Sudan : a nation in the balance

Each book in Oxfam's "Country Profiles" series describes the social, political, historical, environmental and economic context of Oxfam's work in one particular country.

The books focus on the real lives of ordinary people and the major development issues that face them, and are illustrated with photographs, maps and diagrams.

Drawing on Oxfam's experience of working with groups affected on all sides of the conflict in Sudan, this work illustrates the tenacity and resourcefulness of ordinary people - and explains the background to one of the least-understood conflicts in modern Africa.
