  • Murle History
    The History of Murle Migrations The Murle people live in southeastern Sudan and are proud to be Murle. They are proud of their language and customs. They also regard themselves as distinct from the people that live around them. At various times they have been at war with all of the surrounding tribes so they present a united front against what they regard as hostile neighbors. The people call themselves Murle and all other peoples are referred to as moden. The literal translation of this word is “enemy,” although it can also be translated as “strangers.” Even when the Murle are at peace with a given group of neighbors, they still refer to them as moden. The neighboring tribes also return the favor by referring to the Murle as the “enemy.” The Dinka people refer to the Murle as the Beir and the Anuak call them the Ajiba. These were the terms originally used in the early literature to refer to the Murle people. Only after direct contact by the British did their self-name become known and the term Murle is now generally accepted. The Murle are a relatively new ethnic group in Sudan, having immigrated into the region from Ethiopia. The language they speak is from the Surmic language family - languages spoken primarily in southwest Ethiopia. There are three other Surmic speaking people groups presently living in the Sudan: the Didinga, the Longarim and the Tenet. When I asked the Murle elders about their origins they always pointed to the east and said they originated in a place called Jen.

  • CONTEXT MAPPING for INTEGRATED URBAN DEVELOPMENT in NEPAL: a CASE STUDY of AATHBISKOT MUNCICIPALITY, RUKUM Sapkota, Mahendra10 Abstract
    CONTEXT MAPPING FOR INTEGRATED URBAN DEVELOPMENT IN NEPAL: A CASE STUDY OF AATHBISKOT MUNCICIPALITY, RUKUM Sapkota, Mahendra10 Abstract The world is undergoing the largest wave of urban growth in history, particularly since 1950s that accelerated further after 2000s. However, Nepal is experiencing a new political system of federalism, it is yet to be equipped with appropriate Acts and policies to foster the spirit of development and constitution at large. In this context, the present study sets a research question as of how a context mapping can be done before integrated urban planning of the municipalities. Methodologically, the study was conducted in Aathbiskot municipality of Rukum district. Involving both qualitative and qualitative techniques under the social constructivist epistemological position, the study was conducted on the basis of participatory approach through analytical methods, including SWOT analysis, Trend analysis, Ward analysis and Linkage analysis. The findings show that as an aspiring city, Aathbiskot Municipality has diverse prospects and sectors of development that would drive its future growth but identifying some lead sectors and potential development opportunity of the municipality based on its own strength and individuality would what make municipality grow better and prosper. The study strongly claims inferences for the homogeneity in the long-term vision setting, however, maintaining through heterogeneity in the specific plans and strategies for the different wards of the municipality. Keywords: Aathbiskot, Context mapping, Integrated urban development plan, Local governance, Urban planning Background The world is undergoing the largest wave of urban growth in history, particularly since 1950s that accelerated further after 2000s. As per the estimation of UN agencies, more than half of the world’s population now lives in towns and cities, and by 2030 this number will swell to about 5 billion.

  • Alternative Citizenship the Nuer Between Ethiopia and the Sudan ABORNE Workshop on Sudan’S Borders, April 2011 Dereje Feyissa
    Alternative citizenship The Nuer between Ethiopia and the Sudan ABORNE Workshop on Sudan’s Borders, April 2011 Dereje Feyissa Abstract A lot has been written about state borders as constraints to local populations who are often ‘artificially’ split into two and at times more national states (Asiwaju 1985; Kolossov 2005). The Nuer, like many other pastoral communities arbitrarily divided by a state border, have experienced the Ethio-Sudanese border as a constraint, in as much as they were cut off from wet season villages in the Sudan and dry season camps in Ethiopia. As recent literature on the border has shown, however, state borders function not only as constraints but also as opportunities (Nugent 2002), and even as ‘resources’ (Dereje and Hohene 2010). The paper examines how the Nuer have positively signified state border by tapping into - taking advantage of their cross-border settlements -fluctuating opportunity structures within the Ethiopian and Sudanese states through alternative citizenship. Nuer strategic action is reinforced by a flexible identity system within which border-crossing is a norm. Sudan's Southeastern frontier: The Toposa and their Neighbours (abstract) The Topòsa and some of their neighbours have long been among the groups in particular remoteness from the political and economic metabolism of the state system. Until recently, the borders of the Sudan with three other nations, Uganda, Kenya and Ethiopia, that touch on their area could be considered mere notions and lines on maps of another world. This situation has substantially changed since the 2nd Sudanese Civil War – and with it the meaning of terms like “their area”.
