You made have heard of the recent conflicts in Ukraine and Palestine making headlines and receiving ongoing coverage in the media, but did you know there has been an ongoing civil war in Sudan since April 2023? In fact, this war has caused major humanitarian and economic damage with rival factions vying for power.
4ZZZ's Toni Pankaluic spoke with Dr Noah Bassil, an Associate Professor of Global Politics at Macquarie University to learn about the current conflict as well as the historical context which has shaped Sudan today.
For a deep dive...
Noah has studied Sudan extensively and wrote a book titled 'The Post-Colonial State and Civil War in Sudan: The Origins of Conflict in Darfur', where he explored the Darfur humanitarian crisis and broader issue of state failure.
The following book is also recommended by Noah as a good starting point for understanding the wider problems affecting most of Africa... Basil Davidson's 'The Black Man's Burden: Africa and the Curse of the Nation State'.
The Conversation has articles examining the current conflict... 'Sudan's army has been battling to keep Darfur's El Fasher...' or 'Sudan: civil war stretches into a second year...' for you to dig through.
Toni Pankaluic is a Journalist and contributor to Brisbane Line
