Sudan

The controlling influence over a nation of people. This is something that the Sudan nation has to deal with on a day to day basis. Britain started to rule Sudan in 1881. Britain and Egypt came to a agreement that they would rule Sudan together. Some point in time during the 1920's they created what they call a " closed door", which means that they separated the people and there cultures of North Sudan and South Sudan. The people that live in North Sudan was full of people that belonged to the Arab Descent. In South Sudan people had the culture of African people.

Finally in 1956 the Sudan people broke free from the Britain's and the Egyptians. Then they decided that they needed to change some things. One of the things that they changed was the "closed door" they thought that they should be able to communicate with people in North Sudan and South Sudan. After things got changed back to how they were before, power was handed over to the Arabs in the North. Since the Sudan was fully populated with Arabs they made it so that everybody lived the way the Arabs did, no matter what there culture or religion was. The people that refused to live that way, were of course punished for there decision. This of course caused tension in the community between the Arabs and the Africans, the tension got so bad that it caused a civil war, which led to people leaving the community and displacement of Sudan's Indigenous people.  Some ways that could possibly fix these problems would be to let people live there own life, let them have their own religions. I think that the Arab's should be more tolerant of the situation, they should be more considerate on how the people think. I think that since they brought the south and the north back together that they should be willing to be open minded about what the people want. If they want to have their own religion they should be allowed, if they want to celebrate what their real cultures are they should be allowed to. If the government doesn't want to have civil wars going on then they should be more open minded about the rules they have made.
