sudan

sudan
'politically unstable'---the conclusion by LP.
and the recent civil war in Darfur region is seen 'one of the worst nightmares in decades'. Autonomy? u have to beg from the dicator muslim government in the north.
nothing distinguish happened in the history till 1881,when French ruled Egypt. Sudanese revolted,and in 1956,got its independence. but it never stages as a unity.revolution,rebel,autonomy,peace deal...these words fill the history.
it seems that the confict in sudan is rather a religion one.thought oil was discovered in the south in 1987 and there are some agreements between goverments and Liberation party on the field of revenue and job opportunity,still,civil war seemed unadvoidable after the president imposed the islamic law on the whole sudan,including the non-muslim majority(anitimists and christians) in 1983.finally,it's peremptoriness provocated US. US launched missile attack,under the name of 'suspectly making chemical weapons'. Since then, UN became the backbone among peacemakers.a lot of sudanese went to America to study and work, mainly supported by the church. they are called 'lost sons of sudan'. a lot of them never went back home for more than ten years and some of them 'can't remember their parents looks'....the cease-fire agreement was reached in 2002 in Kenya officially,but still, sudanese suffer from endless regional conficts.the Darfur crisis killed more than 200,000. human rights watch reported as 'genocide'.
international donations help a lot for its recovery.but sudan rejected UN resolution calling and expelled its delegator in 2006.
the latest news is----Bush announced a new sanction against sudan. probably under the pressure of Christian majority publicy party.
