Carleton Connects: Noah Salomon on conflict in the Sudans
From site: Carleton Connects
Join Noah Salomon, Associate Professor of Religion, for a discussion of war and peace in the Sudans.
This event took place on January 31, 2019. A recording of the event is not available.
Conflict in the republics of Sudan and South Sudan has been explained by pointing to a variety of culprits from religious bigotries, to ethnic hatreds, to tribal chauvinisms. Salomon will discuss why none of these frames adequately explains the persistence of violence there, as well as why recent efforts towards peace have equally planted the seeds of war.
