The Sudan Civil War

Today we had a test which actually wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. Half way through we finished the test and started talking about the Second Sudan Civil War. The Second Sudan Civil War began in 1983 and ended in 2005. It was a fight between the central Sudanese government and the people of Sudan's Liberation Army. Roughly two million people died as a result of this war. This is the most people during a war that have died since World War 2. A few factors that led up to this war such as natural resources and maybe even racial or religious discrimination. The people who lived in the south of Sudan had all the rich resources the central people didn't. 70% of Sudan's profits demanded on oil which the south had. Central Sudan is right next to the Sahara desert which supplies nothing. Also the south of Sudan uses the Nile River as a water source and uses it also to keep the soil fertile. As a result, the central Sudan got jealous and mad which is how the civil war began.
