Case Study: Sudan |
Sudan at a glance:
- Humanitarian crisis: Civil war in Darfur region is seen as "one of the worst nightmares in recent history". Sudan allows a small African Union force in Darfur but refuses to accept a large-scale UN peacekeeping deployment.
- Politics: Omar al-Bashir heads a unity government formed after a peace deal ended 20 years of southern civil war. An independence referendum in the south will follow a six-year period of autonomy.
- Economy: Oil production and revenues are rising.
