Southern Sudan Autonomous Region (2005–11)
Southern Sudan (Arabic: حكومة جنوب السودان Ḥukūmatu Janūbi s-Sūdān) was an autonomous region consisting of the ten southern states of Sudan between its formation in July 2005 and independence as the Republic of South Sudan in July 2011. The autonomous government was initially established in Rumbek and later moved to Juba. It was bordered by Ethiopia to the east; Kenya, Uganda, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo to the south; and the Central African Republic to the west. To the north lies the predominantly Arab and Muslim region directly under the control of the central government. The region's autonomous status was a condition of a peace agreement between the Sudan People's Liberation Army/Movement (SPLA/M) and the Government of Sudan represented by the National Congress Party ending the Second Sudanese Civil War. The conflict was Africa's longest running civil war.
History
Egypt, under the rule of Khedive Isma'il Pasha, first attempted to colonise the region in the 1870s, establishing the province of Equatoria in the southern portion. Egypt's first governor was Samuel Baker, commissioned in 1869, followed by Charles George Gordon in 1874 and by Emin Pasha in 1878. The Mahdist War of the 1880s destabilised the nascent province, and Equatoria ceased to exist as an Egyptian outpost in 1889. Important settlements in Equatoria included Lado, Gondokoro, Dufile and Wadelai. In 1947, British hopes to join the southern part of Sudan with Uganda were dashed by the Juba Conference, to unify northern and southern Sudan.

Southern Sudan Autonomous Region (1972–83)
The Southern Sudan Autonomous Region was an autonomous region that existed in Southern Sudan between 1972 and 1983. It was established on 28 February 1972 by the Addis Ababa Agreement which ended the First Sudanese Civil War. The region was abolished on 5 June 1983 by the administration of Sudanese President Gaafar Nimeiry. Revocation of southern autonomy was a cause of the Second Sudanese Civil War which would continue until January 2005, when southern autonomy was restored.
Government and politics
Southern Sudan was governed by a High Executive Council which was led by a President of the High Executive Council. Abel Alier was the first President, holding that post between 1972 and 1978.
Legislative authority was vested in a People's Regional Assembly.
The autonomous region consisted of the three provinces of Equatoria, Bahr al-Ghazal, and Greater Upper Nile. Juba was the regional capital.
Presidents of the High Executive Council
Post-abolition
The Southern Sudan Autonomous Region was abolished in 1983. Between 1987 and 1989 a Council for the South existed in Southern Sudan. Following the signing of the Khartoum Peace Agreement of 1997, a Southern Sudan Coordination Council was established initially led by Riek Machar who was also appointed Assistant to the President of the Republic. This body was abolished in 2005 when the autonomous Government of Southern Sudan was established.

Autonomy
Autonomy (Ancient Greek: αὐτονομία autonomia from αὐτόνομος autonomos from αὐτο- auto- "self" and νόμος nomos, "law", hence when combined understood to mean "one who gives oneself one's own law") is a concept found in moral, political, and bioethical philosophy. Within these contexts, it is the capacity of a rational individual to make an informed, un-coerced decision.
Sociology
In the subfield of sociology called the sociology of knowledge, controversy over the boundaries of autonomy stopped at the concept of relative autonomy, until a typology of autonomy was created and developed within science and technology studies. According to it, the contemporary form of science's existing autonomy is the reflexive autonomy: actors and structures within the scientific field are able to translate or to reflect diverse themes presented by social and political fields, as well as influence them regarding the thematic choices on research projects.
Politics
In the past few decades, a large movement of autonomism has emerged in the form of anarchism.

