Abstract

The crisis of Greater Darfur Region of Sudan was amplified by global news media all over the world. Civil conflict erupted, developed into armed rebellion and open uncontrolled civil war that enveloped the whole region. Many sources estimated the resultant lost lives at over 300,000 individual while the Sudanese government sources estimated them at 10,000. Displaced at refugees numbered over 3 millions and there were massive destruction of the scanty infrastructure in the region. Many reasons for the conflicts were given, however, most agree on that underdevelopment, lack of governmental plans to improve life, health, education and human capital were the true reasons. In the current paper we present some information on the whole country per se and then discuss some reasons and logics of previous development structure, deficiencies and mismanagement or ill-conceptions.

Keywords: Sudan, Greater Darfur Region, Underdevelopment, Conlict, Human Capital
