Description

Sudan’s brand new history has been consumed by revolution and civil war. The country attracted international attention within the 1990s as a breeding ground of Islamist terrorism and recently tensions between the prosperous centre and the periphery, between north and south, have exploded in Darfur. In his recent book, Robert Collins, a frequent visitor and veteran scholar of the region, traces Sudan’s history across two hundred years to show how some of the tragedies of these days have been planted in its past. The story begins with the conquest of Muhammad ‘Ali in 1821, and moves throughout the Anglo-Egyptian condominium to independence in 1956. It then specializes in Sudanese rule within the post-independence years when the fragile democracy established by the British collapsed under sectarian strife. It’s these religious and ethnic divides, the writer contends, along with failed leadership, which have prolonged and sustained the conflict in Sudan.
