World Council of Churches Abstract This study examines the impact of change Agents on southern °١٠ Sudanese history. The Southern Region lies South of latitude North and extends as far as Kajo-kaji and Nimule on Uganda '٤٥ -١٨٩٨ south. The case study covers the period of °٤ border latitude The agents of change are those governing and administering .١٩٧٣ bodies or governments that had assumed power and used their impact (influence) and tried to impose their own systems of governance on the indigenous inhabitants of the Southern Sudan, such as Nilotic, Nilo-Hamitic, and Sudanic tribes. The agents of change include also the explorers who gave information on the south and aroused the interests of their respective governments to acquire territories. The term also alludes to the slave traders, the Turco-Egyptian, the Mahdist, the Condominium and the National Governments. Indisputably, the agents of change within the condominium and the Sudanese governments thereafter have affected the history of the Southern Sudan because they have imposed themselves on the local population without the latter being asked to accept or reject such rule. The main objectives of the Research Plan are:- ♦ To gather and collect all relevant data or information related to research project or thesis. ♦ To examine all the literature related to the development of the hypothesis (i.e. the impact of change ) ♦ To discuss positive and negative impacts of change agents on southern Sudan. ♦ To evaluate the impact of agents of change on the southern tribes. ♦ To study on a few tribes in the southern Sudan because of their significance in relation to their contacts with the outside world. Would they have been chosen all, writing on them needs an independent record. Those who are indicated were selected as a model of change because of their roles they have played in opposition to the colonial rulers. The research plan is divided into two parts. Part “One” deals with the ”While part “Two .١٩٥٦ – ١٨٩٨ ,condominium impact on southern Sudan examines the impact of National Governments and the Sudanization ,This work discusses, interprets .١٩٧٣–١٩٥٦ policy on the southern Sudan and analyses the impacts of these two periods on the southern region This study .١٩٧٣ from the beginning of the Condominium era up to the consists of an introduction, eight chapters and a conclusion. Chapter one deals with a Background to the History of the Land, its Peoples and the Development in the Southern Sudan. Chapter two describes the Resistance of the Southern Sudanese people to foreign rule and repression of southern Sudan and the process of establishing law and order. Chapter three analyzes the impact of trade on the history of southern Sudan. Chapter four explores the role and impact of the Christian and Islamic Religious Teaching. Chapter five examines education in southern Sudan. Chapter six describes the impact of Nationalism on the history of the southern Sudan. It discusses how the Sudanese took over the Sudan from the British Colonial Administrators and constituted their Government and policies based on Western and secular concepts.

  • The Mount Scopus Enclave, 1948–1967
    Yfaat Weiss Sovereignty in Miniature: The Mount Scopus Enclave, 1948–1967 Abstract: Contemporary scholarly literature has largely undermined the common perceptions of the term sovereignty, challenging especially those of an exclusive ter- ritorial orientation and offering a wide range of distinct interpretations that relate, among other things, to its performativity. Starting with Leo Gross’ canonical text on the Peace of Westphalia (1948), this article uses new approaches to analyze the policy of the State of Israel on Jerusalem in general and the city’s Mount Scopus enclave in 1948–1967 in particular. The article exposes tactics invoked by Israel in three different sites within the Mount Scopus enclave, demilitarized and under UN control in the heart of the Jordanian-controlled sector of Jerusalem: two Jewish in- stitutions (The Hebrew University of Jerusalem and Hadassah hospital), the Jerusa- lem British War Cemetery, and the Palestinian village of Issawiya. The idea behind these tactics was to use the Demilitarization Agreement, signed by Israel, Transjor- dan, and the UN on July 7, 1948, to undermine the status of Jerusalem as a Corpus Separatum, as had been proposed in UN Resolution 181 II. The concept of sovereignty stands at the center of numerous academic tracts written in the decades since the end of the Cold War and the partition of Europe. These days, with international attention focused on the question of Jerusalem’s international status – that is, Israel’s sovereignty over the town – there is partic- ularly good reason to examine the broad range of definitions yielded by these discussions. Such an examination can serve as the basis for an informed analy- sis of Israel’s policy in the past and, to some extent, even help clarify its current approach.

