Could You Imagine
That Poverty,
Slavery and Great
Civil Wars Were
Happening in
Sudan?

4. What Problems Have Sudan Had To Face?
Sudan used to be under British rule from
1899 to 1955 – but in 1956
(as Sudan became independent)
pressure grew.
The country had to be ruled by a ‘make-
shift’ government,
which made the country very diverse.

5. What Problems Have Sudan Had To Face?
Only in 1962 was the country in a
civil way (in the Southern region)
after the government was
overthrown by general Abbud.

6. What Problems Have Sudan Had To Face?
Then in 1978 oil was found in Sudan –
this led to another civil war between
North Sudan and the Sudan People’s
Liberation Movement (SPLM).
Between 1988 and 1993 there is
unstable ruling power and conflict
between Egypt and Sudan.

7. What Problems Have Sudan Had To Face?
Then in 1998 USA launched an air
attack on Sudan. On a pharmacy
in Khartoum, alleging that it was
making materials for chemical
weapons.

8. What Problems Have Sudan Had To Face?
In 1999 Sudan started to export oil but
from 2000 – 20001 the country remained in
civil war. In February of 2003 rebels in
western region of Darfur rise up against
the government, claiming that they are
being neglected.

9. What Problems Have Sudan Had To Face?
The violence in Darfur is reported to be
brutal and violent. Some black Darfuri
survivors move to safe neighbouring
countries like Chad (into rescue homes)
but get sick and the rescue homes get
overcrowded. There is still NO peace in
Darfur and Sudan.

10. What Problems Have Sudan Had To Face?
To the present day there is still no
stability in Sudan , although the war in
Darfur is reported to be over – they still
have not recovered. They hope to be
stable in the South of Sudan from 2011.

11. The End Of War? – What Solutions Are Up For Grabs In Sudan?
After a civil war and
genocide a country will
need to build up their
confidence, harver
respect from citizens,
boost food levels, fix –
up land and gain
money.
Sudan has an $8
billion, six year
reconstructive plan,
called the ‘Framework
of Sustained Peace,
Development and
Poverty Education in
Sudan’.
The reconstructive
plan is mainly funded
from Sudan’s oil
profits. This money
should go towards
basic services: clean
water, health etc…
The government of
Sudan could try to
build-up education in
the local villages so
that people know how
THEY could help!

12. Is there hope for Sudan? – My opinion…
Personally I do think that there is hope for Sudan –
although it may take a lot of time. The solution of the
‘Framework for Sustained Peace, Development and
Poverty Eradication in Sudan’ should be a huge
success – but they need to think hard about where the
money will come from. Although it has been agreed
that the money should come from their oil profits they
really need to think about how they are going to sell it.
This is a problem that if they would’ve thought about
earlier, they would not have had as many wars and be
in as much poverty. At the end of the day hope lies in
how far they are willing to go to build up their
independence and stability.
