About this Book

"Famines in Sudan put about 2.6 million out of 27 million people at risk of starvation in 1998, during the fifteenth year of the civil war. These famines were caused by human rights abuses by all parties to the conflict. Government militias and army forces conducted scorched earth campaigns against civilians, including displacing or capturing them for slavery in the Bahr El Ghazal region, and blockading all relief and resettling them in peace camps in the Nuba Mountains"--Back cover.