  • Shilluk Lexicography with Audio Data Bert Remijsen, Otto Gwado Ayoker & Amy Martin
    Shilluk Lexicography With Audio Data Bert Remijsen, Otto Gwado Ayoker & Amy Martin Description This archive represents a resource on the lexicon of Shilluk, a Nilo-Saharan language spoken in South Sudan. It includes a table of 2530 lexicographic items, plus 10082 sound clips. The table is included in pdf and MS Word formats; the sound clips are in wav format (recorded with Shure SM10A headset mounted microphone and and Marantz PMD 660/661 solid state recorder, at a sampling frequency of 48kHz and a bit depth of 16). For each entry, we present: (a) the entry form (different for each word class, as explained below); (b) the orthographic representation of the entry form; (c) the paradigm forms and/or example(s); and (d) a description of the meaning. This collection was built up from 2013 onwards. The majority of entries were added between 2015 and 2018, in the context of the project “A descriptive analysis of the Shilluk language”, funded by the Leverhulme Trust (RPG-2015- 055). The main two methods through which the collection was built up are focused lexicography collection by semantic domain, whereby we would collect e.g. words relating to dwellings / fishing / etc., and text collection, whereby we would add entries as we came across new words in the course of the analysis of narrative text. We also added some words on the basis of two earlier lexicographic studies on Shilluk: Heasty (1974) and Ayoker & Kur (2016). We estimate that we drew a few hundred words from each. Comparing the lexicography resource presented here with these two resources, our main contribution is detail, in that we present information on the phonological form and on the grammatical paradigm.

Dissertation Advisor: Professor Roger Owen Sreemati Mitter A History of Money in Palestine: From the 1900s to the Present Abstract How does the condition of statelessness, which is usually thought of as a political problem, affect the economic and monetary lives of ordinary people? This dissertation addresses this question by examining the economic behavior of a stateless people, the Palestinians, over a hundred year period, from the last decades of Ottoman rule in the early 1900s to the present. Through this historical narrative, it investigates what happened to the financial and economic assets of ordinary Palestinians when they were either rendered stateless overnight (as happened in 1948) or when they suffered a gradual loss of sovereignty and control over their economic lives (as happened between the early 1900s to the 1930s, or again between 1967 and the present).

  • Loyal to Israel: Transnational Solidarity with the Israeli- Palestinian Conflict
    LOYAL TO ISRAEL: TRANSNATIONAL SOLIDARITY WITH THE ISRAELI- PALESTINIAN CONFLICT A STUDY OF LOYALIST TRANSNATIONAL SOLIDARITY WITH ISRAEL 1 Loyal to Israel: Transnational solidarity with the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict Thesis MA Modern Middle East Studies Leiden University Andrew Graham Robertson Page Student number: 1963023 15 January 2018 Supervisor: Dr. Noa Schonmann Words: 21,676 Cover Photo: Adrian McKinty, “Israeli flags in Belfast”, Adrian McKinty Blogspot, accessed January 14, 2018, http://adrianmckinty.blogspot.nl/2015/04/the-israeli-flags-in-belfast.html. Abstract: The Ulster Loyalist community of Northern Ireland have long regarded themselves as a people besieged by Irish Republican ideology. While lacking international support, the Loyalists have formed a geographically and culturally unusual bond with the State of Israel. Loyalist support for Israel increased visibly during the 2002 Intifada and Loyalists continue to make declarations of support for Israel. Yet, the governing Likud Party in recent years has commemorated Zionist insurgents, who committed acts of terror against the British administration in the 1940s. The Israeli government’s actions have led to criticism from the Her Majesty’s British government, which the Loyalist community aims to stand alongside, to maintain the Union and prevent the triumph of Irish Republicanism. Despite British public support for Israel declining during the past few decades, Ulster Loyalist support for the Jewish State is believed to be one of the strongest in Europe. 2 Contents Page

  • The Criminalization of South Sudan's Gold Sector
    The Criminalization of South Sudan’s Gold Sector Kleptocratic Networks and the Gold Trade in Kapoeta By the Enough Project April 2020* A Precious Resource in an Arid Land Within the area historically known as the state of Eastern Equatoria, Kapoeta is a semi-arid rangeland of clay soil dotted with short, thorny shrubs and other vegetation.1 Precious resources lie below this desolate landscape. Eastern Equatoria, along with the region historically known as Central Equatoria, contains some of the most important and best-known sites for artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASM). Some estimates put the number of miners at 60,000 working at 80 different locations in the area, including Nanaknak, Lauro (Didinga Hills), Napotpot, and Namurnyang. Locals primarily use traditional mining techniques, panning for gold from seasonal streams in various villages. The work provides miners’ families resources to support their basic needs.2 Kapoeta’s increasingly coveted gold resources are being smuggled across the border into Kenya with the active complicity of local and national governments. This smuggling network, which involves international mining interests, has contributed to increased militarization.3 Armed actors and corrupt networks are fueling low-intensity conflicts over land, particularly over the ownership of mining sites, and causing the militarization of gold mining in the area. Poor oversight and conflicts over the control of resources between the Kapoeta government and the national government in Juba enrich opportunistic actors both inside and outside South Sudan. Inefficient regulation and poor gold outflows have helped make ASM an ideal target for capture by those who seek to finance armed groups, perpetrate violence, exploit mining communities, and exacerbate divisions.

