A vivid portrait of the president of the Justice and Equality Movement in Sudan (JEM), from his beginnings as a humble camel herder to his rise a major geopolitical figure, Darfur, JEM and the Khalil Ibrahim story also offers key insights for readers interested in African governance, political systems and state formation.

The Crooked Merchant of Khartoum
In The Crooked Merchant of Khartoum by Abdullahi El-Tom, we see a character going through, literally, a series of visions as he grows to embrace one challenge after another, some which test his ability to understand how he fits in as he becomes a kind of Dostoevskian Idiot who wants to meet the reality of others and the challenges that his own peculiar circumstances force upon him. Khareef Matar-Wadi, in the sweltering heat of Khartoum, must uncover who he is amidst the prejudicial regionalism, religious sectarianism and classism of Sudanese society
Bushara Suleiman Nour and the Zaghawa Aptitude for Trade
Unlike many publications on Africa, this book is not about failure. It is an uplifting story of success so rarely published. Based on research that covers several countries, this work analyses the emergence of the Zaghawa of Darfur as a powerful commercial force in Sudan and beyond. Until a few decades ago, the Zaghawa were nomads, living with camels and other desert animals. However, and unlike their neighbours who suffered, the Zaghawa persevered and prospered. This book is organised around the life of a single Zaghawa trader, allowing the reader to immerse themselves.
Study War No More
Study War No More offers a fascinating study of certain aspects of asymmetrical warfare in Africa, an angle rarely covered in literature on armed uprisings. In particular, it focuses on warfare strategies and military tactics deployed in combat. Engaging with high-profile commanders of the formidable rebel group, the Sudanese Justice and Equality Movement (JEM), the author proceeds to investigate a reality he finds most perplexing. Biographies of the commanders interviewed in the book show clearly that rebels are not born. They are a product of injustice.
The Origins of Ethnic Conflict in Africa
From Darfur to the Rwandan genocide, journalists, policymakers, and scholars have blamed armed conflicts in Africa on ancient hatreds or competition for resources. Here, Tsega Etefa compares three such cases—the Darfur conflict between Arabs and non-Arabs, the Gumuz and Oromo clashes in Western Oromia, and the Oromo-Pokomo conflict in the Tana Delta—in order to offer a fuller picture of how ethnic violence in Africa begins. Diverse communities in Sudan, Ethiopia, and Kenya alike have long histories of peacefully sharing resources, intermarrying, and resolving disputes. As he argues, ethnic conflicts are fundamentally political conflicts, driven by non-inclusive political systems, the monopolization of state resources, and the manipulation of ethnicity for political gain, coupled with the lack of democratic mechanisms for redressing grievances.
Darfur and the Crisis of Governance in Sudan
This book provides the most comprehensive, balanced, and nuanced account yet published of the Darfur conflict's roots and the contemporary realities that shape the experiences of those living in the region.
Saviours and Survivors
Saviours and Survivors is the first account of the Darfur crisis to consider recent events within the broad context of Sudan's history, and to examine the efficacy of the world's response to the ongoing violence. Illuminating the deeply rooted causes of the current conflict, Mamdani works from its colonial and Cold War origins to the war's intensification from the 1990s to the present day. Examining how the conflict has drawn in national, regional, and global forces, Mamdani deconstructs the powerful Western lobby's persistent calls for a military response dressed up as "humanitarian intervention". Incisive and authoritative, Saviours and Survivors will radically alter our understanding of the crisis in Darfur.
