What happened after Africa's biggest country split in two?
When South Sudan ran up its flag in July 2011, two new
nations came into being. In South Sudan a former rebel
movement faces colossal challenges in building a new
country. At independence it was one of the least developed
places on earth, after decades of conflict and neglect. The
'"rump state'", Sudan, has been debilitated by devastating
civil wars, including in Darfur, and lost a significant part
of its territory, and most of its oil wealth, after the
divorce from the South. In the years after separation, the
two Sudans dealt with crippling economic challenges,
struggled with new and old rebellions, and fought each other
along their disputed border.
Benefiting from
unsurpassed access to the politicians, rebels, thinkers and
events that are shaping the Sudans, Copnall draws a
compelling portrait of two misunderstood countries. A
Poisonous Thorn in Our Hearts argues that Sudan and
South Sudan remain deeply interdependent, despite their
separation. It also diagnoses the political failings that
threaten the future of both countries. The author puts the
turmoil of the years after separation into a broader
context, reflecting the voices, hopes and experiences of
Sudanese and South Sudanese from all walks of life.
