Der Sudan zwischen autoritärer Militärdiktatur und Staatszerfall

The Sudan between authoritarian military dictatorship and failed state
[journal article]

Abstract

'Der Sudan ist ein Beispiel für den drohenden Staatszerfall als Folge eines (langfristig gescheiterten) Versuchs der Errichtung einer autoritären bis totalitären zentralistischen Staatsform, die es weder verstand, regionale Interessen und Klasseninteressen auszugleichen, noch integrativ auf untersch... view more

'Der Sudan ist ein Beispiel für den drohenden Staatszerfall als Folge eines (langfristig gescheiterten) Versuchs der Errichtung einer autoritären bis totalitären zentralistischen Staatsform, die es weder verstand, regionale Interessen und Klasseninteressen auszugleichen, noch integrativ auf unterschiedliche Ideologien, 'ethnische Gruppen', tribale Einheiten und Religionsgemeinschaften zu wirken. Ziel des Beitrages ist es nicht nur, die Ursachen und Entwicklungen des jahrzehntelangen bewaffneten Konfliktes im Sudan zu untersuchen, sondern auch, parastaatliche Akteure als solche zu analysieren und in einen regionalen Kontext einzubinden. Dabei wird der Bürgerkrieg im Sudan, entgegen dem in Europa weit verbreiteten Mythos von einem Krieg zwischen islamischen NordsudanesInnen und christlichen SüdsudanesInnen, auch mit Blick auf seine ökonomischen und machtpolitischen Aspekte untersucht. Sowohl die verschiedenen Gruppen der südsudanesischen Guerilla SPLA, die im Darfur (Westsudan) aktiven SLA und JEM wie auch die Partei- und Stammesmilizen auf Regierungsseite sind dabei als parastaatliche Akteure zu behandeln.'

'The political history of the Sudan can be read as an example of a state being at high risk becoming a failing state. This situation has occurred on the background of repeated (and - in the long run - not 'successful') attempts to establish an authoritarian/ totalitarian centralised state, which failed to re-balance and ease regional and class interests as well as to have integrative effects regarding different ideologies and 'ethnic', tribal and religious groups. The aim of this article is not only to analyse the causes and the development of the armed conflict in Sudan, which has been persisting for several decades. It as well targets at examining the role of para-state organizations in a specific regional context. Doing this, the civil war in Sudan has to be analysed on the background of its economic context and respective power relations. Most important, the war in Sudan should not be understood as a religious conflict alone (as the - at least in Europe - wide spread myth of a war between Islamic Northern-Sudan and Christian Southern-Sudan suggests). Here, apart from others, the diverse groups of the South-Sudanese guerilla SPLA, the SLA and JEM in Dafur as well as tribal and partisan forces supporting the government are relevant para-state powers and organizations.'
