It is a particular rub for me in this case as this is a subject that I have explored, studied, understood it pros and cons across

The Valley of the Kings (Arabicوادي الملوك‎ Wādī al Mulūk), less often called the Valley of the Gates of the Kings (Arabicوادي ابواب الملوك‎ Wādī Abwāb al Mulūk), is a valley in Egypt where, for a period of nearly 500 years from the 16th to 11th century BC, tombs were constructed for the Pharaohs and powerful nobles of the New Kingdom (the Eighteenth to the Twentieth Dynasties of Ancient Egypt). The valley stands on the west bank of the Nile, opposite Thebes (modern Luxor), within the heart

For most people in the world, to be photographed carrying a bible is harmless and cannot be elevated to a noticeable event.  No so in Al-Bashir’s Sudan.  This is the story of Hawa Abdalla, an ordinary Darfuri woman activist, working in the IDP camp of Abushouk, Darfur, where she is employed as a civilian member of UNAMID peace-keeping authority.  In May 8th, 11, the infamous government Sudan Media Centre (SMC), otherwise known as Sudan’s intelligence mouth, published

SUDAN: Abyei under threat of invasion

Namibia’s relations with South Sudan go back to the period of armed
struggle. We do not have the all the information, but we do know that
the Late Dr John Garang and Namibia’s Founding Father Sam Nujoma, were
friends, probably due to their shared experience of liberation
struggle. We also know that Namibia’s SWAPO government sent weapons to
the Sudan People’s Liberation Army (SPLA) and that one consignment was
seized on landing in Mombasa by the Kenyan Government of Arap Moi. The
next consignment reach

Sudanese Future Perspectives, Going Forward

THE NATIONAL QUESTION IN SUDAN SEEN FROM PAN-AFRICAN PERSPECTIVE, AS A JUSTIFICATION FOR A UNITED NEW SUDAN

We write as war rages in Darfur and in the shadow of the Southern  Sudan Referendum and the impending split of  The Sudan, as we knew it. This erstwhile largest country in Africa, now has only months left of life, after which it’s land mass will be juridically sundered, part of it becoming the new nation-state of Southern Sudan. In principle, no one welcomes the further Balkanisation of o

THE SOUTHERN SUDAN REFERENDUM,
9 -15 January 2011

There are historical roots linking north and south  Sudan. The Nile
River ties the parties  together for better or for worse. Music and
food are shared by the two people. Commonalities created a union
government for all Sudanese in the north and south. Some say that the
commonalities  far outreach constitutional differences  and if these
are not respected in future the fault will be laid at the door of
politicians, not the people.

DECLARE South Sudan Independence Now!

Anyar Ngang Alith:I have been contemplating about writing this topic for a long time. But something keeps me from writing it. One of the days I went to bed at 12:00 midnight and I dreamt in my sleep that South Sudan had declared unilateral independence, and it had been recognized by a dozen nations in the region and internationally.So when I awoke there was no such news, and I guess my brain was screwed.Now what?

Dear Kwasi Greetings Trusting this finds you in good spirits. Few Africans, outside of east Africa have much understanding of the Sudan issues. I met last week the Special Advisor to the Namibia Foreign Minister/President, to discuss Sudan. I noted that his was the standard OAU/AU view, which is determined by the geo-political considerations of east Africa. He knew little, nor cared much in my view, about the situation of Darfurians, yet he partook in the Abuja Talks on peace for Darfur. It

BF BANKIE:There were two main migrations out of Africa. There was the first exodus of the original man ( Homo sapiens sapiens ), who was black and who settled all over the world. The next migration out of Africa was forced by slavery. Although the western Diaspora in the Americas, the Caribbean and Europe is known, the eastern Diaspora, which preceded the western Diaspora by a millennium, is not generally known. The African eastern Diaspora is found wherever Africans were taken in Caucasia and T

BF BANKIE:The problems that the Borderlands raise, being that area of Africa stretching from Sudan on the Red Sea to Mauritania on the Atlantic Ocean, date back thousands of years. That area provides a sharper, historically based, holistic definition of the African personality than that hitherto offered by the Black consciousness movements in the Americas and southern Africa .The last population census conducted in Sudan was in 1983.

Many find it difficult to accept the root causes of the last phase of the protracted war in South Sudan , which ran from 1955 to 1972 and from 1983 to 2005. In order to establish the causes, the book of Lt Gen Joseph Lagu (Rtd), entitled ‘Sudan – Odyssey through a state – From ruin to hope’ is drawn upon. The key to understanding Afro-Arab relations, past and present and the relevance of South Sudan is found in the reasons for the conflict.Lagu, who is alive and well, spending a good part of his

Is something fundamentally wrong with Africans or could there be another explanation? Trying to find answers to these questions, let’s see what historians and social scientists believe are the roots of the conflict in Sudan, an African country where peace lasted for little over a decade since 1956.Like in all other parts of the world, there was always some form of conflict in th
