Sudan something.


Britain ruled and colonized Sudan in 1881, then 8 years later Britain agreed with Egypt that they would rule Sudan jointly. In the 1920's they separated the peoples and culture of north and south Sudan, this act was called the "closed door." The difference between the two was that the north part of Sudan was Arab descent and the south was African descent. The situation of Sudan changed in 1956 when Sudan gained independence and abandoned the closed door policy that had separated their people. The people were again reunited and the Arab's in the north had the power now. The people believed Sudan was an Arab country and tried to convert the people. These policies led to many tensions that started the civil war. This war led to the population lost of the people in the South. I think if Britain never ruled over Sudan in the first place there would have been strong peace in the land and rectifying wouldn't be needed. Since Britain did rule and the Arab people forced the people away help is needed and I think if the African origin returned to Sudan that would help to rectify their culture back. If everyone helped Sudan to accept back their people and the African people understood and did everything proper, Sudan could be what it was before 1881.
