Thomas Small：苏丹内战持续时间长，造成大量人员伤亡和流离失所，但国际社会关注度低，缺乏对冲突背后历史背景的了解。本播客将通过四集节目，结合苏丹历史，解释当前冲突的背景，从古代基督教时期到麦地运动，再到英国殖民时期，以及各方势力参与其中。 Eamon Dean：同意Thomas Small的观点，苏丹内战被忽视，需要更多关注。苏丹历史悠久，经历了多个时期，包括古代基督教时期、伊斯兰化时期、埃及和英国的征服时期等。这些历史事件塑造了苏丹的民族构成、文化和政治格局，对理解当前冲突至关重要。 Thomas Small：苏丹地理位置复杂，涵盖广阔区域，包括沙漠、山脉和尼罗河。苏丹北部居民肤色较浅，南部居民肤色较深，但两者之间存在千年的通婚。苏丹语言多样性丰富，拥有81种本土语言。这些地理和文化因素也对苏丹的政治和社会稳定造成了影响。 Eamon Dean：苏丹历史悠久，曾被古埃及征服，也曾建立自己的法老王朝。在公元四世纪开始基督教化，持续了六个世纪。努比亚的基督教王国抵抗穆斯林入侵长达千年，期间阿拉伯人在苏丹东部和红海山脉进行金矿开采，开启了长期的金矿开采历史。9世纪到16世纪之间，阿拉伯人多次迁移到苏丹东部红海沿岸地区，原因是饥荒、矿产资源、贸易和土地。中世纪时期，努比亚经济和文化逐渐衰落，伊斯兰教开始传播。16世纪初，努比亚出现第一个穆斯林王朝——丰吉苏丹国。丰吉苏丹国的统治王朝起源独特，与倭马亚王朝有关。

Shownotes Transcript

This week on Conflicted we embark on a four episode exploration of the history of Sudan, to explain the context of the conflict raging there today.

In our first episode, we tackle a huge span of history – beginning with the country’s ancient Christian roots, before explaining the period of Islamification and various conquests by the Egyptians and of course the British. But who would rise in defiance of them all? Sudan’s Mahdi, Muhammad Ahmad, a self-styled revolutionary religious messiah who came to unite the Sudanese and fight against the foreign invaders he claimed were desecrating Islamic traditions in Sudan. The fascinating, thrilling story of his rule, and the consequences of it, will inform Sudanese politics throughout the 20th century and even to this day.
