South Sudan Questions and Answers
geography - answer South Sudan is bordered by Central African Republic,
Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, Kenya, Sudan,
government - answer Republic. South Sudan gained independence from Sudan on
July 9, 2011
History of religion - answer Britain and Egypt ruled the country in conjunction as
Anglo-Egyptian Sudan. In the early 20th century, Christian missionaries converted a
large segment of the population and introduced English to the region. The result was a
clearly defined line between the Arab north and the black African animists and
Christians in the south.
history of the gov. feud - answer Egypt and Britain ruled Sudan until 1953, when
Anglo-Egyptian Sudan was granted Sudan self-government. In 1955, army officers in
the south mutinied, sparking a civil war between the north and south. Southerners
accused the government, based in the north, of trying to force Islamic and Arab culture
on the south. In addition, the south said the government reneged on promises to grant
the south more autonomy through a federal system of government. Independence was
proclaimed on Jan. 1, 1956, and the civil war dragged on until the 1972 signing of the
Addis Ababa Agreement. About 500,000 people died in the war. Under the accord, the
Southern Sudan Autonomous Region was formed
SPLA - answer War broke out again in 1983 when President Gaafar Mohamed
Nimeiri abrogated the treaty and declared all of Sudan a Muslim state, ruled by shariah,
or Islamic law. In response, southern rebels formed the Sudan People's Liberation Army
(SPLA) and fought the government for more than two decades. Government troops
unleashed vicious massacres against civilians and entire villages. The government also
provoked internecine violence between tribes and ethnic groups. A cease-fire was
declared between the Sudanese government and the SPLA in July 2002. During peace
talks, the government agreed to a power-sharing government for six years, to be
followed by a referendum on self-determination for the south. Fighting on both sides
continued throughout the peace negotiations.
peace accord / John garang - answer On Jan. 9, 2005, after three years of
negotiations, a peace deal was reached between the southern rebels, led by John
Garang of the SPLA, and the Khartoum government, ending Africa's longest-running
civil war. Under the deal, roughly half of Sudan's oil wealth was given to the south, as
well as nearly complete autonomy and the right to secede after six years. But just two
weeks after Garang was sworn in as first vice president as part of the power-sharing
agreement, he was killed in a helicopter crash during bad weather. Rioting erupted in
Khartoum, killing nearly 100. Garang's deputy, Salva Kiir, was quickly sworn in as the
new vice president, and both north and south vowed that the peace agreement would
hold.
