- A complete and concise guide to the complex history of the region, including the creation of the independent South Sudan in 2011
- Natsios was US envoy to Sudan from 2006 to 2009, and the USAID representative to Sudan for the years prior
- Covers the sweep of Sudan's history, from civil wars in Darfur through to the recent division of Sudan into two separate countries: Northern Sudan and Southern Sudan
For thirty years Sudan has been a country in crisis, wracked by near-constant warfare between the north and the south. But on July 9, 2011, South Sudan became an independent nation. As Sudan once again finds itself the focus of international attention, former special envoy to Sudan and director of USAID Andrew Natsios provides a timely introduction to the country at this pivotal moment in its history. Focusing on the events of the last 25 years, Natsios sheds light on the origins of the conflict between northern and southern Sudan and the complicated
politics of this volatile nation. He gives readers a first-hand view of Sudan's past as well as an honest appraisal of its future. In the wake of South Sudan's independence, Natsios explores the tensions that remain on both sides. Issues of citizenship, security, oil management, and wealth-sharing all remain unresolved. Human rights issues, particularly surrounding the ongoing violence in Darfur, likewise still clamor for solutions. Informative and accessible, this book introduces readers to the most central issues facing Sudan as it stands on the brink of historic change.Readership: This book will appeal to anyone interested in the current political situation in Sudan, as well as general readers interested in
nation building, human rights, international relations, world history, politics, and culture.
