Oil And Conflict In Sudan PDF Download

PAPERBACK ORIGINAL Sudan: Understanding the Oil-Rich Region of Abyei, is the fourth book from Akol Miyen Kuol. It is about the history of the Abyei conflict, the home to the Ngok Dinka, a sub-section of the South Sudan's largest ethnic group, the Dinka, but the region is under the control of the Sudanese government. Abyei is rich with oil and water; hence the Sudanese Arab Missiriyah nomads and neighbouring South Sudanese tribes take their cattle to the region for grazing and water during the dry season and spend a period between three and six months before they return to their respective countries. Akol wrote his fourth book about his native Abyei region to give South Sudanese and Sudanese, as well as the international community, a better understanding of the ongoing conflicts. He says the odds for the renewed armed conflicts between Sudan and South Sudan over Abyei are very high unless the international community takes urgent and drastic actions to determine its final status. The author urges his native Ngok people to fight relentlessly for their rights to save themselves, land, resources, environment, culture, values and language. Akol advocates diplomatic, political and non-violent revolution for the restoration of his homeland, Abyei, to South Sudan.
