TG went over a bit more of test planning and stuff, before doing maps. My group, Rwanda, continued and finished our presentation. The final presentation went, South Sudan vs. Sudan.
Parties involved - Arab-Muslims, Christians, Sudanese government vs. the Sudan people liberation army. Most of the liberation people where part of the UMMA Party.
What happened - There were two civil wars, fighting due to oil revenues and religion. Most of the oil is in South Sudan. South Sudan is more Christian.
Why - They are fighting because they want the oil land, religious beliefs, and power. They also want religious freedom.
There was a peace treaty active for six years before it didn't work out. Oil revenues were divided evenly between the two countries to attempt to stop fighting. Britain went in and tried to stop the mutiny without taking sides. They didn't do much because they didn't want to lose more troops than necessary. In total South Sudan lost 2.5 million people in this battle.
Currently, the South is poor, and North Sudan is still trying to take oil.
