  • Evolution and Changes in the Morphologies of Sudanese Cities Mohamed Babiker Ibrahima* and Omer Abdalla Omerb
    Urban Geography, 2014 Vol. 35, No. 5, 735–756, http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/02723638.2014.919798 Evolution and changes in the morphologies of Sudanese cities Mohamed Babiker Ibrahima* and Omer Abdalla Omerb aDepartment of Geography, Hunter College of the City University of New York, New York, NY 10065, USA; bDepartment of Marketing, Entrepreneurship, Hospitality, and Tourism, The University of North Carolina-Greensboro, Greensboro, NC 27412, USA (Received 20 March 2013; accepted 17 March 2014) This article investigates the morphological evolution of Sudanese cities. The study of morphology or urban morphology involves consideration of town planning, building form, and the pattern of land and building utilization. Sudan has a long history of urbanization that contributed to the establishment of an early Sudanese civilization and European-style urban centers that have shaped the morphology of today’s cities. We identify three broad morphologies: indigenous, African-Islamic, and European style (colonial). The ongoing, rapid urbanization of African cities in general and Sudanese cities in particular points to a need to understand the structure of this urbanization. The morphology of cities includes not only physical structure, but the cultural heritage, economic, and historical values on which it is based. Therefore, preservation, redeve- lopment, and urban policy underlying future urban expansion must be based on the nature of cities’ morphologies and development. Keywords: urban morphology; indigenous cities; African-Islamic cities; European- style cities; Sudan Introduction The objective of this study is to investigate the evolving urban morphology of several Sudanese cities. Sudan has a long history of urbanization, beginning at the time of the Meroitic kingdom that flourished in the central part of the country from approximately 300 BCE to 350 CE (Adams, 1977; Shinnie, 1967).

  • Italian Tourism Co. Ltd
    Italian Tourism Co. Ltd SUDAN Hidden treasures of Sudan 6 days This tour shows all the major archaeological sites of the Northern part of the country. Some overnights are in our exclusive properties of Karima and Meroe. This arid and wild region of extraordinary archaeological interest and beautiful landscapes becomes accessible even to those reluctant to sacrifice their comfort. Day 1 / Khartoum – city tour Breakfast at the hotel and then Khartoum city tour. We first visit the Archaeological Museum that, besides many beautiful objects, contains two beautiful temples rescued by UNESCO and moved from the Lake Nasser area, when it was flooded by the water. We then cross the Nile over the confluence between the Blue and the White Nile to reach Omdurman to visit the Khalifa’s House Museum. Lunch NOT included. In the afternoon we visit the colourful souk and then at sunset time we move near the tomb of Ahmed Al Nil to assist at the involving ceremony of the Whirling Dervishes (only on Fridays). Return to the hotel. Dinner NOT included and overnight stay. (B.) 18 Nov 2016 Day 2 / Khartoum – Old Dongola - Karima Early in the morning breakfast at the hotel and then we begin the journey northward through the Western desert. We travel in a flat desert where the view can span 360° around and we reach Wadi Muqaddam with its many acacia trees. We will stop at the "chai houses", literally tea houses, simply a sort of very Spartan "motorway restaurants", in the desert where local truck drivers usually stop for a quick meal and some rest.

Printed in the United States of America. Library of Congress Catalog Card Number: 96-75962 ISBN 1-56432-164-9 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This report was researched and written by Human Rights Watch Counsel Jemera Rone. Human Rights Watch Leonard H. Sandler Fellow Brian Owsley also conducted research with Ms. Rone during a mission to Khartoum, Sudan, from May 1-June 13, 1995, at the invitation of the Sudanese government. Interviews in Khartoum with nongovernment people and agencies were conducted in private, as agreed with the government before the mission began. Private individuals and groups requested anonymity because of fear of government reprisals. Interviews in Juba, the largest town in the south, were not private and were controlled by Sudan Security, which terminated the visit prematurely. Other interviews were conducted in the United States, Cairo, London and elsewhere after the end of the mission. Ms. Rone conducted further research in Kenya and southern Sudan from March 5-20, 1995. The report was edited by Deputy Program Director Michael McClintock and Human Rights Watch/Africa Executive Director Peter Takirambudde. Acting Counsel Dinah PoKempner reviewed sections of the manuscript and Associate Kerry McArthur provided production assistance.

