Abstract

Most international attention devoted to Sudan has focused on the nationwide elections and the 2011 referendum on the status of southern Sudan. Yet, there are other aspects of the north-south dynamic deserving of discussion and strategic thinking that don't receive their due. In a new Peace Brief, USIP's Jon Temin examines six important issues and questions that require more consideration as the decisive events in Sudan’s political history approach.
