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.
