PART TWO: BRIEF CIVIL WAR SUMMARY
 
          In February 1953, the UK and Egypt made an agreement providing for Sudanese self-government and self-determination. With the consent of the British and Egyptian Governments, Sudan achieved independence on January 1, 1956.  
          The British failure to ensure equity for both the north and the south would have lasting effects. The Arab-led Khartoum government went back on their promises to southerners and created a federal system, which led to a rebellion by Southern troops in the Equatoria Province. Feeling cheated, these separatist Southerners began an initially low-intensity civil war aimed at establishing an independent South. This war would last seventeen years, from 1955 to 1972.
          For 17 years, the southern region experienced civil strife. This constant state of rebellion within a group against the central government was suspended in 1972 after the signing of the Addis Ababa Accords granting southern Sudan wide regional self-governing community on internal matters. This led to a period of ten years of hiatus in the civil war.

PART THREE: WHAT WE WATCHED IN CLASS
 
          In class we continued to watch the movie "God Grew Tired Of Us".  America had allowed for some of the Lost Boys to come to America.  The government arranged for them to come to America by flight and live in an apartment.  In the three months of grace period they had to go to their job and make money and live on their own.  After the three months the boys had to pay back the government for the plane ride to America which is pretty expensive.