South Sudan (
i/ˌsaʊθ suˈdɑːn, -ˈdæn/), officially the Republic of South Sudan, is a landlocked country in northeastern Africa that gained its independence from Sudan in 2011. Its current capital is Juba, which is also its largest city. It is planned that the capital city will be changed to the more centrally located Ramciel in the future. South Sudan is bordered by Sudan to the north, Ethiopia to the east, Kenya to the southeast, Uganda to the south, the Democratic Republic of the Congo to the southwest, and the Central African Republic to the west. It includes the vast swamp region of the Sudd, formed by the White Nile and known locally as the Bahr al Jabal.
The territories of modern South Sudan and the Republic of the Sudan were occupied by Egypt under the Muhammad Ali Dynasty, and later governed as an Anglo-Egyptian condominium until Sudanese independence was achieved in 1956. Following the First Sudanese Civil War, the Southern Sudan Autonomous Region was formed in 1972 and lasted until 1983. A second Sudanese civil war soon developed and ended with the Comprehensive Peace Agreement of 2005. Later that year, southern autonomy was restored when an Autonomous Government of Southern Sudan was formed.

Sudan
Sudan (Arabic: السودان as-Sūdān, English pronunciation (US) i/suˈdæn/, (GB) /suːˈdɑːn/), officially the Republic of the Sudan (Arabic: جمهورية السودان Jumhūrīyat as-Sūdān), is a country in north-east Africa. It is bordered by Egypt to the north, the Red Sea, Eritrea, and Ethiopia, to the east, South Sudan to the south, the Central African Republic to the southwest, Chad to the west and Libya to the northwest. It is the third largest country in Africa. The River Nile divides the country into eastern and western halves. Its predominant religion is Islam.
Sudan was home to numerous ancient civilizations, such as the Kingdom of Kush, Kerma, Nobatia, Alodia, Makuria, Meroë and others, most of which flourished along the Nile. During the pre-dynastic period Nubia and Nagadan Upper Egypt were identical, simultaneously evolved systems of pharaonic kingship by 3300 BC. By virtue of its proximity to Egypt, the Sudan participated in the wider history of the Near East inasmuch as it was Christianized by the 6th century, and Islamized in the 15th. As a result of Christianization, the Old Nubian language stands as the oldest recorded Nilo-Saharan language (earliest records dating to the 9th century). Sudan was the largest country in Africa and the Arab world until 2011, when South Sudan separated into an independent country, following an independence referendum. Sudan is now the third largest country in Africa (after Algeria and the Democratic Republic of the Congo) and also the third largest country in the Arab world (after Algeria and Saudi Arabia).

Sudan stain
Sudan stains and Sudan dyes are synthetic organic compounds that are used as dyes for various plastics and are also used to stain sudanophilic biological samples, usually lipids. Sudan II, Sudan III, Sudan IV, Oil Red O, and Sudan Black B are important members of this class of compounds (see images below).
Staining
Sudan dyes have high affinity to fats, therefore they are used to demonstrate triglycerides, lipids, and lipoproteins. Alcoholic solutions of Sudan dyes are usually used, however pyridine solutions can be used in some situations as well.
Sudan stain test is often used to determine the level of fecal fat to diagnose steatorrhea. A small sample is dissolved in water or saline, glacial acetic acid is added to hydrolyze the insoluble salts of fatty acids, a few drops of alcoholic solution of Sudan III are added, the sample is spread on a microscopic slide, and heated twice to boil. Normally a stool sample should show only a few drops of red-orange stained fat under the microscope. The method is only semiquantitative but, due to its simplicity, it is used for screening.

Southern Sudan Referendum on Self-Determination (Kede Wala/"Let it Shine")
In January 2011, southern Sudanese voters in Sudan and eight diaspora countries voted in a referendum to decide whether southern Sudan would remain united with northern Sudan, or secede and form an independent nation - a choice guaranteed to them in the 2005 Comprehensive Peace Agreement that ended Sudan's 22-year, north-south civil war. This USAID video explores the referendum process, for which USAID provided comprehensive assistance, and the significant hurdles that had to be overcome for the referendum to begin on time and be considered a credible process by Sudanese and the international community.

