The Nuba Mountains got involved in the Southern war primarily over land issues... but I think you also have to see it from the perspective of the central government, trying to economically plan and meeting resistance from landowners... but anyhow, we can talk about this tomorrow! :)Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03910866468847559392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372931622336699440.post-79633344626746201512010-01-20T09:10:23.892-08:002010-01-20T09:10:23.892-08:00Excellent analysis...And indeed it is more beautif...Excellent analysis...And indeed it is more beautiful than anything anyone is likely to see.....<br />The one you've interviewed has had enough from it. It seems to me based on what you've written is that he did not find what you've described as "cunning ways". Several ministers of Agriculture have been passing on this position and yet we still import 40% of the overall wheat...WHY?..<br />During the journey from Sinkat(Portsudan) to Khartoum earlier this month, I shared a seat with a farmer who has a medium-size land at Aljazeera project, He told me about what happened at Aljazeera project and how the government's greedy has caused the death of it. He also told me that if the independence had been delayed for just 5 years all the water channels would have been in concrete and no alluvium would have damaged the land!!. 54 years have passed and still channels are made of mud and alluvium blocks watering the far-away land.<br />Despite the acclamations all over sudan about "Agriculture is the real oil" which is become a slogan, yet they did nothing towards it. All what they did is that inviting the egyptians, the chinese and sometimes turkis to come and farm our land.. If they are questioning the sudanese farmers, they should put in their minds that Aljazeera project on it's greatest days, when it was the spine of Sudan's economy was run by sudanese.. So, whose to be blamed?... Agriculture the only way out for us... I hope on someday they make some actions instead of words !!!<br /><br />Laura, I know I'm off-point here.... but i just find myself concentrating on agriculture... Sorry and just to let you know I really enjoy your posts. :)<br /><br />Taha,Tahahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18055623214667743004noreply@blogger.com
