The Situation in Sudan: Colin Edwards interviews Dr. Sayed Mohammed El Mahdi, Dean of Law at the University of Khartoum.
This interview spans a wide range of issues related to Sudan and the situation regarding the domination of Northern Sudan (Arab and Muslim) over Southern Sudan (Black and Christian). This dynamic is further explored and explained during the hour long conversation. The speaker plays down divisions between Black Africans and Arabs and instead of race and religion, the speaker identifies underdevelopment as the real root of the problem. Other topics include how the end of British colonialism affected Sudan, the role of missionaries in the colonial process and post-colonial development, challenges of nation building, the prospect of succession and how other events in Africa relate to Sudan. Sudan’s position on Palestine and Vietnam is also discussed.
