peoples written by Christopher Tounsel and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2021-03-22 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On July 9, 2011, South Sudan celebrated its independence as the world's newest nation, an occasion that the country's Christian leaders claimed had been foretold in the Book of Isaiah. The Bible provided a foundation through which the South Sudanese could distinguish themselves from the Arab and Muslim Sudanese to the north and understand themselves as a spiritual community now freed from their oppressors. Less than three years later, however, new conflicts emerged along ethnic lines within South Sudan, belying the liberation theology that had supposedly reached its climactic conclusion with independence. In Chosen Peoples, Christopher Tounsel investigates the centrality of Christian worldviews to the ideological construction of South Sudan and the inability of shared religion to prevent conflict. Exploring the creation of a colonial-era mission school to halt Islam's spread up the Nile, the centrality of biblical language in South Sudanese propaganda during the Second Civil War (1983--2005), and postindependence transformations of religious thought in the face of ethnic warfare, Tounsel highlights the potential and limitations of deploying race and Christian theology to unify South Sudan.
Book Synopsis The Root Causes of Sudan's Civil Wars by : Douglas Hamilton Johnson
Download or read book The Root Causes of Sudan's Civil Wars written by Douglas Hamilton Johnson and published by Boydell & Brewer Ltd. This book was released on 2011 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sudan's post-independence history has been dominated by political and civil strife. Most commentators have attributed the country's recurring civil war either to an age-old racial divide between Arabs and Africans, or to recent colonially constructed inequalities. This book attempts a more complex analysis, briefly examining the historical, political, economic and social factors which have contributed to periodic outbreaks of violence between the state and its peripheries. In tracing historical continuities, it outlines the essential differences between the modern Sudan's first civil war in the 1960s and the current war. It also looks at the series of minor civil wars generated by, and contained within, the major conflict, as well as the regional and international factors - including humanitarian aid - which have exacerbated civil violence. This introduction is aimed at students of North-East Africa, and of conflict and ethnicity. It should be useful for people in aid and international organizations who need a straightforward analytical survey which will help them assess the prospects for a lasting peace in Sudan. Douglas H. Johnson is an independent scholar and former international expert on the Abyei Boundaries Commission.

Download or read book LIBERATING SOUTH SUDAN ONE PATIENT AT A TIME written by Nhial T. Tutlam and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2013 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many people died so that South Sudan may be free. Except for the stories of those in the top echelons of the liberation struggle, the stories and important contributions of less known, equally worthy martyrs has not been told. This book tells the story of one of these remarkable people, Dr. Timothy Tutlam. Written from a son's perspective, the book narrates how a boy, who first left his native village in search of healthcare services for his ailing father, ended up becoming a physician providing medical care to his people in refugee camps and in the frontlines; his journey to join the first liberation movement; his small but important contributions to the struggle; his trials and tribulations; and his ultimate sacrifice while serving his people.
