Ticks infesting animals in the Sudan and southern Sudan: Past and current status

In this review, we collate information about ticks identified in different parts of the Sudan and South Sudan since 1956 in order to identify gaps in tick prevalence and create a map of tick distribution. This will avail basic data for further research on ticks and policies for the control of tick-borne diseases. In this review, we discuss the situation in the Republic of South Sudan as well as Sudan. For this purpose we have divided Sudan into four regions, namely northern Sudan (Northern and River Nile states), central Sudan (Khartoum, Gazera, White Nile, Blue Nile and Sennar states), western Sudan (North and South Kordofan and North, South and West Darfour states) and eastern Sudan (Red Sea, Kassala and Gadarif states).

This paper focuses on the nationality and citizenship crisis in post-separation Sudan. The paper argues that the unresolved issues in the agreement, especially the issue of nationality and citizenship are serious threats to the stability of the new state of South Sudan. Both North Sudan and South Sudan have demonstrated a lack of political will to resolve the nationality and citizenship problem. This explains why they were not able to adopt a common legal framework that will help to address the age-long problem instead of each adopting new nationality laws. The paper adopts the historical and institutional-legalistic approach in the discourse to situate the problem. It argues therefore, that the citizenship problem will continue in a system that is stratified along ethnic/racial and religious lines as epitomized in Sudan. We conclude that it is the resolution of outstanding issues of nationality and citizenship question that will help to sharpen the pattern of state-ethnic relations in the separated countries of north and south Sudan. With independence granted to Southern Sudan, the crisis of citizenship remains both in the north and the south.

From four different locations in Sudan namely, Aboharaz (Central Sudan), Port – Sudan (Eastern Sudan) , Algaab (Western Sudan) and Ombal (Southern Sudan) three quartz rocks samples from each location were collected; All samples were analyzed to determine the concentration of Gold (Au(III)), Iron (Fe (III) and Sulphate(SO4-2). Atomic absorption spectrometry technique was used to determine the concentrations of Gold and Iron ,while that of Sulphate has been determined by the use of spectrometry technique. All samples showed positive correlation between gold and sulphate concentration except those collected from Port – Sudan, in addition a negative correlation between gold and iron concentration has been observed in all samples.
