In this regard, the main fault can be attributed to the ruling elite because: "Primary responsibility for assisting and protecting internally displaced persons rests with their own governments. Should governments prove unable or unwilling to discharge this responsibility, however, governments are expected to invite or at least accept international assistance for ensuring the welfare and security of internally displaced persons" ('Internally displaced persons' 2012). Nevertheless, it is also clear that the international community has a moral obligation to stop this violence and assist the people who are already disaffected by its impact.
There have been some efforts to enlist the support of neighboring countries to help the SPLA consolidate its power, but the stated mission of this organization may make some neighboring countries headed by autocratic rulers nervous in the post-Arab Spring environment, but Nilsson reports that many have lined up in support of the SPLA anyway. In this regard Nilsson advises that, "In 1996 the SPLA joined the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), which is a coalition of political opposition groups. Ethiopia, Eritrea and Uganda supported this alliance, which has one unitary goal -- to overthrow the government of the Sudan" (2000, p. 8). Unfortunately, the complexity of these interethnic conflicts and the apparent invisibility of the problem on the international community's radar have contributed to a lack of the effectiveness of the measures used to address these problems which are discussed further below.
Effectiveness of the Measures to Date
The Sudan is certainly not unique in the Middle East/North Africa region by virtue of experiencing ongoing violence and social unrest, but it does appear to be unique in defying the limited efforts by the international community to date in addressing them. For example, U.S. government analysts emphasize that, "Peacekeeping troops have struggled to stabilize the situation, which has become increasingly regional in scope and has brought instability to eastern Chad. Sudan also has faced large refugee influxes from neighboring countries primarily Ethiopia and Chad [see Figure 1 above]. Armed conflict, poor transport infrastructure, and lack of government support have chronically obstructed the provision of humanitarian assistance to affected populations" (Sudan Introduction 2012, p. 2). Likewise, just as the U.S. has been struggling to formulate effective foreign policy responses to the Arab Spring in the Middle East and North Africa, the ruling elite in...
Global Refugee Regime Seems to Be Veering Away From Traditional Rules As the threat of war looms large, the situation of those displaced because of violence and fights is becoming the focal point of talks amidst humanitarian groups. Many wrote about the situation in Afghanistan. The last many years have brought about quite a lot of enormous "refugee movements and humanitarian emergencies." More than 50 million people have been displaced by
Translational Migration Transnational Migration In this contemporary world of ours, transnational movements have become farther, quicker, unproblematic, simpler and more frequent phenomena than ever. The terms "place" and "home" have now been converted into apprehensive, time and uncertain dogmas (Warshall). It has been witnessed in the last several decades that a colossal number of people have moved to other nations as a consequence of fiscal and political transformations or social turmoil in their

A further assessment was done on civilian displacement and the number of deaths was estimated on excess of the expected. 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
Racism in Israel: Israeli Jews to Ethiopian Jews What is considered to be the main cause of the selected political issue (i.e., history, culture, etc.)? With the high rise of racism throughout the world, Israel has contributed to the racism towards the influx of Ethiopian Jews migrating to their alleged homeland. Ethiopians had little to no exposure to Jews outside of Ethiopia; hence, were not educated of the other Jews in the
Immigration in Europe The issue of immigration in Europe has become one of the pressing subject matters especially for governments within the European Union. In contrast to the United States which has experienced immigration for centuries, for Europe this issue is of a recent demographic inclination since the past five decades or so. There are several migrants who make an attempt to move into Europe and settle there. This particular paper
