This book deals with the conflict between Northern and Southern
Sudan over the Abeyi region and other border areas. This area has
historically been a model of peaceful coexistence and cooperation
but since its independence it has become a point of violent
confrontation. Frontiers of Unity provides an essential background
to the complexities of the conflict, looking at the factors behind
it and calling for the resolution of Africa's longest running
dispute. First written in 1972, after the agreement that ended the
war in Sudan, the original text has been supplemented by additions
and modifications to update its relevance to the current situation
in Southern Sudan. In 1983, the continuing dispute in Abyei led to
the resumption of hostilities and the eventual escalation into a
full-fledged armed struggle under the leadership of the SPLM/A,
which continues today. Without resolving the cause of Abyei and the
other border areas of the Nuba and Southern Blue Nile, no
sustainable peace between the North and South is possible. This
important historical document will be of great relevance to
scholars of African-Arab relations, conflict and peace studies and
nation building.
