Leading experts on Sudanese politics will gather at Emory University to discuss the political and economic challenges that have emerged following South Sudan’s declaration of statehood in July 2011. The dialogue, “Conflict in Sudan and South Sudan: Regional and International Perspectives on Sudan and South Sudan Since Independence,” is co-hosted by Emory’s Institute for Developing Nations and The Carter Center’s Conflict Resolution Program.
Diplomats, political advisors and scholars will provide insights on the complex relationships that have developed between Sudan and South Sudan, the ongoing military and oil-related disputes, and the ultimate regional and global implications of South Sudan’s independence.
