  • Lost Boys, Found Church: Dinka Refugees and Religious Change in Sudan's Second Civil War Sudan's Second Civil War, Which Be
    Lost Boys, Found Church: Dinka refugees and religious change in Sudan’s second civil war Sudan’s second civil war, which began in 1983 and ended in 2005, transformed society in southern Sudan. A key factor in this transformation was the widespread displacement the war brought about. Some southern Sudanese sought refuge in remote communities within the country or in government-controlled cities such as Juba or Khartoum. But a major stream of displacement was across international borders. By 1987, there were hundreds of thousands of southern Sudanese living in an archipelago of camps in southwestern Ethiopia. When the Ethiopian government was overthrown in 1991, the focus of refugee life shifted to new camps in Kenya, Uganda, and Sudan. In this, Sudan’s civil war was unexceptional. The conflicts that have formed and deformed African societies in recent generations have reliably resulted in both internal and external displacement. During Sudan’s first civil war in the 1960s, many southern Sudanese took refuge in Uganda. In the 1970s and early 1980s, the relationship reversed: Ugandans fleeing violence in their own country were living in southern Sudan. By the early 1990s, the relationship reversed yet again as southern Sudanese again sought safety in northern Uganda. The African continent has consistently been among the top producers of refugees in the world, who have been the focus of academic study in a range of disciplines. The experience of displacement in sub-Saharan Africa has coincided with the rapid growth of Christianity in the region. The future history of the church, it is said, will be written outside its historic heartlands in the Euro-Atlantic world and in no place more fully than in Africa.

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by K-State Research Exchange LOST AND FOUND: DIFFERENT INTEGRATION PATTERNS OF THE SUDANESE LOST BOYS LIVING IN KANSAS CITY AREA AFTER RESETTLEMENT. by DANVAS OGETO MABEYA B.A., United States International University-Africa, 1997 M.A., United States International University-Africa, 2001 M.A., Kansas State University, 2004 AN ABSTRACT OF A DISSERTATION submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Sociology, Anthropology and Social Work College of Arts and Sciences KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2011 Abstract The United States has resettled unaccompanied minors before. In the 1960s and 1970s, minors from Indochina were resettled in the United States. In the 1970s, the U.S accepted 14,000 unaccompanied minors from Cuba through Operation Peter Pan. Many of these Cuban minors, aged five to eighteen, were sent to the United States by parents fearing their children would be indoctrinated in communist schools. In the case of these minors, they arrived in the United States with the consent of their still-living family members. In contrast, about 3,500 Sudanese Lost Boys were resettled in the United States in 2000, and more recently in 2010, 53 “lost children” from Haiti were brought to the United States following a devastating earthquake. This study investigated the integration and assimilation patterns of the Sudanese Lost Boys in the Kansas City area with the purpose of understanding the sociological impact on these Boys from their own perspective. As opposed to previous studies done on these Boys in Kansas and other areas in the United States, the present study used interview-based research and analyzed data using both qualitative and quantitative research methodologies.

Video MEDIA SPOTLIGHT Cultural Differences Exploring culture and identity in the film "God Grew Tired of Us" For the complete videos with media resources, visit: http://education.nationalgeographic.com/media/cultural-differences/ PROGRAM The Lost Boys of Sudan are a group of Dinka youth who fled civil war in their native country, spent a decade growing up in a Kenyan refugee camp, and were eventually resettled in the United States. The Dinka are the largest ethnic group in southern Sudan. In the United States, the Lost Boys faced many challenges while adapting to their new lives and trying to maintain their cultural identities as Dinka. This clip is from the documentary filme "God Grew Tired of Us," which captures this journey, exploring the challenges and opportunities experienced by the Lost Boys. QUESTIONS Before traveling to the United States, what about American life worried the Lost Boys? The Lost Boys were worried about new experiences, such as showers, apartments, electricity, and the custom of only having one wife. After their arrival in the United States, what did the Lost Boys learn or notice that was new to them? Food comes ready-to-eat in packages and is sometimes not recognizable, trash does not go out the window, and people are unfriendly and unapproachable. After spending several months in Pittsburgh, why were the Lost Boys no longer allowed to travel in groups? Local merchants felt intimidated by the boys visiting their stores in large numbers.

Discussion Guide | Lost Boys of Sudan Season 17 Letter from the Filmmakers SAN FRANCISCO, 2004 Dear Viewer, From the moment we learned of the “Lost Boys,” their story gripped us. Their background alone is an epic in itself. Orphaned by a civil war, thousands of young boys fled their homeland. In their escape, they managed to survive enemy gunfire, rivers of crocodiles, and extreme malnutrition. They spent most of their childhood in African refugee camps, waiting for a peace that never came. In 2000, the “Lost Boys’” already incredible story took another dramatic turn, as nearly four thousand of these young men were declared high-priority refugees and were to be resettled all across America. As we thought about what they had been through and the magnitude of the transition that lay After surviving a harrowing trek across hundreds of miles of desert, an estimated eleven before them, we knew this was a story thousand "Lost Boys" found the protection of the U.N. They crossed the Sudan border into that had to be told. Kenya and were taken to Kakuma refugee camp, where they spent the next nine years waiting We soon met with a group of “Lost Boys” for an end to their country's Civil War. who had been resettled close to our Photo: B.

  • The Derg-SPLM/A Cooperation: an Aspect of Ethio-Sudan Proxy Wars
    The Derg-SPLM/A Cooperation: An Aspect of Ethio-Sudan Proxy Wars Regassa Bayissa∗ Abstract The warm and friendly Ethio-Sudan diplomatic relations that followed Sudan’s independence in 1956 and the long standing frontier trade between the two countries have been severely damaged by the outbreak of civil wars in southern Sudan in 1955 as well as in Eritrea in 1962. As the civil wars intensified in both countries, the influx of refugees and insurgents across their common border took place. Internal political and socio-economic problems in Ethiopia and the Sudan, together with super-power rivalries in the Horn brought about periods of increasing hostilities between the two countries. On a tit for tat basis, both the Imperial and military governments of Ethiopia and the successive governments of the Sudan came to encourage and assist cross-border guerrilla forces from either side. Thus, animosity rather than cooperation characterized relations between the Sudan and Ethiopia until the fall of the Derg in 1991. Keywords: Derg, Ethio-sudan relations, SPLM/A, proxy wars Introduction The Upper Nile and Jonglei regions of Southern Sudan bordering Gambella and the Gambella region itself were intensively affected by the wars between the governments of the Sudan and the Anyanya I (the southern Sudan Guerilla group in the first civil war 1955- 1972), the SPLA (Sudan People’s Liberation Army of the second civil war 1983-2005), the Lou-Jikany conflict (1993-1994), the armed conflicts following the splits within the SPLM/A and the South Sudan Independence Movement Army (SSIM/A) 1991-2005). The Sudan governments claimed that Ethiopia was supporting the South Sudan guerrillas struggling to secede from the north while the governments of Ethiopia accused successive Sudanese governments of material and moral support to the Eritrean secessionist movements.
