Divided by History: Roots of Sudanese Conflict

Publisher Description

Do you wonder how the past affects today's violent conflict?

Tragic turmoil in Sudan and South Sudan reminds us how fragile peace can be.

Sudanese civil wars were not ended by formation of a new state. Violence has continued in South Sudan and we see today that the North is by no means peaceful.

Current politics matter. Yet the origins of today's violence stretch back into past centuries. And much of Sudanese history has been about intervention and domination by foreigners.

By telling the stories of some of these outsiders, Divided by History digs out the historical roots of Sudanese conflicts.

Along the way, we meet
The 2,300 BC pioneer who braved the dangers of Egypt's 'Wild South'The ambitious Albanian 'Turk' who connived his way to becoming ruler of Egypt and SudanThe devout Christian who was sent to relieve a besieged city - and gave his lifeThe meticulous general whose superior weaponry proved an unstoppable forceThe adventurers, soldiers and even Olympic oarsmen who ruled a vast land while still young
And we recognise the difficulty of escaping from our past and the importance of understanding it.
