| Abstract: | The cause of the Southern problem in Sudan is the inequality which exists between North and South by reason of an uneven economic, social and cultural development, which had its beginnings in the first half of the nineteenth century when the Turko-Egyptian administration introduced the slave trade into the Sudan. Under British rule the gap widened. Since independence, and right up to May 1969, the tragedy of the South is that Southern leaders commanding majority support have persistently maintained alliances with landlordbig business groups in the North, forces which were never genuine on the solution of the Southern problem. The article is the text of a lecture given by the author, an educated and progressive Southerner, sometime Minister for Southern Affairs in Khartum, at a meeting in the British House of Commons on 16 April 1970. |
