Human Security in the Sudan. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, Oct 2009, Pages: 72
Since early 2003, the people of Darfur witnessed vicious rounds of campaigns and counter campaigns that claimed and continue to claim the lives of hundreds of civilians and forced about two million people to leave their homes in search of security. Accordingly, the government of Sudan in its policies and actions has fueled the humanitarian catastrophe in Darfur and successfully undermined the endeavor to mitigate and resolve the crisis. Apparently, Khartoum which is entrusted with the responsibility to protect its citizens behaved other wise and become security threat to the people of Darfur. Here, the crisis in Darfur might provide a sufficient opportunity for a more serious and pragmatic assessment of the practicality of state-centered approach to security. This book, therefore, undoubtedly makes a signification contribution to the on going debate on [human] security. Furthermore, the book looks at the possible correlation between various security approaches pursued by governments and their respective feasibleness or dilemmas in relation to mitigating the plight of civilians taking Darfur as a case point.
