Sudan

Women from Kajo-Keji in South Sudan, who have been refugees, are now rebuilding their lives, with CAFOD's help [Rob Rees]

Africa’s largest country contains a huge diversity of communities and landscapes, and struggles to hold together as one nation-state

The people have suffered terribly from long and bloody civil wars which has created millions of refugees - many from South Sudan have now returned home, but maintenance of the fragile peace between the northern and southern states is difficult.

Chance of the peace holding is threatened particularly over the allocation of Sudan’s sizeable oil wealth – meanwhile, in the west, efforts to end the conflict there continue, with communities of Darfur still suffering.

CAFOD spent £3,496,000 in Sudan in 2008/09

We work right across this vast country helping those affected by conflict, building justice and peace, tackling the spread of HIV, and providing clean water and education.

What was the Climate Justice campaign calling for, what did we get and what really happened?