Box 12556, Al-haram, Giza, Egypt Abstract: The occurrence of bovine herpes virus-1 (BHV-1) in camels as studied. A total of 186 pneumonic camel lungs were collected from slaughter houses at four different areas in Sudan during 2000œ2006. Using sandwich ELISA 1.6% of 186 tested lungs were found positive for BHV-1 antigen, all were from Tambool at Central Sudan. Direct fluorescent antibody test (FAT) was used to confirm the BHV-1 ELISA positives, all ELISA positives were also positive. PCR was used to detect BHV-1 genome with three positive results. BHV-1 was isolated from two camel lungs in MDBK cells. Isolates were identified using ELISA and FAT. Indirect ELISA was used to detect antibodies to BHV-1 in 260 camel sera; 76.9% were found positive. Highest prevalence was observed in sera from Kordofan (84%) then Blue Nile (80%) and Tambool (76.3%). This is the first report for the detection of BHV-1 antigen, genome using PCR, isolation in cell culture and antibodies in camels in Sudan. 1. Introduction: Infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR), caused by bovine herpes virus-1 (BHV-1) of subfamily Alphaherpesvirinae within the Herpesviridae family, is one of the most economically important diseases of farm animals despite lowmortality rate.

    Sudan NUBIA, THE KINGDOM OF THE BLACK PHARAOHS Nubian history has been always entwined with the great Nile river. It was always a corridor between the two sides of Africa: the “white” Africa along the Mediterranean Sea, fi rstly Egyptian, Greek and then Roman; the “black” Africa, a sensational land still mysterious in many ways. Archeology, natural landscapes, deserts and its warm people, all of them still untouched by mass tourism. I.T.C. Sudan can show you Sudan with style and professionalism. HISTORY, PYRAMIDS AND TEMPLES The most important time in the history of North Sudan begins with the fi rst Kingdom of Kush, in Kerma, and continues around 1500 B.C. when the Egyptian pharaohs conquered Nubia leaving behind temples, monuments and permeating the local culture. Then the new Kushite kingdom with its capital in Napata (near modern Karima) was born. This was the golden age of Nubia; in 725 B.C. the Nubian king Piankhi conquered Egypt. In these times the concept of pyramids as funerary monuments spread in Nubia while it had been completely abandoned in Egypt for centuries. As time passed by, Napata lost its importance and Meroe, located south-east, became the new capital of the kingdom. Meroe was the most important metropolis in Sudan for many centuries until its fall in IV cen. A.D. The sites of the Napatean and Meroitic period are UNESCO World Heritage. www.italtoursudan.com The Kingdom of the Black Pharaohs 10 days all accommodated tour with 4 overnights in our charming Nubian Rest-House in Karima and 2 overnights in our Meroe Camp facing the pyramids of Meroe, both equipped with all comforts.

Descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in Omdurman Maternity Hospital; blood was taken from pregnant women that came for delivery and investigated for cytomegalovirus specific immunoglobin G (IgG) and immunoglobin M (IgM) antibodies using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Demographic and clinical data were collected by questionnaire after a written consent. A total of 200 pregnant women were included in this study. The ages of all women tested ranged from 18 to 43 years. Out of the 200 pregnant women tested, 195 (97.5%) and 12 (6.0%) were CMV IgG and CMV IgM positive, respectively. The age was associated with CMV IgM and history of miscarriage was significantly associated with CMV IgG positive women, while parity, congenital abnormalities, educational level, and occupation were not significantly (P > 0.05) associated with CMV infection.

Following the first recorded introduction of the Old World screwworm fly (OWS), Chrysomya bezziana Villeneuve (Diptera: Calliphoridae), into the Mesopotamia valley in Iraq in September 1996, cases of livestock myiasis caused by OWS developed a distinctly seasonal pattern. The annual cycle of clinical OWS cases is explained here on the basis of environmental variables that affect the different life-cycle stages of C. bezziana. This analysis suggests that low tempera- tures restricted pupal development during the winter, whereas the dispersal of adult flies was constrained by hot/dry summer conditions. A restricted number of OWS foci persisted throughout the year. In these foci, pupal development was fastest during the autumn months. In autumn, rapid multiplication, lasting several OWS generations, allowed subsequent adult fly dispersal across the valley floor during the winter. Hence, the monthly incidence of clinical OWS cases in livestock peaked during December–January and was lowest during July–August. In addi- tion to temperature and humidity, vegetation cover played a role in OWS dis- tribution. Hence the majority of OWS cases were clustered in the medium density type of vegetation [normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) values of 0.2–0.4] along the main watercourses in the marshy Mesopotamia valley.
