Britain colonized Sudan in 1881 and joined in colonizing it with the Egyptians in the yr. 1899 They closed their doors to each other so that the cultures wouldn't inter mix and blend in there nationalities. The rule between egypt and the brits would have been interesting and a little unnerving I admit. to completely different cultures thrust on you like that. I know that they stayed that way for several years between they gained their independence. The two cultures of the single country were quiet different the arabs and the more african people. the two have completely different live styles. and in some ways maybe it was a good thing that they didn't intermix thing of all the problems from the different live styles.
Things changed however in the year 1956 Sudan gained their independence and there was problems. The closed door policy was abandoned and the pieces started to fall. the Arabs had the main power and the more african people had to bend to there Islamic ways. people who refused were treated badly, rights they should have had they were denied.
Religion... why is it one of the main reasons for war? people started to face many problems in the world.
When the military coup caused a loss of what little power the country sustained people were displaced and tried leaving Sudan there was 30000 and in the end 16000 the loss is almost half of them, it really is quite sicking.
What would I do? if the cultures don't mix, can't mix and can't get along without trying to force their believes on the other group? Separate it would be the only option because if you don't they will continually have a civil war. end it before it begins.
