The Civil War in Sudan

This on-going civil war has displaced more than 4 million southerners. The first bullet was fired in 1983, and from then, until now, 1.9 million Sudanese people have died.
It first started between the Northern and Southern Sudanese people, and still continues today.  It has been interpreted as a religious conflict coming from the differences between Muslims and Christians, or Arabs and Africans.
It is a great challenge to spread Christianity throughout Sudan, especially in the Southern part, and therefore, the war is still going on.  This war has been going on since 1955, making it possibly the longest civil war in history.  They have a second civil war, that was first started in 1983, but these 2 civil wars, were back to back, making it one.
