Preface Competition over natural resources, especially land, has become an issue of major concern and cause of conflict among the pastoral and farming populations of the Sahel and the Horn of Africa. Sudan, where pastoralists still constitute more than 20 percent of the population, is no exception. Raids and skirmishes among pastoral communities in rural Sudan have escalated over the recent years.

  • ENERGY COUNTRY REVIEW Sudan
    ENERGY COUNTRY REVIEW Sudan keyfactsenergy.com KEYFACTS Energy Country Review Sudan Most of Sudan's and South Sudan's proved reserves of oil and natural gas are located in the Muglad and Melut Basins, which extend into both countries. Natural gas associated with oil production is flared or reinjected into wells to improve oil output rates. Neither country currently produces or consumes dry natural gas. In Sudan, the Ministry of Finance and National Economy (MOFNE) regulates domestic refining operations and oil imports. The Sudanese Petroleum Corporation (SPC), an arm of the Ministry of Petroleum, is responsible for exploration, production, and distribution of crude oil and petroleum products in accordance with regulations set by the MOFNE. The SPC purchases crude oil at a subsidized cost from MOFNE and the China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC). The Sudan National Petroleum Corporation (Sudapet) is the national oil company in Sudan. History Sudan (the Republic of the Sudan) is bordered by Egypt (north), the Red Sea, Eritrea, and Ethiopia (east), South Sudan (south), the Central African Republic (southwest), Chad (west) and Libya (northwest). People lived in the Nile valley over 10,000 years ago. Rule by Egypt was replaced by the Nubian Kingdom of Kush in 1700 BC, persisting until 400 AD when Sudan became an outpost of the Byzantine empire. During the 16th century the Funj people, migrating from the south, dominated until 1821 when Egypt, under the Ottomans, Country Key Facts Official name: Republic of the Sudan Capital: Khartoum Population: 42,089,084 (2019) Area: 1.86 million square kilometers Form of government: Presidential Democratic Republic Language: Arabic, English Religion Sunni Muslim, small Christian minority Currency: Sudanese pound Calling code: +249 KEYFACTS Energy Country Review Sudan invaded.

  • Review and Updated Checklist of Freshwater Fishes of Iran: Taxonomy, Distribution and Conservation Status

Since the work of J.J. Heckel (1846-1849), the number of valid species has increased significantly and the systematic status of many of the species has changed, and reorganization and updating of the published information has become essential. Here we take the opportunity to provide a new and updated checklist of freshwater fishes of Iran based on literature and taxon occurrence data obtained from natural history and new fish collections. This article lists 288 species in 107 genera, 28 families, 22 orders and 3 classes reported from different Iranian basins. However, presence of 23 reported species in Iranian waters needs confirmation by specimens.

  • Measuring Up
    Annual review 2016 The value we bring to media Measuring MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR There are many positive testimonials to the work of the foundation over the years from the thousands of alumni who have benefited from our training. The most heartening compliment, repeated often, is that a Thomson Foundation course has been “a life-changing experience.” In an age, however, when funders want a more quantifiable impact, it is gratifying to have detailed external evidence of our achievements. Such is the case in Sudan (pages 10-13) where, over a four-year period, we helped to improve the quality of reporting of 700 journalists from print, radio and TV. An independent evaluation, led by a respected media development expert during 2016, showed that 98 per cent of participants felt the training had given them tangible benefits, including helping their career development. The evaluation also proved that a long-running training programme had helped to address systemic problems in a difficult regime, such as giving journalists the skills to minimise self-censorship and achieve international Measuring standards of reporting. Measuring the effectiveness of media development and journalism training courses has long been a contentious our impact issue. Sudan shows it is easier to do over the long term. As our digital training platform develops (pages 38-40), it will also be possible to measure the impact of a training in 2016 course in the short term. Our interactive programmes have been designed, and technology platform chosen, specifically so that real-time performance data for each user can be made easily available and progress measured.

  • Language Typology and Syntactic Description
    1 Coordination Martin Haspelmath 0 Introduction The term coordination refers to syntactic constructions in which two or more units of the same type are combined into a larger unit and still have the same semantic relations with other surrounding elements. The units may be words (e.g. verbs (1a)), phrases (e.g. noun phrases (1b)), subordinate clauses (e.g. (1c)) or full sentences (e.g. (1d)). (1) a. My husband supports and adores Juventus Turin b. My uncle or your in-laws or the neighbours will come to visit us c. I realize that you were right and that I was mistaken d. The Pope dissolved the Jesuit order, and all the Indian missions were abandoned All languages appear to possess coordination constructions (or coordinate con- structions) of some kind, but there is a lot of cross-linguistic variation. Individual languages may possess a wealth of different coordinate constructions that relate to each other in complex ways. It is the purpose of this chapter to introduce and discuss a wide range of conceptual distinctions that are useful for describing the cross-linguistic and language-internal variation. This entails the use of a large number of technical terms (printed in boldface on first occurrence), each of which is explained and illustrated as it is introduced. Terminological issues are discussed further in an appendix. The particle or affix that serves to link the units of a coordinate construction is called the coordinator. In (1) and in the other numbered examples in this chap- ter, the coordinator is printed in boldface. By far the most frequently occurring coordinator is ‘and’ (i.e.

  • Tectonic Inversion and Petroleum System Implications in the Rifts Of
    Tectonic Inversion and Petroleum System Implications in the Rifts of Central Africa Marian Jenner Warren Jenner GeoConsulting, Suite 208, 1235 17th Ave SW, Calgary, Alberta, Canada, T2T 0C2 [email protected] Summary The rift system of western and central Africa (Fig. 1) provides an opportunity to explore a spectrum of relationships between initial tectonic extension and later compressional inversion. Several seismic interpretation examples provide excellent illustrations of the use of basic geometric principles to distinguish even slight inversion from original extensional “rollover” anticlines. Other examples illustrate how geometries traditionally interpreted as positive “flower” structures in areas of known transpression/ strike slip are revealed as inversion structures when examined critically. The examples also highlight the degree of compressional inversion as a function in part of the orientation of compressional stress with respect to original rift structures. Finally, much of the rift system contains recent or current hydrocarbon exploration and production, providing insights into the implications of inversion for hydrocarbon risk and prospectivity.

Dr. Klaus Schlichte 2. Prof. Joel Migdal Tag der mündlichen Prüfung: 18.07.2006 INTRODUCTION You have to know that there are two kinds of captain praised. One is those who have done great things with an army ordered by its own natural discipline, as were the greater part of Roman citizens and others who have guided armies. These have had no other trouble than to keep them good and see to guiding them securely. The other is those who not only have had to overcome the enemy, but, before they arrive at that, have been necessitated to make their army good and well ordered. These without doubt merit much more praise… Niccolò Machiavelli, The Art of War (2003, 161) INTRODUCTION Abstract This thesis provides an analysis of the organizational politics of state supporting armed groups, and demonstrates how group cohesion and institutionalization impact on the patterns of violence witnessed within civil wars. Using an historical comparative method, strategies of leadership control are examined in the processes of organizational evolution of the Popular Defence Forces, an Islamist Nationalist militia, and the allied Lebanese Forces, a Christian Nationalist militia. The first group was a centrally coordinated network of irregular forces which fielded ill-disciplined and semi-autonomous military units, and was responsible for severe war crimes.
