This book was released on 2022-08-24 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Anglo-Egyptian Agreement of January 1899 established the Sudan as a condominium. In his own words, the author of the Agreement, Lord Cromer, conceded that he created for the Sudan a 'status hitherto unknown to the laws of Europe'. To compound the anomalous status of the Sudan, the co-domini maintained diametrically opposed views on the ultimate destiny of the Sudan. Britain adopted a policy of developing the Sudan independently of Egypt and thereafter remained firmly committed to the right of its peoples to self-determination after a period of full internal self-government. Whereas the successive Egyptian Governments in the monarchial era vehemently asserted that the right of self-determination would not apply to the Sudan because it was an integral part of Egypt. Not unexpected, the Sudanese political movement since its inception in the mid-forties of the last century was split along the lines of the positions held by the co-domini regarding the future of the Sudan: complete independence or some form of union with Egypt. With the advent in July 1952 of a new revolutionary regime in Egypt, the deadlock over the Sudan question was resolved. This regime should indeed be credited for the recognition of the right of the Sudanese to self-determination. But without thereby forsaking the principle of the Unity of the Nile Valley. Under a 1953 Anglo-Egyptian Agreement, the Sudanese would exercise the right of self-determination on the elapse of a 3-year period of self-government at the close of which, the Sudanese would have to choose either a link with Egypt, in any form, or complete independence. Egypt conceived that by the amalgamation of the array of Sudanese parties calling for different levels of union with Egypt, the option of a link with Egypt would prevail. The National Unionist Party (NUP) thus came into being. Unfortunately for Egypt, the NUP soon changed course and adopted a pro-independence policy. Afterwards it became evident, that Britain completely outmaneuvered Egypt by overriding the entire self-determination process stipulated in the 1953 Agreement and entrusting it to the Sudanese Parliament. The desire for independence was then unanimous. Unlike other colonial territories, the path of the Sudan to independence was complex and uncertain. The reason being its unique condominium status. The co-domini, Britain and Egypt, and the Sudanese themselves, maintained divergent views on the ultimate destiny of the country: complete independence or union with Egypt. International participation was subsequently required to supervise Sudan's self-government and self-determination under the 1953 Anglo-Egyptian Agreement. However, events took a different turn when the Sudanese desire for complete independence became unanimous. Seizing upon that, Britain took the initiative to skillfully override the set procedure for self-determination.
Download or read book Historical Dictionary of the Sudan written by Robert S. Kramer and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 2013-03-22 with total page 622 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Republic of the Sudan was long the largest country in Africa and, according to the general consensus, also one of the least successful in many ways. This was not entirely its fault since it lay along the fault line between Muslim and Christian Africa and between the Nile Valley civilizations and African Sudanic cultures. This partly explains the long and bloody warfare waged by the Southerners to achieve independence, which they did in July 2011. So this hefty book actually covers not one but two states. This fourth edition of the Historical Dictionary of the Sudan does so, first, through a lengthy and detailed chronology tracing its relatively few successes and numerous failures. The introductory essay does an admirable job of putting it all in perspective. But the most informative part is the dictionary, with now over 700 entries for this fourth edition. They deal with important personalities, politics, the economy, society, culture, religion and inevitably the civil war. There are also appendixes and an extensive bibliography.
Download or read book Global Security Watch Sudan written by Richard A. Lobban Jr. and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2010-09-02 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an overview of contemporary issues in Sudan, Africa's largest nation, examining the country's history and current scene to help readers develop a deeper understanding of how much Sudan matters in today's world. With deep connections to the Sahel and savanna to the west, the African world to the south, the Horn of Africa to the east, and the Middle East to the north, Sudan is important strategically, legally, geopolitically, and militarily—but too often overlooked, or underestimated. Sudan, the country of residence of Osama bin Laden for six years, has played, and will continue to play, a significant role in worldwide security matters. An analysis of the causes, resolutions, and implications of the ongoing Sudanese conflicts (including the genocide in Darfur), this book is essential reading for policymakers, researchers, and students alike. This book considers Sudan's historical foundations, examining how the agendas of countries to the south, east, and north have influenced Sudan's people and government. The author also explains the origins and context of the Darfur conflict, laying out possible steps toward a resolution. Questions concerning Sudanese oil—where is it? how much is there? to whom does it belong?—help focus any discussion of Sudan's emerging importance in the contemporary world. Other issues—such as the influence of Islamism or the Sudanese activities of the Arab League, China, or the African Union—underline the uncertainties that confront the people of Sudan today.
Download or read book Class and Power in Sudan written by Tim Niblock and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 1987-08-01 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the attention of the industrialized world focused on the political, economic, and social strife of Africa, Tim Niblock travels to Sudan for a first-hand investigation of the socio-economic structure of that continents largest country. His findings hold significant implications for the wider context of Africa, the Arab countries, and the Third World. His is a systematic and comprehensive study of Sudanese politics. A country with immense economic potential, possessing extensive tracts of cultivable but currently uncultivated land, Sudan could emerge as a major source of food for the Arab world. Yet it is threatened by famine while attempts at development are frustrated by civil war and political disarray. Niblock examines the political, economic, and social factors that have shaped the countrys development. The fate of Sudan will be critical to the political stability of North-East Africa and the Red Sea area, and the Sudanese experience is instructive for underdeveloped countries as a whole.

