This outstanding book illustrates eloquently that illiteracy, poverty and totalitarian rule in Sudan contributed gravely in fuelling community conflicts in the country. Tribalism and ethnic conflicts has become the main feature of the Sudanese people and especially in southern Sudan. The formation of government and appointments in the key positions are based on tribal lines which breeds nepotism and corruption in the government institutions. The lack of ideal political parties in south, made the conviction of each person to its tribe as the base for empowerment and fighting always for tribe's share instead of political party and nation. This created a golden opportunity to Khartoum government to divide the Sudanese people on tribal grounds and turn them against each other like the southern militias and Janjaweed to achieve its political goals. The book discusses and analyzes the predicament of Sudan's conflicts and exploitation of religion to achieve political objectives and its imposition on others. The book is also calling on the marginalized people of Sudan to unite in order to achieve their liberty and realize their vision of new Sudan which has been initiated by late Dr. John Garang de Mabior whose message is for all regardless of color, gender, religion and ethnicity. The book draws the attention of the Sudan People's Liberation Movement (SPLM) led-Government of Southern Sudan to the dilemma of southern Sudan construction and the anxiety of Southern Sudanese people after the slain of Dr. John Garang de Mabior. The book is meant for all interested in Sudan/Africa's affairs to provide a unique and inclusive assessment of Sudan's complicated issues.
