Abstract:	This collective volume results from conversations the editors had in the summer of 1989, immediately after the Sudanese civilian government of Sadiq al-Mahdi was ousted by a military coup. The book provides basic information about the civil war in the Sudan, the issues at stake, the course of events up until June 1989, and special features of the war that had received insufficiently detailed coverage by the international media.

Daly; The politics of Southern self-government 1972-83, by Elias Nyamlell Wakoson; The underdevelopment of the Southern Sudan since independence, by B.