Download or read book Contested Sudan written by Ibrahim Elnur and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2009-01-13 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since gaining independence in 1956, Sudan has endured a troubled history, including the longest civil war in African history in Southern Sudan and more recent conflicts such as the humanitarian crisis in Darfur. This book explores this history of ensuing conflict, examining why Sudan failed to sustain a successful modern post-colonial state. The book goes on to consider in detail the various attempts to end Sudan’s conflicts and initiate political and economic reconstruction, including the failure which followed the Addis Ababa agreement of 1982 and the more recent efforts following the Nivasha agreement of 2005 which ended the civil war in the south. It critically examines how reconstruction has been envisioned and the role of the various major players in the process: including donors, NGOs, ex-combatants and the central state authority. It argues that reconstruction can only be successful if it takes into account the fundamental and irreversible transformations of society engendered by war and conflict, which in the case of Sudan includes the massive rural to urban population flows experienced during the years of warfare. It compares possible future scenarios for Sudan, and considers how the obstacles to successful post-conflict reconstruction might best be overcome. Overall, this book will not only be of interest to scholars of Sudan and regional specialists, but to all social scientists interested in the dynamics of post-conflict reconstruction and state-building.

Download or read book Imperial Sudan written by M. W. Daly and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2003-12-11 with total page 494 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Imperial Sudan completes a study of the formative colonial period during which Britain and Egypt ruled the country. The previous volume, the acclaimed Empire on the Nile: The Anglo-Egyptian Sudan, 1898-1934, appeared in 1986. The current book takes the narrative to independence in 1956 and thus, with Empire, constitutes the first comprehensive survey of the political and economic history of the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan. Dr Daly examines the structure of the colonial regime, its role in Anglo-Egyptian relations, and the development of Sudanese nationalist politics during the inter-war years. He surveys economic and social developments, including government finance and development policy, transport and communications, agricultural production, and social services. He reveals the Sudan's important role in the Second World War, when the Sudan Defence Force held back Italian invasion. The complicated path to self-government and self-determination, which culminated in independence in 1956, is explained in great detail. The book ends with the transfer of power, and the author reflects on the legacy of the Condominium.

Download or read book Bounds of Blackness written by Christopher Tounsel and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2024-06-15 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bounds of Blackness explores the history of Black America's intellectual and cultural engagement with the modern state of Sudan. Ancient Sudan occupies a central place in the Black American imaginary as an exemplar of Black glory, pride, and civilization, while contemporary Sudan, often categorized as part of "Arab Africa" rather than "Black Africa," is often sidelined and overlooked. In this pathbreaking book, Christopher Tounsel unpacks the vacillating approaches of Black Americans to the Sudanese state and its multiethnic populace through periods defined by colonialism, postcolonial civil wars, genocide in Darfur, and South Sudanese independence. By exploring the work of African American intellectuals, diplomats, organizations, and media outlets, Tounsel shows how this transnational relationship reflects the robust yet capricious terms of racial consciousness in the African Diaspora.
