  • Feasting on Famines Food Insecurity and the Making of the Anglo
    Feasting on Famines Food Insecurity and the Making of the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan, 1883-1956 Steven Serels Department of History, McGill University, Montreal April 2012 A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy © Steven Serels 2012 Abstract The cycle of famine and food insecurity that afflicted much of Northern, Central and Eastern Sudan in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries was part of an inter-generational process that fundamentally altered indigenous economic, political and social structures and, in so doing, allowed British imperial agents to conquer the Sudan and, subsequently, to seize key natural resources, including the Nile and fertile regions in the Jazira and Eastern Sudan. This cycle was triggered by British military policies pursued in the 1880s to contain the Mahdist Rebellion (1883-1898). These policies eroded the food security of indigenous communities in Dunqula, Eastern Sudan and the Red Sea Hills and precipitated a series of famines that destabilized the Mahdist state. Though British-led forces were unaffected by these nineteenth century food crises, the British-controlled Anglo-Egyptian government was, in the years following its establishment in 1898, weakened by a prolonged period of food insecurity during which indigenous communities exerted their right to control their slaves, land and produce. Subsequent innovations in the colonial economy, notably the development of a common grain market, precipitated a number of early twentieth century famines that impoverished many indigenous communities and, thereby, prevented indigenous resistance to state efforts to develop Sudanese resources for the benefit of British industry.

  • New Issues in Refugee Research
    NEW ISSUES IN REFUGEE RESEARCH Research Paper No. 254 Refugees and the Rashaida: human smuggling and trafficking from Eritrea to Sudan and Egypt Rachel Humphris Ph.D student COMPAS University of Oxford Email: [email protected] March 2013 Policy Development and Evaluation Service Policy Development and Evaluation Service United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees P.O. Box 2500, 1211 Geneva 2 Switzerland E-mail: [email protected] Web Site: www.unhcr.org These papers provide a means for UNHCR staff, consultants, interns and associates, as well as external researchers, to publish the preliminary results of their research on refugee-related issues. The papers do not represent the official views of UNHCR. They are also available online under ‘publications’ at <www.unhcr.org>. ISSN 1020-7473 Introduction Eritreans have been seeking asylum in east Sudan for more than four decades and the region now hosts more than 100,000 refugees1. East Sudan has also become a key transit region for those fleeing Eritrea. One route, from East Sudan to Egypt, the Sinai desert and Israel has gained increasing attention. According to UNHCR statistics, the number of Eritreans crossing the border from Sinai to Israel has increased from 1,348 in 2006 to 17,175 in 2011. Coupled with this dramatic growth in numbers, the conditions on this route have caused great concern. Testimonies from Eritreans have increasingly referred to kidnapping, torture and extortion at the hands of human smugglers and traffickers. The smuggling route from Eritrea to Israel is long, complex and involves many different actors. As such, it cannot be examined in its entirety in a single paper.

These peoples had given way to pastoralists and probably agriculturalists at least by the fourth millennium B.C. Sudan’s subsequent culture and history have largely revolved around relations to the north with Egypt and to the south with tropical Africa, the Nile River forming a “bridge” through the Sahara Desert between the two.

  • Prevalence of Dengue Fever Virus Antibodies and Associated Risk Factors Among Residents of El-Gadarif State, Sudan Mawahib H
    Eldigail et al. BMC Public Health (2018) 18:921 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12889-018-5853-3 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Prevalence of dengue fever virus antibodies and associated risk factors among residents of El-Gadarif state, Sudan Mawahib H. Eldigail1, Gamal K. Adam2, Rabie A. Babiker2, Fatima Khalid3, Ibrahim A. Adam1, Osama H. Omer1, Mohamed E. Ahmed4, Sara L. Birair4, Eltahir M. Haroun5, Hassan AbuAisha5, Abdelrahim E. Karrar1, Hamid S. Abdalla1 and Imadeldin E. Aradaib1* Abstract Background: Dengue fever, caused by dengue virus (DENV), has become one of the most important mosquito- borne viral diseases with a steady rise in global incidence, including the Sudan. Sporadic cases and frequent acute febrile illness outbreaks, compatible with Dengue fever, have been reported in El-Gadarif State, Sudan. However, diagnosis was based almost exclusively on clinical signs without confirmatory laboratory investigations. Despite the magnitude of the problem in El-Gadarif State, no information is currently available with regard to the epidemiology of the disease in this State. El-Gadarif State is one of the largest commercial centers in the Sudan. The objective of the present investigation is to estimate the prevalence of DENV antibodies, and determine the potential risk factors associated with seropositivity among residents of El-Gadarif State. Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted in a total of 701residents randomly selected from all 10 localities in El-Gadarif State. The sera from the 701 residents were tested for the presence of DENV-specific immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies using a commercially available Anti-dengue IgG enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).

