After a decade of uneasy peace, the historic conflict between the
Northern Sudanese, who identify with their Middle Eastern
neighbors, and the Southern Sudanese, who are of African heritage,
erupted into violent conflict in 1983. This ferocious civil war,
with its Arab militias and widespread use of automatic weapons, has
devastated the populace. Nature has added to the miseries of war,
bringing drought and famine to the already battered victims of
violence. Although this regional calamity remains largely unknown
to the outside world, the death toll among the Southern Sudanese
far exceeds that in both Somalia or Bosnia. Over a million people
have either perished or been displaced.This chilling account of the
ravages of drought and civil war is based on a wealth of
documents?never made public?from Sudanese government sources,
private and foreign governmental aid agencies, research groups,
international media, and other organizations involved in famine
relief efforts. The authors graphically recount how the attempts of
the international agencies and humanitarian organzations to provide
food and medical relief have been thwarted by bureaucratic
infighting, corruption, greed, and ineptitude.This rich narrative
illustrates with great clarity the convoluted relationship that
relief agencies had with the Sudanese government as they tried to
negotiate the means of survival for the area's desperate
population. It is a sad tale of the tragic human consequences of
the failure of conflict resolution, of organizational
mismanagement, and of a government hostile toward its own people.
