with the Sudanese government and
said that the African Union, an
organization of 53 African coun
tries, had done little to aid the
victims of Darfur.
Rwanda was the only African
country that volunteered to send
soldiers to Sudan, but the African
Union was unable to pay for the sol
diers to travel to Darfur, even
though most African leaders have
personal yachts, Jok said.
Jok believes peace remains possi
ble in Sudan even without much
international involvement.
The shift in international politics
following the terrorist attacks of
Sept. 11, 2001, has made the Su
danese government uncertain, leav
ing the door open to negotiating
peace, Jok said.
Jok said Sudan’s fragmented
identity, the product of colonialism
and years of war, would make a
unified state nearly impossible.
“Every ethnic group is a nation
but not a nation-state,” he said. “I
don’t see Sudan ever remaining a
single country.”
In order to resolve the situation,
Jok said, greater international
involvement will be necessary.
Stephen Wooten, the director of
the African Studies Program at the
University and professor of anthro
pology and international studies,
appreciated that Jok challenged his
audience to become more aware of
and involved with African issues.
The African Studies Program
has created the Baobab Lecture
Jok Madut Jok, an associate professor of history at Loyola Marymount University,
presented his lecture, "Slavery, civilian killings, rape and other violations as
counterinsurgency tactics in Sudan's conflicts, 1983-2005."
series with funding from a U.S.
Department of Education Title
VI program grant, in order to bring
students and faculty together to
learn about Africa and become re
sources to the community on
African-related issues.
The Baobab Lecture series gets
its name from the Baobab tree, a
tree found in many parts of Africa
that often serves as a gathering
place for villagers.
