About Sudan

Sudan is under constant Armed Conflicts since the independence from British Ruling in 1956. The first armed conflicts with the South Sudan spanned over 60 years and eventually lead to the independence of the South Sudan as new nation in 2011. Other regions of the Sudan continued to experience Armed conflicts in Darfur (Western Sudan), Nuba Mountain in South West and Blue Nile in South East. Many generations of Sudan people never experienced peace. The Sudanese war is often characterized as a fight between the central government expanding and dominating peoples of the periphery, raising allegations of marginalization. Roughly two million people died as a result of war, famine and disease caused by the conflict in South Sudan. Four million people in southern Sudan were displaced at least once (and normally repeatedly) during the war. The civilian death toll is one of the highest of any war since World War II and was marked by a large number of human rights violations. These include slavery and mass killings. In Darfur, roughly 300 thousands were killed and another 2.5 millions were displaced.
