Abstract
The paper provides a historical overview of Sudan, including its ethnic divisions between the north and south. The paper discusses the impact of the discovery of oil on the nation's economy and people and analyzes current and future trends. The paper looks at the hardships faced by the people of Sudan but shows how many of the problems experienced by this country throughout its turbulent history have been directly related to ethnicity rather than wealth.

Introduction
Historical Overview of Sudan
Review and Discussion
Current and Future Trends
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Sudan is a country in northern Africa with a population of around 40,000,000 people (Sudan 2). Following its independence from United Kingdom-Egyptian control in 1956, Sudan has experienced the devastation caused by incessant civil war, a crumbling infrastructure and the vagaries of climate that have caused widespread famine and poverty. Indeed, even the discovery of oil in Sudan was turned against the best interests of the people of Sudan to the benefit of a few elite, and the country remains one of the poorest in the world today. Despite these constraints to development, though, there have been some positive signs in recent years that things may be changing for the better in substantive ways, but virtually all observers suggest that much more remains to be done."

Abstract
This paper examines how meningitis presents a dangerous healthcare problem for Africa and Sudan, in particular, and how the political instability compounded by the poor economic situation has contributed to the inefficient and insufficient handling of the crisis. The paper looks at how Sudan faces a huge health care problem every year in controlling the disease and in the management of an outbreak. It also contends that given the enormity of the problem, only a combined and coordinated effort of the government, NGO's, and the health care sector can facilitate better management of the epidemic.

From the Paper
"Meningitis is an epidemic disease, which affects people all around the world. In the United States the disease has an incidence rate of around .01% of the population with roughly around 25,000 cases every year. Meningitis refers to the inflammation of the meningines, the membranes covering the spine and the brain, due to opportunistic bacterial or viral infections. In some rare instances meningitis is also manifest due to fungal and parasitic infections. In general, viral meningitis is more common and easily treated compared to bacterial meningitis, which is more rare and serious. As per the 200;lkkimm 2 WHO statistics, South East Asian countries were the worst affected with around 73,000 cases of reported death. [Wrongdiagnosis] In the African continent also meningitis continues to be a major disease, particularly in the region known as the meningitis belt extending from Gambia in the west to Sudan and Ethiopia in the east, with an estimated average infection of around 200,000 and a fatality rate exceeding 10% of the affected people.

U.N. and Other Actions to Date:
Aid to the Area

Long term Vision: What Would it be Like if Everything God Desires for the People of Darfur were to Blossom in the Next Twenty-Five Years?
From the Paper
"The Christian Mission should develop many partnerships, to ensure that it can be truly effective in the long term in this area. Suggested partners would be the UN World Food Program, the U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Doctors Without Borders, the U.S. Agency for International Development, Amnesty International, the International Crisis Group, and the World Health Organization. The Christian Mission can in fact learn from these partners, as many of them are already well aware of the extreme health and other problems in the area that need to be addressed. In addition, the Christian Mission should be aware of a rapidly growing movement advocating for humanitarian intervention in several countries. People and organizations that are part of this movement can be approached as sources of funding to help the Christian Mission achieve its goals in this region."

Abstract
This paper analyzes the causes of inequality, poverty, and economic stagnation in Sudan and assesses policy responses. This paper recognizes that for centuries Sudan was not a nation but a collection of small, independent kingdoms and principalities. Throughout Sudanese history, this internal fragmentation inevitably led to social, political, religious, and economic conflicts as each kingdom, tribe, and principality struggled for autonomy or sought to dominate other kingdoms, tribes, and principalities.
From the Paper
"In order to effectively analyze the causes of inequality, poverty, and economic stagnation in Sudan and assess policy responses, it must be recognized first of all that for centuries Sudan was not a nation but a collection of small, independent kingdoms and principalities. Throughout Sudanese history, this internal fragmentation inevitably led to social, political, religious, and economic conflicts as each kingdom, tribe, and principality struggled for autonomy or sought to dominate other kingdoms, tribes, and principalities. Historians agree that the coming of Islam in the seventh century changed the nature of ancient Sudanese society and culture, and led to a division of the country into north and south, which has had long-term social, economic, and political implications."

From the Paper
"Man has lived in the Sudan for at least nine million years and the valley of the Nile that wanders more than 4,000 miles from the lakes of Central Africa to the Mediterranean may be the cradle of civilization rather than the Euphrates. Almost four centuries before Christ the Ox-driven water wheel which still plays a vital role in the country's economy, was introduced to the
Sudan. At the same time came camels, brought with them by the Persians when Cambyses invaded Egypt in 525 BC. It is Africa's largest country with a wide diversity of ethnic and religious groups. Originally populated by peoples of African origin, it was gradually taken over by Arab traders from Egypt. They gave the country its name, Sudan, and brought in the - today - dominant religion, Islam. Later Sudan was part of the British Empire, administered by Egypt under the "Condominium" agreement until 1955."