  • The Mahdiyya, Bib
    BIBLIOGRAPHIES A BIBLIOGRAPHY OF THE MAHDIST STATE IN THE SUDAN (1881-1898) AHMED IBRAHIM ABU SHOUK The Sudanese Mahdiyya was a movement of social, economic and political protest, launched in 1881 by Mu˛ammad A˛mad b. fiAbd Allh (later Mu˛ammad al- Mahdı) against the Turco-Egyptian imperialists who had ruled the Sudan since 1821. After four years of struggle the Mahdist rebels overthrew the Turco-Egyptian administration and established their own ‘Islamic and national’ government with its capital in Omdurman. Thus from 1885 the Mahdist regime maintained sovereignty and control over the Sudanese territories until its existence was terminated by the Anglo-Egyptian imperial forces in 1898. The purpose of this article is first to give a brief survey of the primary sources of Mahdist history, secondly to trace the development of Mahdist studies in the Sudan and abroad, and finally to present a detailed bibliography of the history of the Mahdist revolution and state, with special reference to published sources (primary and secondary) and conference papers. Bibliographic overview The seventeen years of Mahdist rule in the Sudan produced a large number of published and unpublished primary textual sources on the history of the revolution and its state. Contri- butions from ‘Mahdist intellectuals’ in the Sudan were products of the state written in defence of the ideals of Mahdist ideology and the achievements of the Mahdi and his successor, the Khalifa fiAbdallhi. The Mahdi himself left a Sudanic Africa, 10, 1999, 133-168 134 AHMED IBRAHIM ABU SHOUK corpus of literary works, which manifest his own teachings, proclamations, sermons and judgements issued on various occasions.

  • The Southern Border of the Kingdom of Makuria in the Nile Valley 94 Mariusz Drzewiecki
    INSTITUT DES CULTURES MÉDITERRANÉENNES ET ORIENTALES DE L’ACADÉMIE POLONAISE DES SCIENCES ÉTUDES et TRAVAUX XXIV 2011 MARIUSZ DRZEWIECKI The Southern Border of the Kingdom of Makuria in the Nile Valley 94 MARIUSZ DRZEWIECKI Written sources do not contain much information about the borders between the different kingdoms of medieval Nubia. It seems that there were two types of borders1 and the dif- ference between them comes down to a matter of precision. The borders running through the Nile Valley are in the majority of cases more clearly defined than the borders which run through the desert. In the first instance the names of settlements, characteristic points in the landscape, are given as well as distances in terms of the number of days a journey takes. Desert borders however are often described using only the names of the tribes which were meant to be, at least seasonally, in the given region, without any further details. On the basis of this observation it is possible to deduce that in the time of the Kingdom of Makuria the borders in the Nile Valley were precisely established. In this article I will deal with the southern border of the Kingdom of Makuria in the Nile Nalley. The issue in question is whether, in a certain period (at least within the Thir- teenth –Fourteenth centuries), could this border have crossed through the fortifications in Wadi Dam et Tor and Tarfaya (Fig. 1). The conclusions are based on the analysis of writ- ten sources and the context of both the aforementioned sites. Written sources mentioning the southern border of the Kingdom of Makuria in the Nile Valley We have few detailed mentions of the southern border of the Kingdom of Makuria.

Short Form: Eritrea (Ertra). Term for Citizen(s): Eritrean(s). Capital: Asmara (alternate spelling Asmera). Major Cities: Asmara, Keren, Assab, Massawa, Afabet, Teseney, Mendefera, Dekemhare, Adekeieh, Barentu, and Ghinda (according to decreasing size, 2005 estimates). Independence: Eritrea officially celebrated its independence from Ethiopia on May 24, 1993. Public Holidays: Eritrea observes the following public holidays: New Year’s Day (January 1), Independence Day (May 24), Martyrs’ Day (June 20), Anniversary of the Start of Armed Struggle (September 1), and Christmas Day (December 25). The following holidays with movable dates determined by the Islamic or Orthodox calendar are celebrated as well: Eid al Fitr, Eid al Adha, Epiphany, and Easter. Flag: Eritrea’s flag is a rectangle divided into three triangles: a red isosceles triangle based on the hoist side, and a green upper and blue lower right triangle. A gold wreath encircling a gold olive branch is centered on the Click to Enlarge Image hoist side of the red triangle. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND Colonial Era: Until the late nineteenth century, the high plateau of present-day Eritrea was a part of the Ethiopian province of Tigray. Its inhabitants, racially, culturally, and linguistically Tigrayan, were subjects of the Ethiopian crown, whereas the surrounding lowlanders were for the most part independent. The boundaries of modern Eritrea were established during the period of Italian colonization that began in the late 1800s. An Italian shipping company, Rubatinno Shipping, purchased the port of Assab from a local ruler.

It is prol::able that such an understanding can adequately OCitlbat the concerted false propaganda of the western media that has for so long projected the Eritrean peoples struggle as that of secession, religious-o::>nflict, etc. The materials carpiled in this preliminary bibliography might serve this purpose, rut in general, they remain far fran adequate. As it is, they can be roughly classified into three parts. First, an assortment of materials of oolonial origins, largely fl:an oolonial anthropologists and other synpathlzing social-scientists. Then there is the large oollection of oonterrg;x>rary political writings, mainly journalistic reports and acoounts of official positions on the question of "disposal" of the fonter Italian oolonies. Finally, there are smaller but succinct acootmts, original documents and war-front reports by the Eritrean Liberation Fronts and their . supporters.
