Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This definitive political history from an ambassador of the Republic of Sudan unravels the background that led to the fracturing of a country. Author and ambassador Dr. Khidir Haroun Ahmed takes us on a journey as he traces the historical and internal/external factors that led to the division of Sudan and altered the political map of Africa. Spanning the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, The Making and Breaking of the United Sudan explores colonial rule, unstable national governments, and disruptive foreign intervention, which led to Sudan's civil war and changed the geography of Sudan. Ahmed's chronicle also focuses on understanding Sudan politics and explains the eventual establishment of two separate national governments in the region. This fascinating account of the formation and dissolution of a United Sudan offers an honest assessment of change and consequences. It provides a look at what worked and what failed and exposes the detrimental policies motivated by political agendas rather than the good of the people.
