Creating devastation and calling it Islam: the war for the Nuba, Sudan

Article Abstract:

This article examines the war in Sudan led by the rebel Sudan People's Liberation Army and the impact it has had on the Nuba people. The author argues the war, which has been erroneously interpreted as a religious war in which Christians are fighting an Islamic government, is really about greed and identity, and the religiously diverse Nuba people have been drawn into the conflict and repressed by the Islamic government.

The report of the International Commission of Inquiry on Darfur: The question of genocide

Article Abstract:

The conflict in Darfur Sudan in 2003 between the rebels and the government is analyzed to determine whether it was simply insurgency warfare or a concealed genocide carried out by Arab Muslims against Christian-African population. The International Commission of Inquiry studied the conflict and concluded that a governmental policy to commit genocide had not been formed.

Seeking sanctions

Article Abstract:

The Security Council adopted a resolution in July 2004 that has given Sudan one month to disarm and arrest leaders of the Janjaweed or possibly face United Nations sanctions. A credible threat of sanctions may be more productive than the hasty enforcement of symbolic measures that could undermine the credibility of the UN.
