DESCRIPTION:The recent military confrontations between the newly independe
 nt South Sudan and Sudan raise questions as to why intensive peacemaking a
 nd peacebuilding interventions in this troubled region have not brought an
  end to war. The focus has been on oil and border demarcations\, yet viole
 nt conflict is occurring at multiple interlocking levels too often hidden 
 from view.\n\n* What is the likelihood of military escalation into wholesa
 le war between the two Sudans?\n* Why did the Thabo Mbeki led AU High Leve
 l Panel mediation effort fail?\n* How do more 'local' conflicts in the Blu
 e Nile\, Nuba Mountains\, Abyei\, Darfur\, Jonglei and Upper Nile regions 
 relate to this interstate crisis?\n* Where and how have peacemaking and pe
 acebuilding in the Sudans failed?\n\nThe CGHR roundtable will explore thes
 e and other questions.\n\nSpeakers:\n\nDr Sarah Nouwen - University Lectur
