Further development of metallurgy contributes to both material wealth and artistic production, and Arab reports depict the Ghana empire as the "Land of Gold." As well as stimulating trade, Islam Abu Bakr, military leader of the Almoravids , an Islamic Berber sect, recaptures Audaghost from the Ghana empire. Repeated Almoravid incursions, aimed at seizing control of the trans-Saharan gold trade , disrupt Ghana's dominance of the trade routes. Kumbi Saleh, an important mercantile and political center of the Ghana empire, is besieged by Almoravids.

    Extractions: Northeast Sudan, called Nubia in ancient times, was colonized by Egypt about 2000 B.C. and was ruled by the Cush kingdom from the 8th cent. B.C. to the 4th cent A.D. Most of Nubia was converted to Coptic Christianity in the 6th cent., but by the 15th cent. Islam prevailed. In 1821 the north was conquered by Egypt, but a revolt by the nationalist Mahdi in 1881 forced an Egyptian withdrawal. In the 1890s an Anglo-Egyptian force under Herbert Kitchener destroyed the theocratic Mahdist state, and in 1899 most of Sudan came under the joint rule of Egypt and Britain (with Britain exercising actual control). Independence was achieved in 1956. In 1955 the animist southerners, fearing that the new nation would be dominated by the Muslim north, began a civil war that lasted 17 years. In 1972 Pres. Muhammad Gaafar al-Nimeiry ended the war by granting the south a measure of autonomy. However, his imposition of Islamic law on the entire country in 1983 reopened the conflict, and an estimated 1.5 million have died since. Nimeiry was deposed by a military coup in 1986.

    Extractions: Friday 30th August 2002 The Southern Women Group for Peace in her continuous endeavour to mobilize support for the Machakos Protocol and the Sudan peace process, held a second one-day workshop on Friday August 30th 2002 under the theme: "Regional Influence in Sudan Peace Process." The workshop reviewed and reflected on the relationship and influence of the region on the Sudan peace process and came to know that of all the countries in the region, Egypt had a long history of contact with the Sudan, the chronology of which follows: 1. Egypt destroyed the independent Muslim Kingdoms of Funj and Fur in the process of occupying the Sudan since 1820. 2. By 1841, Egypt in its policy of expansionism, continued southwards capturing land from Kondokoro, Rejaf up to Nimule at the borders with Uganda and westwards to Bahr El Ghazal with the intention of acquiring wealth and enslaving Southern people to be used in their armies, farms and as domestic servants. 3. During the Mahdia (1880-1898) the Egyptian interest in the Sudan continued to be the search for feathers, gold and slaves in exchange for recognition of the Mahdia Revolution.

    Extractions: Sudan Sudan was a collection of small, independent kingdoms and principalities from the beginning of the Christian era until 1820-21, when Egypt conquered and unified the northern portion of the country. Historically, the pestilential swamps of the Suud discouraged expansion into the deeper south of the country. Although Egypt claimed all of the present Sudan during most of the 19th century, it was unable to establish effective control over southern Sudan, which remained an area of fragmented tribes subject to frequent attacks by slave raiders. In 1881, a religious leader named Muhammad ibn Abdalla proclaimed himself the Mahdi, or the “expected one,” and began a religious crusade to unify the tribes in western and central Sudan. His followers took on the name “Ansars” (the followers) which they continue to use today and are associated with the single largest political grouping, the Umma Party, led by the descendant of the Mahdi, Sadiq al Mahdi. Taking advantage of conditions resulting from Ottoman-Egyptian exploitation and maladministration, the Mahdi led a nationalist revolt culminating in the fall of Khartoum in 1885. The Mahdi died shortly thereafter, but his state survived until overwhelmed by an Ango-Egyptian force under Lord Kitchener in 1898. Sudan was proclaimed a condominium in 1899 under British-Egyptian administration. While maintaining the appearance of joint administration, the British Empire formulated policies, and supplied most of the top administrators.

    Extractions: Sudan Sudan Section > The Society and its Environment The Nile is the link that runs through Sudan, and influences the lives of Sudan's people, even though many of them farm and herd far from the Nile or its two main tributaries, the Blue Nile and the White Nile. Not only do nomads come to the river to water their herds and cultivators to drain off its waters for their fields, but the Nile facilitates trade, administration, and urbanization. Consequently, the confluence of the Blue Nile and the White Nile became the administrative center of a vast hinterland because the area commanded the river, its commerce, and its urban society. This location enabled the urban elites to control the scattered and often isolated population of the interior while enjoying access to the peoples of the outside world. The Sudanese of the south are of African origin. Islam has made only modest inroads among these followers of traditional religions and of Christianity, which was spread in the twentieth century by European missionaries, and Arabic has not replaced the diverse languages of the south. The differences between north and south have usually engendered hostility, a clash of cultures that in the last 150 years has led to seemingly endless violence. The strong regional and cultural differences have inhibited nation building and have caused the civil war in the south that has raged since independence, except for a period of peace between 1972 and 1983. The distrust between Sudanese of the north and those of the southwhether elite or peasantshas deepened with the long years of hostilities. And the cost of war has drained valuable national resources at the expense of health, education, and welfare in both regions.