On December 19, 2018, protests broke out in small cities throughout Sudan amid an economic crisis, eventually reaching the country's capital, Khartoum. These protests posed the biggest challenge to Sudan's longest-serving dictator, Omar al-Bashir, who throughout his regime did everything he could to remain in power. Bashir relied on various security sectors to protect him from being overthrown. However, his plan ultimately failed on April 11, 2019, when the country's army, the Sudanese Armed Forces, and a paramilitary force, the Rapid Support Forces, sided with the protesters and carried out a military coup, toppling Bashir.
The end of Bashir's regime brought hope to the protesters, but they remained skeptical about the men who had overthrown him. SAF’s Abdel Fattah Burhan and RSF’s Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo (aka Hemeti) took control of the country after the coup and made repeated promises to hand over power to civilians, which would put Sudan on a democratic path. But they continuously delayed fulfilling their promises and instead turned against each other, vying for power in Sudan. The two men have brutally interrupted Sudan’s pro-democracy revolution.
The fighting between the two men's forces started out in Sudan's capital, Khartoum, and spread all over the country. Recent ceasefire breakdowns have led to more bursts of violence, especially in Darfur, a region still reeling from the aftermath of a genocide at the hands of Bashir's regime.
Watch the latest episode of Atlas to understand how their feud has undermined the democratic aspirations of the protesters and put Sudan at risk of a civil war.

How Sudan's top two military men turned on each other

On December 19, 2018, protests broke out in small cities throughout Sudan amid an economic crisis, eventually reaching the country's capital, Khartoum. These protests posed the biggest challenge to Sudan's longest-serving dictator, Omar al-Bashir, who throughout his regime did everything he could to remain in power. Bashir relied on various security sectors to protect him from being overthrown. However, his plan ultimately failed on April 11, 2019, when the country's army, the Sudanese Armed Forces, and a paramilitary force, the Rapid Support Forces, sided with the protesters and carried out a military coup, toppling Bashir.
The end of Bashir's regime brought hope to the protesters, but they remained skeptical about the men who had overthrown him. SAF’s Abdel Fattah Burhan and RSF’s Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo (aka Hemeti) took control of the country after the coup and made repeated promises to hand over power to civilians, which would put Sudan on a democratic path. But they continuously delayed fulfilling their promises and instead turned against each other, vying for power in Sudan. The two men have brutally interrupted Sudan’s pro-democracy revolution.

"Well, I have never voted in my life. This is my first time to vote and it is a good beginning that Sudan is going back to democracy.

STORYLINE:
Sudan, Africa''s largest state, voted on Sunday in its first competitive elections in nearly a quarter century despite partial boycotts by the opposition and calls to delay the vote.
In Khartoum, turnout was lighter than expected in the first few hours of voting, aside from a few enthusiastic supporters of President Omar al-Bashir.
Al-Bashir, who came to power in a military coup in 1989, also cast his vote in Khartoum. It is the first time he is running for re-election in a multiparty race.
Security was tight around polling stations and trucks loaded with uniformed security were deployed around the capital.
The elections, which will run through Tuesday, are an essential part of a 2005 peace deal that ended the north-south war that killed two million (m) people over 21 years.
They are designed to kick-start a democratic transformation in the war-plagued nation and provide a democratically elected government to prepare for a crucial southern referendum next year.
But two major political parties, including the southerners, decided to pull out fully or partially from the race, saying the process lacks credibility and was flawed from the start.
They called for a delay of the vote to address their concerns. The government refused.
Many of Sudan''s 16 million (m) registered voters, especially in the south where the war raged, have never experience competitive elections before.
"I have never voted in my life," South Sudan''s President Salva Kiir said after casting his vote in a polling station in Juba, the southern capital.
Kiir said he wished these elections laid the ground work for democracy in the country where military coups have been recurrent.

