My last post, independence (sad)

Hey guys,

This is my final post that will be graded, hopefully if I continue to find new and interesting information I will continue to use Blogger to upload more information. It was a good experience but I want to share some of Sudan's past and present regarding their independence.

So, as of infoplease.com and the CIA database, Sudan has been occupied by different ethnic groups. Sudan was known as the Kingdom of Nubia until it was occupied by the Egyptians over 2000 years ago. The culture began to collide and formed what was once known as the Kingdom of Kush. Unfortunately, the Kingdom of Kush fell in the 6th century due to the fact that missionaries began to convert the southern region Nubians into Christians. This started to split the ethnic groups apart. Centuries later, Britian occupied Sudan (19th century) and created a colony out of the entire land. This caused problems since two different ethnic groups had to co-exist with eachother; they didn't get along very well in the first place.

After WWII Britian granted Sudan the right to a self government, they didnt do a fair job since they continued to force both of the Egyptian's (Islamic Sudanese) and the Nubians (Christians) to live together. This sparked alot of trouble when Omar-Al Bashir (Islamic) came into power in 1989. He was of military descent so he showed no mercy to those who were not of the Islamic descent and since then has killed many of them. UN officials continue to relate many of the humanitarian crimes to him, he continues to deny. More people are killed everyday in Sudan because of one man, fortunatley there will be a hearing to split the country in half so that the Nubians could finally be free. This hearing will be in 2011

Hopefully something will happen.
