Notes
The author's field work when he supervised Operation Lifeline to Sudan, commissioned by the Relief and Reconstruction Commission in his country, was one of the main reasons that prompted engineer Muhammad al-Fateh Awad Majzoub Ibrahim to write this book. It is known that this operation was launched at the beginning of April 1989, and it is a humanitarian operation with global specificity. The world has never known a state to allow the distribution of humanitarian aid to citizens stranded in areas under the control of armed movements rebellious against its authorities, so the state gave up its sovereignty according to a humanitarian perspective, which is what happened in this case, the subject of the study, a precedent in the history of modern countries. Sudan had experienced massive droughts that resulted in comprehensive desertification that devastated the green and dry land. During that time, it experienced floods that were no less devastating than drought, all of this during three consecutive decades starting from 1980 to 2010. These climate disasters coincided with a serious security deterioration represented by the ignition of civil wars that began in southern Sudan, spreading their contagion in the west, east, and center of the country. The Darfur region had a greater share of this climate and security crisis. This region experienced complex disasters, some of which were natural and some were security and political, and these are crises in which Sudan shared with other African countries. Perhaps this is what prompted some international relief agencies to develop this approach of coordinating with the Sudanese state in order to provide relief to afflicted people who fall in an area not necessarily controlled by the central state in Khartoum. The basic document for Operation Lifeline was signed in Khartoum on March 3, 1989, and the Sudanese government signed it on the one hand, along with international bodies such as UNICEF and the World Food Programme. One of the repercussions of this document and its subsequent applications - as the author explained - was that we are facing a new era in Sudan’s history in which diplomatic pressure efforts were combined with humanitarian aid towards reformulating the political reality that has existed since the establishment of the state. Understanding and reading the interaction of humanitarian principles and the assistance and care they require with political wills is the subject of this book, as Operation Lifeline (1989-2010) constituted the subject of the study. The author, Engineer Muhammad Al-Fateh, analyzed and evaluated the policies of the parties concerned with humanitarian activity in Sudan and the shadows it left on the overall situation in the country during successive governments, highlighting the impact of this on the rebel movements, as well as the author’s follow-up of the efforts of international and continental organizations, donors and civil society in this issue. The book was a monitoring and study of human-political interaction in the context of the political and security crises that Sudan has experienced. -- Bibliography: p. 139-142
