Darfur and the Crisis of Governance of Sudan

Addis Ababa, Ethiopia

Organized by the Institute of Ethiopian Studies, Addis Ababa University and Africana Studies and Research Center Cornell University

"Darfur and the Crisis of Governance in Sudan" is an international conference  that will bring together leading scholars, civil society members, and activists who are involved in proactively addressing the situation in Darfur and Sudan more generally. In conjunction with the forthcoming edited volume, Darfur and the Crisis of Governance in Sudan: A Critical Reader, this conference consists of a broad range of presentations that explore and analyze  the historical, geo-political, military, social, environmental, and economic roots of the conflict, and reflect on the contemporary realities that shape the experiences of those living in the region. It is our hope that this kind of cross-dialogue will foster a comprehensive, yet nuanced understanding of the root causes, manifestations, and implications of the ongoing conflict, and help generate more informed prospects for a just and comprehensive resolution of the conflict.
