Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Trails of Betrayals in South Sudan's Power Struggle by Gen. Stephen Buoy Rolnyang is first-hand account of Gen. Stephen Buoy Rolnyang in the liberation of South Sudan. Although the book begins with the authors childhood and covers in great detail the history of the Sudanese Civil War and the Sudan's Peoples Liberation Movement, this book for the most part provides the Generals own first-hand experiences in relation to the liberation. Essentially, this memoir is a token of appreciation from the author to his comrades and all the heroes that fought for the liberation movement in South Sudan, from the author's region of the Upper West Nile. The book is aptly divided into three parts each chronicling a different period of relevance for the author. The book begins with Gen. Stephen Buoy Rolnyang's giving us a thorough walkthrough of his lineage, childhood and upbringing in the Upper West Nile Region. This sets a tone and provides a rich background for the reader to understand the importance of historical, cultural and political elements that the author grew up with that would ultimately influence him as an adult and successful military leader. Hailing from the Bul-Nuer Tribe in the Upper West Nile region, Gen. Buoy details his early and formative years being raised by his maternal grandmother and later on his stepbrothers as he was orphaned at a young age. As the author progresses, it is evident that the values, traditions and practices of the Bul Nuer tribe played an important role in the author's life. He dedicates a large portion of this work, illustrating in great depth, the ceremonies, history, traditions, politics and militia and its relevance to the Sudanese Liberation Movement. In addition to the in-depth introduction regarding his ancestry, Gen. Buoy provides a detailed outline of the Sudanese Civil Wars, their outcomes, their victories and their failures. Detailing a comprehensive breakdown of the First Sudanese Civil War in 1955, leading up to the Liberation of South Sudan in 2013, the aftermath following the Liberation and the author's most recent experiences as of the year 2021. The main thesis of this book is the liberation of South Sudan, this book provides an intricate and robust review of the history of Sudan whilst perfectly incorporating tribal and cultural significances relevant to the Sudanese Civil Wars and the political instability that ultimately led to the liberation of South Sudan. Each part of the book is equally intriguing and demonstrates with ease the complex yet the riveting history of Sudan.

Book excerpt: South Sudan started as a dumping ground of thieves and misfits who yearned to enrich themselves a lot quicker by becoming millionaires overnight. The veterans of a two-decade civil war everyone once highly regarded have become nothing but tormentors and desperados embroiled in a power struggle, resource competitions, and anything of value. They have totally abandoned the core of their rebellion and the SPLA's doctrine of "taking the town to the people." Many of them selflessly once fought so hard to liberate their people from the tyranny of Islamic fundamentalism and northern's imposed Arabization.

Download or read book Leadership Nation building and War in South Sudan written by Sonja Theron and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2022-06-02 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For over fifty years, the people of South Sudan fought for the right to be citizens of an independent nation-state. When this goal was finally achieved, however, it quickly became evident that the South Sudanese nation was not nearly as cohesive as hoped. The result has been a catastrophic civil war. Spanning South Sudan's nation-building struggle from its inception up until the current civil war, this book challenges the notion that the continued violence of this process can be reduced to either identity difference or the fault of individual leaders. Rather, it uses the leadership process to understand the complex progressions and relationships that have characterised South Sudan's nation-building trajectory. The book argues that the core driving force behind the current conflict in South Sudan can be found not in ethnicity, the “resource curse” or power struggle, but in a set of destructive relationships that have fueled violence and oppression in the country for the better part of a century. This cyclical leadership process has entrapped the country in an increasingly destructive and contradictory nation-building process that continues to spiral and disintegrate.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The intricate power dynamics at play between President Kiir and Vice President Riek Machar created a pernicious environment where inter-tribal tensions were skillfully exploited. The escalation of this volatile situation was exacerbated by the leadership's inability to adeptly navigate disagreements and address the diverse needs of the population. While tribalism may indeed have played a role, it is fundamentally a symptom of a deeper, overarching issue: the absence of capable leadership and a prioritization of personal power over the nation's security and progress.

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.

Download or read book Epistemologies of the South written by Boaventura de Sousa Santos and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-11-17 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the concept of 'cognitive injustice': the failure to recognise the different ways of knowing by which people across the globe run their lives and provide meaning to their existence. Boaventura de Sousa Santos shows why global social justice is not possible without global cognitive justice. Santos argues that Western domination has profoundly marginalised knowledge and wisdom that had been in existence in the global South. She contends that today it is imperative to recover and valorize the epistemological diversity of the world. Epistemologies of the South outlines a new kind of bottom-up cosmopolitanism, in which conviviality, solidarity and life triumph against the logic of market-ridden greed and individualism.

Book excerpt: The New York Times bestselling author of Mrs. Lincoln’s Dressmaker and Canary Girls reveals Mary Todd Lincoln’s very public social and political contest with Kate Chase Sprague in this astute and lively novel of the politics of state—set against the backdrop of Civil War Era Washington. Beautiful, intelligent, regal, and entrancing, young Kate Chase Sprague stepped into the role of establishing her thrice-widowed father, Salmon P. Chase, in Washington society as a Lincoln cabinet member and as a future presidential candidate. For her efforts, The Washington Star declared her “the most brilliant woman of her day. None outshone her.” None, that is, but Mary Todd Lincoln. Though Mrs. Lincoln and her young rival held much in common—political acumen, love of country, and a resolute determination to help the men they loved achieve greatness—they could never be friends, for the success of one could come only at the expense of the other...

Download or read book Hero of the Empire written by Candice Millard and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2016-09-20 with total page 403 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the bestselling author of Destiny of the Republic, this thrilling biographical account of the life and legacy of Wintson Churchill is a "nail-biter and top-notch character study rolled into one" (The New York Times). At the age of twenty-four, Winston Churchill was utterly convinced it was his destiny to become prime minister of England. He arrived in South Africa in 1899, valet and crates of vintage wine in tow, to cover the brutal colonial war the British were fighting with Boer rebels and jumpstart his political career. But just two weeks later, Churchill was taken prisoner. Remarkably, he pulled off a daring escape—traversing hundreds of miles of enemy territory, alone, with nothing but a crumpled wad of cash, four slabs of chocolate, and his wits to guide him. Bestselling author Candice Millard spins an epic story of bravery, savagery, and chance encounters with a cast of historical characters—including Rudyard Kipling, Lord Kitchener, and Mohandas Gandhi—with whom Churchill would later share the world stage. But Hero of the Empire is more than an extraordinary adventure story, for the lessons Churchill took from the Boer War would profoundly affect twentieth century history.
