Israeli Interference in Sudan

As part of its initial publications, the Arab Center for Research and Policy Studies will soon issue a book in Arabic, titled The Secession of Southern Sudan: Risks and Opportunities. The book is the outcome of intensive interaction among a number of Sudanese and other Arab researchers and scholars who specialize in Sudanese affairs. This interaction includes studies on historical, social and geopolitical issues essential to an understanding of Sudan today. The current article is the seventh chapter of the book, by researcher Dr. Mahmoud Muhareb, in which he details a history of Israeli penetration of successive Sudanese governments, and examines the role played by Israel in the South Sudanese rebellion. Dr. Muhareb reveals evidence, culled from official Israeli archives and the memoirs of key Israeli decision-makers, which clearly shows that Israeli interference is indeed at work, and that it has been since the 1950s on the eve of Sudanese independence.
