Abstract
The current conflict in the Nuba Mountains, which started immediately after the
secession of South Sudan in 2011, is a result of the cumulative grievances shared
by the people of African descent, generally referred to as people of the marginalized
areas in
Sudan. The policies pursued by the political elite in Sudan after the country
attained its independence from Britain in 1956 were the main causes of the first and
second civil wars. The people of the Nuba Mountains joined the Movement
(SPLA/M) because of
its national agenda, as crafted by the late John Garang in
1983, with the legitimate expectation that through armed struggle they would
achieve their freedom. However, the peace processes that resulted in the signing of
the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (
CPA) did not address such a desire. This led
to the resumption of armed struggle based on the same principles as enshrined in
the SPLM’s Manifesto of 1983. But in as much as creating New Sudan as the basis
for a final solution would be in conflict with the
prevailing system of beliefs in the
country there will be a need for an alternative option that would satisfy the desire
for freedom of the people of Nuba Mountains. Generally, the purpose of this article
is to provide a better understanding of the nature
of the current conflict in the Nuba
Mountains and how it should be resolved
.
