    International Aid Organisations and Child Soldiers in Darfur

    International aid organisations and child soldiers in Darfur The Hague School of European Studies Final paper supervisor: mrs. Grebner Final version Haagse Hogeschool, The Hague, June 17th 2008 Evelien Bouwman Class 4BB2 20044780 Preface Writing this final paper is the last assignment for my bachelor degree. In October 2007, the research for this final paper started and it became clear to me that writing this paper means more to me than writing about other subjects. This final paper is about a subject that really interests me, namely child soldiers in Darfur, Sudan. This paper is written to inform you about why they exist, the circumstances they live in and what, in my view, can be done to stop the recruitment of child soldiers in Darfur. The civil war in Darfur is complicated and it takes time to understand why the conflict started. I have tried to write it down shortly and by doing this, I hope you can understand a little of what the conflict is about. A war always has victims. And most of the time, children are involved. There is a shortage of food, clean (drinking)water, education and medical care. I have read many reports about the number of children who work as child soldiers for armed groups. Children cannot protect themselves against these circumstances so they have to be protected by international law, international organizations etcetera. The situation in Darfur is a humanitarian disaster. International newspapers write about it, television stations broadcast programmes or newsflashes about it, but the situation has not improved since it started in 2003.
  • Homeland, Identity and Wellbeing Amongst the Beni-Amer in Eritrea-Sudan and Diasporas

    Homeland, Identity and Wellbeing Amongst the Beni-Amer in Eritrea-Sudan and Diasporas

    IM/MOBILITY: HOMELAND, IDENTITY AND WELLBEING AMONGST THE BENI-AMER IN ERITREA-SUDAN AND DIASPORAS Thesis Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Leicester Saeid Hmmed BSc MSc (OU) Department of Geography University of Leicester September 2017 i Abstract This thesis focuses on how mobility, identity, conceptions of homeland and wellbeing have been transformed across time and space amongst the Beni-Amer. Beni-Amer pastoralist societies inhabit western Eritrea and eastern Sudan; their livelihoods are intimately connected to livestock. Their cultural identities, norms and values, and their indigenous knowledge, have revolved around pastoralism. Since the 1950s the Beni-Amer have undergone rapid and profound socio-political and geographic change. In the 1950s the tribe left most of their ancestral homeland and migrated to Sudan; many now live in diasporas in Western and Middle Eastern countries. Their mobility, and conceptions of homeland, identity and wellbeing are complex, mutually constitutive and cannot be easily untangled. The presence or absence, alteration or limitation of one of these concepts affects the others. Qualitatively designed and thematically analysed, this study focuses on the multiple temporalities and spatialities of Beni-Amer societies. The study subjected pastoral mobility to scrutiny beyond its contemporary theoretical and conceptual framework. It argues that pastoral mobility is currently understood primarily via its role as a survival system; as a strategy to exploit transient concentration of pasture and water across rangelands. The study stresses that such perspectives have contributed to the conceptualization of pastoral mobility as merely physical movement, a binary contrast to settlement; pastoral societies are therefore seen as either sedentary or mobile.

Southern Sudanese left their country to escape the civil war between Southern Sudanese and the Northern dominated government. The civil war began intermittently in 1955 and continuously in 1983. The civil war ended in 2003 and has resulted in the death of 2 million and the displacement of four million Southern Sudanese (UNHCR, 2001). The lives of the Southern Sudanese refugees have not been easy after resettlement, especially the lives of women.

Primary objective of the study was to create awareness among the health professional in Sudan. We would like to thank the focal point for Climate change in Sudan at the Higher Council for Environment and Natural Resources (HCENR) for their support, advices and contribution. We are also grateful for Dr. Wsilat Zarwoog, Ministry of Health, Malaria Control Program, for her help and provision of information during the period of study. We are grateful to the Department for International Development (DFID) of the United Kingdom and the International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED-UK) for providing financial and technical assistance that has made this document possible. Page ii EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Sudan is a developing country and at the moment many developmental projects are being implemented. In the national strategies many major projects are also planned for the near future. Many of the these developmental projects (such as dams, agricultural projects) are likely to cause drastic changes in the environment (micro, meso, macro environment) and are likely, if not carefully managed, to encourage the spread of diseases (malaria, bilharzias etc.). The joint negative impacts of climate change and lack of development could be very dangerous and might threaten the health of a large number of people in the country.
