Persistent Tension in Sudan's East, Nuba Mountains, and Nubia
Tuesday, July 28, 2009
2:30 PM - 4:00 PM
While the world has concentrated on the civil wars in Darfur and South Sudan, there are simmering political conflict and resource challenges that must be addressed in the east, the Nuba Mountains, and Nubia. In eastern Sudan, political tensions persist despite the signing of a peace agreement in 2006. Many in the Nuba Mountains, an SPLA-stronghold in northern Sudan, have seen a build up of arms and recently experienced a spate of intercommunal fighting. Finally, clashes between government forces and local militia groups in Nubia have taken place in protests over the building of dams in the region, which they fear will cause large-scale displacement. How will these situations evolve as Sudan moves closer to the elections and referendum? What opportunities exist to reduce the tension and resolve the conflicts?
The event will feature the following speakers: Richard Lobban, Rhode Island College; Nuraddin Abdulmannan, Nubia Project; Omar Hammad Gimi, Voices of Sudan; and Dorina Bekoe, Moderator, United States Institute of Peace.
This event will take place in the Second Floor Conference Room of the United States Institute of Peace, 1200 17th Street, NW, Suite 200, Washington, D.C. 20036.
