Conclusion

Sudan, the largest country in Africa , was the first nation on the continent to gain its independence from the British colonial administration amidst a civil war. The root causes of the war can be traced to both foreign and internal political, economic, and social forces, which favored the North but adversely affected the South. It is therefore no surprise that these policies would sow the seeds of discord and hostility among the people of Southern Sudan, who were suspicious of and hostile towards the Muslim and Arabized people of the North. At the same time, Northerners, who had little knowledge of the South, viewed its inhabitants as backward in terms of civilization, culture, and religion. They felt they had a duty to spread the Islamic faith and bring the superior “Arab” civilization and culture to the region. It is this dichotomy between the North and South that brought so much devastation, death, and suffering to the South for seventeen years in the first civil war and another twenty-two years in the second.