It seems we are deviating from our agenda. What I expected was that the Chiefs of our land, Dinka and Nuer, would sit on one side and address our grievances against the soldiers. I differ from previous speakers… I believe this is not like a traditional war using spears. In my view, our discussion should not concentrate on the chiefs of Dinka and Nuer, but on the soldiers, who are the ones who are responsible for beginning this conflict. “When John Garang and Riek Machar [leaders of rival SPLA factions] began fighting did we understand the reasons for their fighting? When people went to Bilpam [in Ethiopia] to get arms, we thought they would fight against the Government. We were not expecting to fight against ourselves. I would like to ask Commanders Salva Mathok & Salva Kiir & Commander Parjak [Senior SPLA Commanders] if they have concluded the fight against each other. I would ask if they have ended their conflict. Only then would we begin discussions between the chiefs of Dinka and Nuer. “The soldiers are like snakes.

  • Professionalizing Science: British Geography, Africa, and the Exploration of the Nile Miguel Angel Chavez Vanderbilt University
    Professionalizing Science: British Geography, Africa, and the Exploration of the Nile Miguel Angel Chavez Vanderbilt University February 2019 Dissertation Prospectus Prepared for the Doctoral Committee: Dr. Lauren Benton Dr. Moses Ochonu Dr. James Epstein Dr. Jonathan Lamb 1 Abstract: This dissertation identifies the mid-nineteenth century as an inflection point in the practice, organization, and perception of science in Britain. In assessing the history of British exploration in Africa, I investigate how a new generation of explorers overcame social and economic barriers that limited scientific work to gentlemen scientists. I examine the strategies employed by explorers to bolster their scientific credentials, such as a commitment to accurate measurements; a reliance on learned institutions such as the Royal Geographical Society to confer scientific and financial capital on explorers; and a devotion to ideologies prevalent in British geographic circles such as abolitionism and the holistic description of the world. By investigating how these strategies occurred in the context of Nile exploration, I connect the issue of the professionalization of geography with questions of empire, indigenous knowledge, and the transnational nature of British geography. Finally, I chart the development of geography from its seeming unity with the establishment of the Royal Geographical Society to the division of the field between academic geographers and field scientists. It is my hope this study can assess how the legacy of Nile exploration helped transform science in the nineteenth century and reframe the relationship between science and society. Introduction Two strands of inquiry have dominated histories of science in the long nineteenth century. Assessing how class, education, and networks influenced scientific knowledge production and highlighting the natural sciences, one set of historians has placed the gentlemanly scientist at the center of British science from the seventeenth century through the mid-nineteenth century.

  • The Role of Indigenous Languages in Southern Sudan: Educational Language Policy and Planning
    The Role of Indigenous Languages in Southern Sudan: Educational Language Policy and Planning H. Wani Rondyang A thesis submitted to the Institute of Education, University of London, for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2007 Abstract This thesis aims to questions the language policy of Sudan's central government since independence in 1956. An investigation of the root causes of educational problems, which are seemingly linked to the current language policy, is examined throughout the thesis from Chapter 1 through 9. In specific terms, Chapter 1 foregrounds the discussion of the methods and methodology for this research purposely because the study is based, among other things, on the analysis of historical documents pertaining to events and processes of sociolinguistic significance for this study. The factors and sociolinguistic conditions behind the central government's Arabicisation policy which discourages multilingual development, relate the historical analysis in Chapter 3 to the actual language situation in the country described in Chapter 4. However, both chapters are viewed in the context of theoretical understanding of language situation within multilingualism in Chapter 2. The thesis argues that an accommodating language policy would accord a role for the indigenous Sudanese languages. By extension, it would encourage the development and promotion of those languages and cultures in an essentially linguistically and culturally diverse and multilingual country. Recommendations for such an alternative educational language policy are based on the historical and sociolinguistic findings in chapters 3 and 4 as well as in the subsequent discussions on language policy and planning proper in Chapters 5, where theoretical frameworks for examining such issues are explained, and Chapters 6 through 8, where Sudan's post-independence language policy is discussed.
