         <description><![CDATA[<div>The civil war in Sudan was a complex conflict that spanned several decades and had a deep historical root. To understand the war you would have to examine Sudan's history and factors that contributed to it. Sudan is a country located in northeastern Africa, it gained its independence from British and Egyptian colonial rule on January 1, 1956. The country is ethnically and religiously diverse with many different people there, with Arab Muslims populating the majority and numerous indigenous African ethnic groups practicing Christianity and traditional religions. <a href="https://study.com/academy/lesson/sudan-ethnic-groups.html">(Newton, 2019)</a>. The roots of the war can be traced back to the colonial period when Sudan's north and south were separate. The North with its Arab-Muslim majority, received much better treatment from the British in terms of resources and development. While the South, which was predominantly African and non-muslim, was neglected and belittled. The divide between the North and South deepened after independence, as political power was taken into the hands of the Northern elites. In 1955, before Sudan gained independence the first Sudanese civil war broke out between the northern-dominated government and southern rebels. This war lasted until 1972 and resulted in the signing of the Addis Ababa Agreement, which granted autonomy to the southern region of Sudan. <a href="https://www.cfr.org/interview/understanding-roots-conflict-south-sudan">(Noel, 2016)</a>&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>The U.S. government, along with other countries and international organizations has provided humanitarian aid to the people and things affected in Sudan. The assistance included food, medical supplies, shelter, and other essential needs. In 2011, Sudan experienced another significant event when South Sudan gained independence after a separate civil war.
