The War in Sudan's
Year: 2015
Type: preprint
Abstract: The independence of Sudan in 2011 created a South along the Sudan-South Sudan border. The areas of Abyei, Nuba Mountains and Blue Nile had also participated in the 22 year civil war, but the CPA did not deal adequately with the causes of their involvement in the war and the means to address their grievances. In 2011 a new war was started in Sudan's new when the Khartoum government occupied Abyei and launched attacks on the SPLM-North in the other two areas. Attempts at mediation have failed, but the SPLM-North has been able to link up with other opposition groups, including some of the Darfur armed opposition; thus expanding the theatre of war. This paper examines the reasons behind the failure of international mediation and outlines the progress of the war.