Abstract
This essay presents an overview of the crisis that took place in Darfur, Sudan, in 2004 and critically examines the failure of the international community to respond. The essay further examines the history of international response to genocide, specifically the roles played by the United States and United Nations. The author argues for change in U.S. policy and U.N. structure and concludes that the international community still lacks the institutions, procedures, and political unity necessary to respond in a timely manner to keep such catastrophes from happening again.
From the Paper
"The Charter of the United Nations is not clear in regards to its authority in responding to human rights abuses and genocide. It ?reaffirm(s) faith in fundamental human rights? but does not do much to protect them, and Article 2.7 prohibits intervention ?in matters which are essentially within the jurisdiction of any State.? As a result there has been a long running argument in the international community between those who insist on a ?right to intervene? in and those who argue that the Security Council is prohibited from authorizing any action against sovereign States in regards to a matter which happens within their borders."

From the Paper
"This paper is a study of foreign policy relations between the United States and Sudan. With the end of the Cold War, the United States has struggled to redefine its international responsibilities, and this has been particularly problematic in Africa. Sudan, the largest country on the continent, offers an excellent example of many issues facing the United States in this part of the world. Sudan's leaders have changed international allegiances, encouraged civil war, battled and exacerbated large-scale famine, and manipulated their financial base as they have struggled for power within the region. The problem for the United States is to find a balance in dealing with governmental regimes that are under siege, while trying to help ease long-term crises of civil war and famine that such regimes often help create. The United States must satisfy its own national..."

Spirit Possession in Sudan, 2007.

Abstract
This paper describes the type of spirit possession called zar that is found among Sudanese women. It analyses the meanings of zar in Hofrifati culture in order to realize the positive potential of this movement. It then examines the ways that issues of socialization, psychotherapeutic adjustment and meaning are played out in relation to possession.
From the Paper
"Examining the implicit meanings of zar spirit possession in Hofriyati culture from a cultural perspective allows us to realize the positive potential of this movement. Not only is zar an outlet whereby Sudanese women can free themselves from the sanctions put on them within their culture, but also a vital form of socialization between women in the tribe whereby they are able to express emotion without any responsibility for their actions (Boddy, 1988). Where western psychoanalytic theories of spirit possession may portray it in a negative way, as an illness needing to be cured, a broader perspective allows us to see the healing potential of the zar (Boddy, 1994). Zar spirit possession can be beneficial for Sudanese women as it allows them an avenue for self- reflection, something they wouldn't otherwise have access to under the constrains of the moral obligations of their culture (Boddy, 1988)."

The paper examines the history of the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) which operates in the north of Uganda from bases in southern Sudan. It looks at the LRA's brutality through its kidnapping and enslaving of children and the efforts made by the Ugandan government to bring this group under control. The paper then briefly looks at the Alliance of Democratic Forces (ADF) which is made up of Ugandan opposition forces, supported by the government of Sudan. It shows how this group is responsible for terrorist bombings across the country.
From the Paper
"In January 2004 Ugandan Defense Minister Amama Mbabazi said that the government army had killed 928 Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) rebels between Jan. 1, 2003 and Jan. 16, 2004. Speaking at a monthly press briefing in Bombo, suburb of Kampala, Minister Mbabazi said 791 rebels were either captured by the army or surrendered during the same period in the "Operation Iron Fist" against the LRA rebels.

Abstract
This paper presents a discussion about the American intervention to stop slavery in Sudan. It discusses American interests from an outside standpoint and examines whether the American rescue efforts around the world are really for the betterment of the world or for power and monetary gain of the United States. It discusses the motivation behind American foreign aid in general, and specifically examines their actions in Sudan.
From the Paper
"Around the world, America is known for its willingness to jump into the fray in the name of freedom and human rights. If a nation?s people is having wrongs committed against it the United States is usually the first to send help, money, troops and any other assistance needed to restore the basic human freedoms that we believe are an inaliable right. When one looks things over from a purely informational standpoint it appears that America is the hero for human rights (Chaddock pp 2). However, if one peels off the top layer and examines the underpinnings of the issue one will find that America often champions the rights of those who can in turn help America with power, land advantage or money. America may not be as magnanimous as it tries to appear and it may be self serving need that drives it to stand up for others around the globe. Numbers of those seized and sold into slavery top 10,000 in some estimates (Chaddock pp 2). They are women and children as well as men and the atrocities committed against them are inhuman."
