  • Sudan: Interaction Between International and National Judicial Responses to the Mass Atrocities in Darfur
    SUDAN: INTERACTION BETWEEN INTERNATIONAL AND NATIONAL JUDICIAL RESPONSES TO THE MASS ATROCITIES IN DARFUR BY SIGALL HOROVITZ DOMAC/19, APRIL 2013 ABOUT DOMAC THE DOMAC PROJECT focuses on the actual interaction between national and international courts involved in prosecuting individuals in mass atrocity situations. It explores what impact international procedures have on prosecution rates before national courts, their sentencing policies, award of reparations and procedural legal standards. It comprehensively examines the problems presented by the limited response of the international community to mass atrocity situations, and offers methods to improve coordination of national and international proceedings and better utilization of national courts, inter alia, through greater formal and informal avenues of cooperation, interaction and resource sharing between national and international courts. THE DOMAC PROJECT is a research program funded under the Seventh Framework Programme for EU Research (FP7) under grant agreement no. 217589. The DOMAC project is funded under the Socio-economic sciences and Humanities Programme for the duration of three years starting 1st February 2008.

    Andrea Behrends: Neither nomads versus settlers nor ethnic conflicts - The long history of changing alliances and politicized groups on the Chad/Sudan border. in: Richard Rottenburg (Hg.): Nomadic-sedentary relations and failing state institutions in Darfur and Kordofan (Sudan). Halle 2008 (Orientwissenschaftliche Hefte 26; Mitteilungen des SFB „Differenz und Integration“ 12) 25–70. © Andrea Behrends 2008 Neither nomads versus settlers nor ethnic conflicts − The long history of changing alliances and politicized groups on the Chad/Sudan border Andrea Behrends1 Abstract The border region between Chad and Sudan affects and is affected by a wide in- ternational field, from neighboring Sudan and Libya, to Egypt, France, and the United States. As of March 2007, the war in Sudan’s western Darfur region on the border with Chad has been raging for more than four years with over 200,000 Sudanese citizens living in Chadian refugee camps and more than two million displaced in Darfur. This article discusses the often proclaimed notion of the con- flict being rooted either in recurrent disputes between nomads and settlers or in ethnic racism between so-called ‘Arabs’ and ‘Black Africans’. Instead of following these notions, a historical pattern of allying and re-allying border groups is brought forward. This pattern will be shown to have been instrumentalized by different actors, aggravating the conflict and causing yet unprecedented forms of ‘tribal hatred’ in the region. The paper begins by giving an account of different voices concerning the relations between nomads and settlers in Darfur and the wider border region. It will, then, attempt to disentangle the complex historical connections as well as the intertwined relations between the present governments of Chad, Sudan, and others, in order to develop a frame for understanding the actors’ perspectives in recent violent developments in the border region.

    EUROPEAN ACADEMIC RESEARCH Vol. VIII, Issue 6/ September 2020 Impact Factor: 3.4546 (UIF) ISSN 2286-4822 DRJI Value: 5.9 (B+) www.euacademic.org Language and Ethnic Groups in Sudan AMIR KHABIR SATTI HAMED Assistant Professor Elnaser Technical College Omdurman Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research Republic of Sudan Abstract This study aims at investigating language and ethnic groups in the Sudan. In this study the researcher has made a review of historical background of the Sudan and its people. The Sudan is a multilingual country. It has more than 300 local vernacular languages. It has a diversity of cultures. The Sudan has more than 300 indigenous tribes. They are Afro- Arabian Nilo- Saharan tribes and black African tribes. But Arabic language is the National Language and the language of education. There are the Nilo-Saharan tribes in the North of the Sudan within the blank of the Nile. In the East of the Sudan mainly in the Red Sea State, there are the tribes of: Beni Amer, Hadndawa, Amharinga, and Tigrai. Each of these tribes has its own local language. Then we have the Blue Nile State and the Nuba mountain tribes. Each of these tribes has its own local language. And we have North State Kordofan and South Kordofan State. The later is inhabited by many ethnic groups tribes. Each of these tribes has its own language. Thus we have the greater Darfur States. Each of these state has many ethnic groups. Each of these groups has its own language. Hence the case study of this paper is language and ethnic groups in the Sudan.