    Extractions: Sudan, the largest country in Africa, was ruled jointly by Britain and Egypt from 1899 until achieving independence as a parliamentary republic at the beginning of 1956. Since then Sudan has been ruled by a succession of unstable civilian and military governments. The country has been in a state of civil war for many years, and human rights abuses are widespread. In the 1990s government forces have repeatedly launched aerial bombardments on civilian targets in southern Sudan. War and crop failure has resulted in starvation Since 1983 over 1.2m people have been killed, and the civil war has devastated the Sudanese economy. It costs the government an estimated $1.5m a day. Peace talks have broken down repeatedly A peace agreement in 1972 ended the first civil war after independence, and made some movement towards federalism. However, tensions between the authorities in Khartoum and those in the Southern region, and divisions between different groups of southerners, led to further outbreaks of violence in the early 1980s.

The underlying principle is that modalities and mechanisms of implementation of a culture of peace or conflict resolution are to be reinforced at three levels: decision-makers, intellectuals, grassroots organizations and communities. CPN's purpose is threefold: To develop a common understanding and vision for the culture of peace networks in the Horn of Africa and the Great Lakes Region. To promote mutually empowering relationships and strategies for action. To provide an information databank, act as an information clearing house for the network and to develop a directory and website. The first CPN meeting took place in Nairobi on 12 April 1999 and comprised 20 local NGOs involved in various activities in Kenya ranging from conflict resolution to peace education, the promotion of inter-religious dialogue and gender issues.

    Extractions: APFO began its operations in 1993 as a Working Group on the Sudan conflict under the umbrella of AACC. In 1994 APFO teamed up with the International Resource Group to host the Regional co-ordinating bureau in Nairobi. At that time it was therefore serving two functions, as the Sudan working Group and IRG Regional Coordinating Bureau . Its work was rapidly expanding to include both the Great Lakes and the Horn of Africa. This was an obvious expansion due to the conflict interlinkages in the region. APFO's mandate now includes Ethiopia, Eritrea, Djibouti, Uganda, Sudan, Kenya, Rwanda, Burundi and the Democratic party of Congo. To cater for this expanded area of operation APFO was temporarily hosted by the Center for African Study until 1999 when it was formally registered

The brilliance of the city was such that it still shines in the imagination after three centuries like a star which, though dead, continues to send its light toward us. Such was its splendor that in spite of its many vicissitudes after the death of Askia, the vitality of Timbuctoo is not extinguished. Askia immediately embarked on the consolidation of the empire left by Sunni Ali Ber. More astute and farsighted than Sunni Ali Ber, he identified Islam's potential to usurp traditional Songhai religion. Askia decidedly courted his Muslim subjects, particularly in Timbuktu, where the clerics and scholars who fled from Sunni Ali Ber had returned. Askia orchestrated a program of expansion and consolidation, ultimately extending the empire from Taghaza in the north to the borders of Yatenga in the south; and from Air in the northeast to Futa Toro in Senegambia. Askia was also setting the stage for the Askia dynasty, systematically removing the surviving members of the preceding dynasties.

    Extractions: Self-Determination Conflict Profile Sudan By Jim Lobe OVsudan.pdf History Arabs, mostly from Egypt, gradually achieved dominance over northern and parts of central Sudan between the 13th and the mid-19th centuries. The Suez Canal's opening in 1869 resulted in increased British intervention, followed by a successful Islamic uprising in the 1880s. In 1898-9, a joint British-Egyptian force re-occupied Sudan and established a British-dominated condominium over it. Southern groups, notably the Dinka, the Nuer, and the Azande resisted condominium rule until 1930, separating Sudan into North and South, where authorities banned Arabic and encouraged Christian missionaries and the use of English. Sudan was re-integrated after World War Two and Britain declared it independent in 1956, despite southern opposition. North-South conflict broke out immediately, intensifying in1958 after a military coup brought to power a government whose avowed aim was Islamization. It was overthrown in a popular revolt in 1964, ushering in a period of civilian rule ended by another military coup led by Jaafar al-Numeiry in 1969. In 1972, he reached a ceasefire and peace accord with the southern Anya-Nya that guaranteed the South a degree of regional autonomy. In 1983, civil war between Khartoum and the South (Sudan People's Liberation Army, or SPLA, under Col. John Garang) broke out again after Numeiry, working with the Muslim Brotherhood, imposed Shari'a, or Islamic law.

(Photo: Richard Brennan/IRC) Summary Background Sudan, the largest country in Africa, has been devastated by civil war since its independence in 1956. The conflict, unbroken since 1983, is primarily between the government in Khartoum, which has largely assumed an Arab, Islamic identity, and the peoples of the south and periphery, who share a sense of African culture. However, the war has also involved internecine conflict among rebel factions, government-aligned militias and tribal groups. The complex cultural factors fueling the conflict—including religion, ethnicity, political ambitions, and colonial history— are further complicated by the struggle for control over the country’s vast natural resources, especially oil, which are located primarily in the south. It is estimated that over 1.5 million people have died and 3-4 million have been displaced as a result of the conflict. Although negotiations between the various rebel groups and the government are in process, the likelihood of attaining peace in the near future is slim.
