"Southern Sudan is reawakening and rebuilding. A Jan. 9 [2005] peace deal ended Africa's longest civil war--a conflict between north and south in which 2 million died. The first signs of normalcy are appearing: Children, even girls, are going to school--many for the first time....Some are starting to see a life beyond the battlefield. And commerce is coming back." (CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR) This article examines life in post-civil war Sudan, noting the improvements already noticed in communications, trade and the education system.
