Abstract

Cet essai esquisse l'impasse militaire et diplomatique dans le Soudan à partir de 1955 et jusqu'au présent; mais les événements de la dernière décade sont centrals. Aujourd'hui le gouvernement parait déterminé coûte que coûte à s'accrocher au pouvoir. Mais l'opposition du Soudan du Nord a tenté de trouver une réconciliation avec leurs ennemis du Sud qui maintiennent l'équilibre du pouvoir entre les forces opposées, grâce à l'expérience de leurs forces militaires. Cette histoire de négociations sans résultat pendant la dernière décennie semble seulement mener à une résolution sur le champ de bataille, entre des ennemis trop faibles pour aboutir à une victoire. This essay traces the military and diplomatic stalemate in the Sudan from 1955 to the present, with special attention directed to events of the past decade. Today, the Sudan government appears determined to maintain itself in power at whatever cost. Yet the Northern Sudanese opposition has sought a reconciliation with their former enemies from the South who with their experienced military forces now hold the balance of power within the opposition forces. The history of the abortive negotiations during this past decade appears only to lead to a resolution on the field of battle which cannot be accomplished by enemies too weak to vanquish one another.
