    Reconciliation Process: A Concern Ministry for Southern Sudan.
    (Tangaza University College, 2000-03) Silvio, Francis OKeny
    We are living in a world, whereby the human person wants to be in charge of everything, including his/her own existence and destiny. He/she pays little or no attention to the Supreme Being in his/her life. Once human life is destroyed it cannot be repaired. Over the last fifteen years in Sudan conflict has reigned among the different ethnic groups. The current civil war in the country has put in them easy access to arms that are meant for the political struggle from the oppressive Islamic regime in Khartoum. The struggle to overcome the oppressive regime has diverted the energies of the individuals and communities from development issues to war activities. The goal they had at independence is not yet achieved. What is important is the task of reconstructing the divided society. This can only be done through reconciliation process among the Sudanese communities. This reconciliation process cannot happen immediately; rather, the process is painful and slow. Part of that difficulty is the weight of the past experience, a burden compounded by memories of conflict, betrayal and ethnic hatred. The lifting of those burdens can only be achieved through reconciliation. This has been the researcher's dream even inspiring him into this work. The research focus is on the traditional reconciliation values taking into consideration the Christian values by analysing and comparing them and trying to find out what may not have been a help to the Sudanese in their Christian lives. This undertaking helps us understand whether Christian initiation took its proper root among Africans in their response to Christians. Or could it be that most Africans have not really understood it as it portrays enmity and not unity. We are scandalized as Christians, following the massacres among Christians in South Sudan, Burundi, Rwanda, Northern Uganda, Ethiopia and Eritrea among others. The research is divided according to the methodology recommended in SEE, JUDGE and ACT. Chapter One explains the motive, purpose and the objective of this full-scale project. It further explains the problem that motivated the researcher to carry out the research. In Chapter Two the writer reviews the problem in Sudan, the need of reconciliation process and some theological considerations. Chapter Three described the research location, the methodology used and how the data collection was carried out. Chapter Four explains the research data analysis, results, observation, suggestions, recommendations and comments. And lastly, the fifth chapter is the project proposal that is intended to solve ethnic and tribal conflict among the Sudanese.
