Following its independence in 1956, the Northerners gained control of the country seeking to form a united Islamic Sudan. This created considerable conflict with the Southerners who chose to worship God in their own way. As a result, the North declared a holy jihad against the South, beginning a civil war that would last over two decades. rob.cipriano@gmail.com (Rob Cipriano) Tue, 26 May 2009 20:21:49 GMT