In January 2011, southern Sudanese voters in Sudan and eight diaspora countries voted in a referendum to decide whether southern Sudan would remain united with northern Sudan, or secede and form an independent nation - a choice guaranteed to them in the 2005 Comprehensive Peace Agreement that ended Sudan's 22-year, north-south civil war. This USAID video explores the referendum process, for which USAID provided comprehensive assistance, and the significant hurdles that had to be overcome for the referendum to begin on time and be considered a credible process by Sudanese and the international community.

During a meeting with South Sudan President Salva Kiir in Moscow, Russian president Vladimir Putin demonstrated how to put on an earpiece that would provide a translation of their conversation.
The footage released by Zvezda News shows Kiir struggling to put the device on. “Like this,” Putin was quoted as saying when he showed Kiir how to place the device on top of his ear. The meeting took place on Thursday, September 28, during an official state visit, Putin’s office said.

(29 Jun 1972) RR7226A: SOUTH SUDAN: PROBLEMS OF THE PEACE
CUTS AVAILABLE: SEE STORY Z024241
Early in 1972, the central government of Sudan and
representatives of the so-called Anya-nya rebels
signed a peace agreement that ended 17 years of civil
war in South Sudan. The Anya-nya, drawn from the 5
million strong Negro minority in Sudan, had been
fighting for their own state in the South, claiming this
was the only way to free themselves from the
domination of Sudan's Arab majority. What they will
now get is an autonomous region, with its own
parliament, that will remain in a new Sudanese
federation. Over half a million died in the war, mostly
from starvation. Another one million fled into the
bush, and a further 200,000 are in refugee camps in
neighbouring countries. These people now want to
return and only a vast programme of international aid
can overcome the problems of their resettlement. If
this aid is not quickly forthcoming, frustration and
disappointment could undermine Sudan's fragile
peace.

Sudan's progress on organising a key referendum on the future of the south is too slow - according to those instrumental in ending decades of civil war in the country.
Will the vote in January be a referendum that can go either way in Africa's largest state, or is it just a formality before the declaration of independence for the south of Sudan?

Preparations have already begun for a referendum that will take place in two years time to decide whether Sudan should split in two.
The oil-rich south is seeking autonomy from the Khartoum government in the north.
Southerners will have the chance to vote for secession in the referendum but there is confusion over the rights of those who fled to the north during the country's 22-year civil war.
They are being told they will have to return home if they want to vote.

On December 19, 2018, protests broke out in small cities throughout Sudan amid an economic crisis, eventually reaching the country's capital, Khartoum. These protests posed the biggest challenge to Sudan's longest-serving dictator, Omar al-Bashir, who throughout his regime did everything he could to remain in power. Bashir relied on various security sectors to protect him from being overthrown. However, his plan ultimately failed on April 11, 2019, when the country's army, the Sudanese Armed Forces, and a paramilitary force, the Rapid Support Forces, sided with the protesters and carried out a military coup, toppling Bashir.
The end of Bashir's regime brought hope to the protesters, but they remained skeptical about the men who had overthrown him. SAF’s Abdel Fattah Burhan and RSF’s Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo (aka Hemeti) took control of the country after the coup and made repeated promises to hand over power to civilians, which would put Sudan on a democratic path. But they continuously delayed fulfilling their promises and instead turned against each other, vying for power in Sudan. The two men have brutally interrupted Sudan’s pro-democracy revolution.
The fighting between the two men's forces started out in Sudan's capital, Khartoum, and spread all over the country. Recent ceasefire breakdowns have led to more bursts of violence, especially in Darfur, a region still reeling from the aftermath of a genocide at the hands of Bashir's regime.
Watch the latest episode of Atlas to understand how their feud has undermined the democratic aspirations of the protesters and put Sudan at risk of a civil war.

(Question: Are you sir, convinced that these are going to be free and fair elections?)
"Well we don''t know yet. We hope so. I think all the participating parties, even those who are withdrawing from a national level, I think they want to see a peaceful transition and peace in this country. So I don''t think there''s any party that is threatening any sort of disturbance or violence or intimidation of voters. It would be to their detriment in the long run if they did so. So we do expect, are hopeful and believe there will be a peaceful election."

