DOHA: Al Jazeera Centre for Studies has announced that it will launch the book: Darfur: hasaad Al azma ba’d a’qdin mina azzaman” (Darfur: Harvest of the crisis after a decade) on the sidelines of the international conference it will organise on November 2-3 at St Regis Hotel in Doha, titled: “Africa: Dynamics of Conflict, Promises of Renaissance”. 

The book, co-authored by 12 specialised researchers, presents a holistic vision of the Darfur crisis, probing its roots, analysing the reality that has emerged on the ground over the past decade, and tracing the dynamics and repercussions of this situation.

These in-depth analysis of the crisis proved accurate and objective, providing a general review of the peace efforts and a deep analysis of the internal, external and structural factors (especially the state structure) that have influenced the trajectory of the crisis. The book offers suggestions that might bring about a quick solution to this long-running conflict. 

The book also brings up Darfur conflict as one of the crises in the African continent, highlighting several important issues that go in their significance beyond the local boundaries to tackle problems experienced in more than one place on the continent. The book sheds light on the overall crisis suffered by the Sudanese state regarding legitimacy and representation and the limits of its ability to absorb the numerous identities of the Sudanese population and address the challenges facing the country. 

Through its balanced approach and objective and diversified analysis, this book, co-edited by Dr Abdul Wahab Al Effendi and Dr Sidi Ahmed Ould Ahmed Salem, embodies the ambition of AlJazeera Network to create research platforms and venues for the exchange of ideas and in-depth debates on issues of concern to the Arab and African peoples linked to their destiny.
