War wounds: Development costs of conflict in southern Sudan

by Abdul Rahman Abu Zayd Ahmed, Olusegun Obasanjo (Preface by), Benjamin Pogrund (Editor)

Since 1983, Southern Sudan has been racked by civil war. With the rural economy in shreds, millions of families must choose to attempt a perilous 1,000 mile journey to Khartoum and urban squalor or trek three months to refugee camps in equally poverty stricken Ethiopa. For the first time, Sudanese people from different political sides come together to tell the world about the development costs of their conflict. Using interviews, case studies, and photographs(with added material from UN officials and outside journalists), they describe the terrifying consequences for ordinary people caaught up in the combat, and the implications for future strategy.