And I hope it will be the foundation for future democracy in our country so that power is transferred from person to person by peaceful means in a state of military coups."

STORYLINE:
Sudan, Africa''s largest state, voted on Sunday in its first competitive elections in nearly a quarter century despite partial boycotts by the opposition and calls to delay the vote.
In Khartoum, turnout was lighter than expected in the first few hours of voting, aside from a few enthusiastic supporters of President Omar al-Bashir.
Al-Bashir, who came to power in a military coup in 1989, also cast his vote in Khartoum. It is the first time he is running for re-election in a multiparty race.
Security was tight around polling stations and trucks loaded with uniformed security were deployed around the capital.
The elections, which will run through Tuesday, are an essential part of a 2005 peace deal that ended the north-south war that killed two million (m) people over 21 years.
They are designed to kick-start a democratic transformation in the war-plagued nation and provide a democratically elected government to prepare for a crucial southern referendum next year.
But two major political parties, including the southerners, decided to pull out fully or partially from the race, saying the process lacks credibility and was flawed from the start.
They called for a delay of the vote to address their concerns. The government refused.
Many of Sudan''s 16 million (m) registered voters, especially in the south where the war raged, have never experience competitive elections before.
"I have never voted in my life," South Sudan''s President Salva Kiir said after casting his vote in a polling station in Juba, the southern capital.
Kiir said he wished these elections laid the ground work for democracy in the country where military coups have been recurrent.

In January 2011, southern Sudanese voters in Sudan and eight diaspora countries voted in a referendum to decide whether southern Sudan would remain united with northern Sudan, or secede and form an independent nation - a choice guaranteed to them in the 2005 Comprehensive Peace Agreement that ended Sudan's 22-year, north-south civil war. This USAID video explores the referendum process, for which USAID provided comprehensive assistance, and the significant hurdles that had to be overcome for the referendum to begin on time and be considered a credible process by Sudanese and the international community.

In a move to end civil war in Africa's youngest nation, South Sudan rebels and government representatives held their first meeting.
The rival factions are expected to create a transitional government of a peace plan signed in August.
The Head of the East African mediators in a statement warned the delegates of "rhetoric and empty words" during the meeting
"Let us ensure that this is not an empty gesture just for the cameras," said Festus Mogae, former President of Botswana. "I sincerely hope …

Southern Sudan Autonomous Region (2005–11)
Southern Sudan (Arabic: حكومة جنوب السودان Ḥukūmatu Janūbi s-Sūdān) was an autonomous region consisting of the ten southern states of Sudan between its formation in July 2005 and independence as the Republic of South Sudan in July 2011. The autonomous government was initially established in Rumbek and later moved to Juba. It was bordered by Ethiopia to the east; Kenya, Uganda, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo to the south; and the Central African Republic to the west. To the north lies the predominantly Arab and Muslim region directly under the control of the central government. The region's autonomous status was a condition of a peace agreement between the Sudan People's Liberation Army/Movement (SPLA/M) and the Government of Sudan represented by the National Congress Party ending the Second Sudanese Civil War. The conflict was Africa's longest running civil war.
History
Egypt, under the rule of Khedive Isma'il Pasha, first attempted to colonise the region in the 1870s, establishing the province of Equatoria in the southern portion. Egypt's first governor was Samuel Baker, commissioned in 1869, followed by Charles George Gordon in 1874 and by Emin Pasha in 1878. The Mahdist War of the 1880s destabilised the nascent province, and Equatoria ceased to exist as an Egyptian outpost in 1889. Important settlements in Equatoria included Lado, Gondokoro, Dufile and Wadelai. In 1947, British hopes to join the southern part of Sudan with Uganda were dashed by the Juba Conference, to unify northern and southern Sudan.
