Data Analysis
The data was analyzed using the Quasi-Poisson models. This method was used to evaluate the mortality rates with an emphasis on the place of research and its timing. The number of displaced people in the survey was a variable to explain the trends. The projected mortality rates for future five periods were computed and analyzed against the civilian data obtained from the UN publications about the Darfur conflict. This was aimed at obtaining the number of deaths. We found that 63 out of 107 mortality rates surveys met the criteria to be used.
Result Findings and Discussion
The study established that there was a reduction in mortality rates between the periods of 2004 and 2008. This disparity was brought about by the deployment of humanitarian aid workers whom in their absence, mortality rates soared. A reduction in mortality rates was however observed to be more important to violence related deaths than for diseases. There was a direct co-relation between displacement and increased rate of deaths as a result of diseases. There was however a resultant decrease in number of deaths from displacement. A figure of 298,271was estimated to be the excess number of deaths.
We found out that mortality rate figures have been greatly used for political reasons hence the disparity between mortality rate figures of the government and other humanitarian bodies. The mortality rate figures of 2004 have been majorly as a result of the violence because it was at the inception of the war. 2005 mortality rate figures have majorly been as a result of diseases as the humanitarian crisis deepened. The most vulnerable population was the displaced because they didn't have access to any basic social amenities; therefore leaving them vulnerable to diseases....

Nimeiri also made Islamic law part of the penal code, which included public beatings for consuming alcohol and cutting off hands of people convicted of stealing. All Sudanese nationals, even non-Muslims were subject to this law. Nimeiri was eventually overthrown in a coup, but the Southern-Northern tensions remained, as the government continued to be dominated by Islamic supporters. Full-fledged civil conflict erupted again, and did not end until July 2002,
However, in the case of Sudan, it may be said that none of the above theories applies. This is largely due to the fact that there are specific internal factors which determine the orientation of the economy in a certain direction. These are most of the times related to the historical evolution of the country under discussion. In the Sudanese case, the end of the war and the independence from
