People think having Donald Trump as president is tragic but have they ever thought about all the tragic things that happened in the past. Slavery. Word War I. World War II. People tortured. Many killed. Guns fired. Families separated. Genocide. The Sudanese civil wars were both a bad tragic time for Sudan, however, these events differ in how they started, one was because of the government and the southern rebels and the other was because of the underlying cause of conflict in the autonomy. Shots fired. People Dead. The first Sudanese civil war was a tragic time for everyone. 17 years of fighting. Genocide. People lost. Many things happened during this time. Peace agreements signed for south autonomy. Children and women used as slaves. War led by southern separatist.“With the Comprehensive Peace Agreement signed and its implementation under way, the First Vice-President of the Sudan called on the international community to support efforts aimed at reconstruction and development, so that the people of the Sudan could enjoy the peace dividend.”(peace agreement signed) The government concedes a measure of autonomy for southern sudan peace agreement signed.

The leaders from both side try to resolve the dispute by accepting a ruling from the arbitration court placing the major Heglig oil field in the north. In December 2009, leaders of the North and the South reach a…

As I read through the article, I saw that there was a lot of fighting and conflict between South Sudan and North Sudan. To start off we have their economy. As South Sudan is now separated that means that they now have their independence. Which is a good thing, although with that, their previous peace accord made in 2005, had expired. That peace accord had a huge impact on their economy, it stated that they got 50% of the earnings from their oil. And with that their economy was mainly based on…

In 1983, after a decade-long silence in the countries extensive civil war among north and South Sudan, conflict broke out again (CARE, 2016).

This therefore led to the historic vote with over 98 percent of the South Sudanese population voting to separate from Sudan therefore creating the Republic of South Sudan an independent state on the 9th of July 2011 (BBC, 2011).

The Country Sudan became its own independent country in 1956. Sudan was separated into a Northern region and a Southern region. The Sudanese had their first civil war in 1955, which ended in 1972 when an agreement called the Addis Ababa Agreement was reached between the Government of Sudan and the Southern Sudan Liberation Movement.

The war lasted until 1972, when it was ended with the signing of the Addis Ababa Agreement. This contract granted more political power to the south of the country and gave the Abyei region the right to hold a popular vote to decide whether or not they would join Southern Sudan. In 1983, the second Sudanese Civil War began, when the government attempted to introduce Sharia law and denied Abyei the right to a popular vote, which had been promised in the Addis Ababa Agreement . Fighting broke out…
