Description
Sudan: The Failure and Division of an African State The situation in Sudan has progressively deteriorated over the past two decades, with the country ranking second on the Failed States Index. A war in Darfur has claimed hundreds of thousands of deaths, and President Bashir has been indicted by the International Criminal Court. This book provides an in-depth account of Sudan's descent into failure, exploring the complex relationship between the country and the wider world. Richard Cockett, the Africa editor of the Economist, draws on interviews with key players to explain how and why Sudan has disintegrated. He examines the role of the United States and Britain in the Darfur conflict, as well as the efforts of human-rights activists and others to bring attention to the crisis and drive change. Cockett's analysis sheds light on the factors that have contributed to Sudan's failure, and what lessons can be learned from this complex and often tragic case.
