  • Regaining Livelihoods for Pastoralist and Nomadic Communities in Sudan
    REGAINING LIVELIHOODS FOR PASTORALIST AND NOMADIC COMMUNITIES IN SUDAN West Kordofan State has been affected by the continuing war in South Kordofan, the Darfur conflict and the civil war in South Sudan. The secession of South Sudan worsened the predicament of nomads in the area, as movements to the country were blocked. As a result, animals find themselves concentrated in a narrow area with limited resources during the dry season. Diseases that are preventable by vaccination are still considered major threats to animal production. Taking into account the lack of veterinary services in the area for a number of years, which has led to the spread of dangerous transboundary animal diseases, West Kordofan is considered a serious focus for the spread of diseases, undermining Sudan’s role as an important livestock-exporting agent in the region. In this context, the project provided an opportunity to build the capacity of both veterinarians and veterinary institutions. ©FAO/Albert Gonzalez Farran WHAT DID THE PROJECT DO? KEY FACTS Animal health services were upgraded and major animal Contribution diseases controlled through the provision of vaccination and USD 500 000 treatment services, training of veterinarians and community animal health workers and the promotion of disease Duration surveillance and veterinary diagnostic capabilities in West October 2014 – September 2017 Kordofan State. Resource Partners FAO IMPACT Partners The training of veterinarians and community animal health Federal Ministry of Livestock, State workers, as well as the capacity development of the El Fula Ministry of Animal Resources and Veterinary Laboratory through the provision of modern Fisheries for West Kordofan state equipment and tools, will directly contribute to the project’s Beneficiaries sustainability in West Kordofan State.

Published by American Research Institute for Policy Development DOI: 10.15640/jgpc.v8n2a2 URL: http://=.doi.org/10.15640/jgpc.v8n2a2 The Issue of Oil and Disputed Areas in the Conflicts between Sudan and South Sudan Bithou M. Mayik1 & Erneo B. Ochi2 Abstract Utilization of oil resources and peaceful coexistence among communities bordering sisterly countries are imperative for sustainable development. The issue of oil and disputed areas in the conflicts between Sudan and South Sudan remain unabated. This paper sheds light on the causes, the socio-economic and political implications, and the possible strategies to resolve the conflicts over oil and borders between the two Sudans. Theories of social conflict, the cooperative, human needs as well as the conflict transformation and relevant literature were consulted. The major causes and implications of such conflicts in post-independent South Sudan were discussed. The paper reveals the consequential massive displacement of local inhabitants and loss of lives, reduced oil revenues, augmented political upheavals, and armed rebellions in the two Sudans. Seemingly, negotiations and litigations are some key strategies to resolve such devastating conflicts. The setting up of truths, political and reconciliation commission is highly needed to cease hostilities and resolve conflicts for sustainable socio-economic development of South Sudan and Sudan. Keywords: Conflicts, Agreements, Disagreements, Displacements, Disputes, Territories. 1. Introduction Oil is one of the key strategic esources incurring substantial economic benefits for sustainable development of the nations worldwide.
