Sudan has been engaged in a civil war for the past 17 years, which has resulted in nearly 2 million deaths from war-related famine, disease and casualties. Four million people (nearly 80%) of the southern Sudanese population has been forced to flee their home at one time or another. By launching a national campaign, USCR hopes to activate Americans and generate grass-roots support for an appropriate U.S. government response to humanitarian needs in Sudan and U.S. leadership to energize ongoing peace negotiations. USCR's campaign includes a national speaking tour by executive director Roger Winter and the release of a paper, Follow the Women and the Cows: Personal Stories of Sudan's Uprooted People, which reveals the devastation caused by Sudan's civil war by telling the personal stories of more than 20 individuals and their families. Facts About Sudan More than 1.9 million people in south and central Sudan have died in the past 17 years as a result of Sudan's civil war. At least one out of every five southern Sudanese has died because of the 17-year civil war. This massive loss of life surpasses the civilian death toll in any war since World War II. Sudan's civil war is the longest ongoing civil war in the world. Over 4 million southern Sudanese have been forced to flee their homes and have become "internally displaced." Sudan has produced more internally displaced people than any other country on earth. More than 80 percent of southern Sudan's population has been displaced at least once, and often repeatedly, since 1983. Nearly 500,000 southern Sudanese have fled Sudan and are now refugees in other countries. There were an estimated 70,000 war-related deaths in the war-produced famine of 1998. More than 1.7 million people now face food shortages in Sudan. Slave raids are occurring on a regular basis in parts of the South. Aerial bombardment by the Sudanese government, including the bombing of schools, hospitals, and relief centers, is increasing throughout southern Sudan.
