  • 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”.

Toward seasonal grazing lands toward their home settlements. A lack of the late dry season, pastoralists tend to be highly concentrated information on cattle migration patterns impeded access of livesaving around scarce water sources in camps where open defecation assistance to many cattle camps and pastoralist communities.

The aim of the assessment was to understand the education situation in Kapoeta State, especially related to aspects of hygiene and sanitation, considering the recent outbreak of cholera that affected the region. In order to tackle this cholera crisis, AVSI is proposing a comprehensive response to this situation through a direct intervention in schools with a WASH programme that will respond to the immediate health threats that pupils are facing during learning hours due to the poor hygiene conditions of the schools. The strategy behind this intervention is to use schools as catalysts for behavioral change regarding cholera-prevention and treatment among the whole community of the area. The first step of this intervention will focus on providing the schools with the right tools for facing a potential cholera-outbreak in the establishments.

  • REPORT on the FACT FINDING MISSION to GREATER KAPOETA and BUDI, EASTERN EQUATORIA STATE 17Th-22Nd February, 2013
    REPORT ON THE FACT FINDING MISSION TO GREATER KAPOETA AND BUDI, EASTERN EQUATORIA STATE 17th-22nd February, 2013 Reported dated: 26th February 2013 A joint report of Relief Rehabilitation Commission, Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Disaster Management, Food Security and Livelihoods Cluster and Nutrition Cluster Report on the Fact Finding Mission to Greater Kapoeta and Budi Counties 17-22 February, 2013 Executive Summary A fact finding mission was deployed on 17-22 February to investigate concerns about a deteriorating food security and nutrition situation in which some hunger-related deaths were reported. The mission covered greater Kapoeta (Kapoeta East, North and South) and Budi. The fact finding mission confirmed some deaths had occurred in the assessed areas but the link to hunger as a cause was not obvious and could not be verified in the absence of medical reports. No further deaths had occurred since the alarm was raised which suggests that the deaths were highly localized and not particularly linked to the reported food security situation. However, the mission was concerned that all the deaths involved women and children. Household food availability has declined and households had increased consumption of wild food especially in Kapoeta East while food prices have increased by 30-40% and income generation is linked to sale of firewood and building materials. Livestock conditions are good but the main herd has already moved to the dry season grazing areas. With these indicators, the lean season will start earlier than expected because of the combined effects of weather-related shocks on harvest in 2012. The general health status appears to be normal but there is a dearth of health and nutrition services and existing health facilities are constrained by qualified medical personnel, equipment and supplies.
