Causes of the Sudanese civil war from Feb FEB 1983 TO 31/12/2004
The continued cultural and racial arrogance of the northerners over the southerners.
Continued economic imbalance between the north and south. The north has better infrastructure and is more urbanized than the south.
The introduction of the Sharia law by Major General Jafar al Nimeiri annoyed the southerners who hated Arabic culture and language.
External assistance e.g it was rumoured that Uganda at first assisted John Garang of the SPLA.
The rise of Ahmed Omar-el Bashir in the 1989 coup led to escalated fighting. This is because he declared a military approach to the southern question and ruled out the possibility of round table talks.
The inhuman treatment of southerners e.g Many southerners were displaced and their farms destroyed in the name of constructing the Songle Canal project.
Grinding poverty in the southern pan of Sudan.
Religious differences between the south and north.
Natural hazards like Hoods and famine in the south.
Greed for power e.g by John Garang.
