Civil war in Sudan

  • The civil war in Sudan first started in 1955 to 1972 known as The First Sudanese Civil War. The south and north Sudan demanded more regional autonomy. 500,000 people died in this civil war. Also, the agreement ended the fight in 1972 but failed to completely dispel the tensions that originally caused the The Second civil war in 1983- 2005. The second civil war was called Second Sudanese Civil War. This civil war is known for the deadliest wars of the later 20th century. There was known to be 1.9 million civilians killed in southern sudan. More than 4 million Southerns fleed. The war recently ended with a peace treaty in January 2005.

Movie questions 1

  1. Their is a civil that is going on in Sudan.
  2. The government in Ethiopia crashed and caused the people to move again.
  3. The refugee camp seemed to be in bad shape. The reason of this was their on a desert type land. Also, they couldn't feed each other because theirs not enough food. They did other things like building a Parliament in groups to organize themselves. On days called black out there wouldn't be food for days/weeks/months which was a very hard time.

Part 1When college is over I would want the choice to move to Italy. I would make this decision because Italians have a unique foods and very famous foods I like. Some examples are the pastas and pizzas they have. I would Also like to move there because I find Italian women very attractive people. Other reason I wanna go to Italy is because I like the way the land is formed over mountains and hills. The pull factors of Italy is there economy seems to being very good. Also, I like all the awesome artifacts and unique places that Italy has. Push forces are large numbers of Italians have been opposed of fascism. Also, Italy is overcrowded in parts. The downside to moving to Italy is that my whole family lives in United States in Maryland. I would hate not to see my family. Also, I would miss football and the cool sports America has. Some advantages of moving to Italy is I could countinue my dream of being a chief.
Part 2
My family tree from my mom side is that My grandparents where from Greece and migrated to the United States in California. My grandfather was born in greece but migrated with my grandparents to United States to California. My mom is from Maryland along with her two sisters. My dad was adopted and really didnt know his parents and basically grew up on his own.
