Abstract
This paper examines how meningitis presents a dangerous healthcare problem for Africa and Sudan, in particular, and how the political instability compounded by the poor economic situation has contributed to the inefficient and insufficient handling of the crisis. The paper looks at how Sudan faces a huge health care problem every year in controlling the disease and in the management of an outbreak. It also contends that given the enormity of the problem, only a combined and coordinated effort of the government, NGO's, and the health care sector can facilitate better management of the epidemic.

From the Paper
"Meningitis is an epidemic disease, which affects people all around the world. In the United States the disease has an incidence rate of around .01% of the population with roughly around 25,000 cases every year. Meningitis refers to the inflammation of the meningines, the membranes covering the spine and the brain, due to opportunistic bacterial or viral infections. In some rare instances meningitis is also manifest due to fungal and parasitic infections. In general, viral meningitis is more common and easily treated compared to bacterial meningitis, which is more rare and serious. As per the 200;lkkimm 2 WHO statistics, South East Asian countries were the worst affected with around 73,000 cases of reported death. [Wrongdiagnosis] In the African continent also meningitis continues to be a major disease, particularly in the region known as the meningitis belt extending from Gambia in the west to Sudan and Ethiopia in the east, with an estimated average infection of around 200,000 and a fatality rate exceeding 10% of the affected people.

Abstract
This paper discusses meningitis, an acute inflammation of the membranes that cover and protect the brain and spinal cord. It examines eight different types: viral meningitis (aseptic meningitis), meningococcal meningitis, haemophilus meningitis, pneumococcal meningitis, neonatal meningitis, syphilitic meningitis, cryptococcal meningitis and tuberculous meningitis. For each type it looks at the infecting agent and incidence, disease course, symptoms, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) findings, treatment and prevention.
From the Paper
"Diagnosis usually hinges on lumbar puncture to obtain a cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) specimen. Levels of CSF protein and glucose and a CSF cell count help diagnose the condition, and culture and smear results may identify a causative organism. A computed tomography scan of the head and X-rays of the skull, sinuses, and chest may also help by showing evidence of old or current tuberculosis, a sinus infection, or brain abscess. If bacterial or fungal meningitis is known or suspected, initiate antimicrobial treatment depending on the organism. For viral meningitis, which is usually self-limited, provide supportive treatment, such as intravenous hydration."

Meningitis on College Campuses, 2004.

Abstract
This paper explains that colleges with large and diverse populations that intermingle frequently in large public areas and with a high number of individuals living in dorms and shared rooms are especially at risk for meningitis epidemics. The author points out that a form of prevention is vaccination, although not all strains of meningitis have a vaccine; many campuses require college students to receive vaccinations that are available for the common strains. The paper concludes that appropriate antibiotic treatment of most common types of bacterial meningitis can reduce the risk of dying from meningitis to less than 15%.

Step 2: Awareness
Step 3: Treatment
From the Paper
"But how do you know someone has the disease, you ask? Some of the symptoms are a high fever, headache, and a stiff neck. Other symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, discomfort looking into bright lights, confusion, and sleepiness. Of course, all of these can be simply symptoms of stress and other college lifestyle issues. Yet these lifestyle issues are also stress-related causes that make an individual potentially more susceptible to contracting the ailment. It is important, therefore, to be aware when one has all of the classic symptoms of fever, headache, and neck stiffness that it may be more than stress or the flu."

The paper discusses the impact of the discovery of oil on the nation's economy and people and analyzes current and future trends.

Historical Overview of Sudan
Review and Discussion
Current and Future Trends
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Sudan is a country in northern Africa with a population of around 40,000,000 people (Sudan 2). Following its independence from United Kingdom-Egyptian control in 1956, Sudan has experienced the devastation caused by incessant civil war, a crumbling infrastructure and the vagaries of climate that have caused widespread famine and poverty. Indeed, even the discovery of oil in Sudan was turned against the best interests of the people of Sudan to the benefit of a few elite, and the country remains one of the poorest in the world today. Despite these constraints to development, though, there have been some positive signs in recent years that things may be changing for the better in substantive ways, but virtually all observers suggest that much more remains to be done."

Abstract
This paper analyzes the causes of inequality, poverty, and economic stagnation in Sudan and assesses policy responses. This paper recognizes that for centuries Sudan was not a nation but a collection of small, independent kingdoms and principalities. Throughout Sudanese history, this internal fragmentation inevitably led to social, political, religious, and economic conflicts as each kingdom, tribe, and principality struggled for autonomy or sought to dominate other kingdoms, tribes, and principalities.
From the Paper
"In order to effectively analyze the causes of inequality, poverty, and economic stagnation in Sudan and assess policy responses, it must be recognized first of all that for centuries Sudan was not a nation but a collection of small, independent kingdoms and principalities. Throughout Sudanese history, this internal fragmentation inevitably led to social, political, religious, and economic conflicts as each kingdom, tribe, and principality struggled for autonomy or sought to dominate other kingdoms, tribes, and principalities. Historians agree that the coming of Islam in the seventh century changed the nature of ancient Sudanese society and culture, and led to a division of the country into north and south, which has had long-term social, economic, and political implications."

From the Paper
"Man has lived in the Sudan for at least nine million years and the valley of the Nile that wanders more than 4,000 miles from the lakes of Central Africa to the Mediterranean may be the cradle of civilization rather than the Euphrates. Almost four centuries before Christ the Ox-driven water wheel which still plays a vital role in the country's economy, was introduced to the
Sudan. At the same time came camels, brought with them by the Persians when Cambyses invaded Egypt in 525 BC. It is Africa's largest country with a wide diversity of ethnic and religious groups. Originally populated by peoples of African origin, it was gradually taken over by Arab traders from Egypt. They gave the country its name, Sudan, and brought in the - today - dominant religion, Islam. Later Sudan was part of the British Empire, administered by Egypt under the "Condominium" agreement until 1955."

The People who will be Saved - "Make known among the nations what He has done" (Isaiah 12:4)
Long term Vision: What Would it be Like if Everything God Desires for the People of Darfur were to Blossom in the Next Twenty-Five Years?
From the Paper
"The Christian Mission should develop many partnerships, to ensure that it can be truly effective in the long term in this area. Suggested partners would be the UN World Food Program, the U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Doctors Without Borders, the U.S. Agency for International Development, Amnesty International, the International Crisis Group, and the World Health Organization. The Christian Mission can in fact learn from these partners, as many of them are already well aware of the extreme health and other problems in the area that need to be addressed. In addition, the Christian Mission should be aware of a rapidly growing movement advocating for humanitarian intervention in several countries. People and organizations that are part of this movement can be approached as sources of funding to help the Christian Mission achieve its goals in this region."

Abstract
This essay presents an overview of the crisis that took place in Darfur, Sudan, in 2004 and critically examines the failure of the international community to respond. The essay further examines the history of international response to genocide, specifically the roles played by the United States and United Nations. The author argues for change in U.S. policy and U.N. structure and concludes that the international community still lacks the institutions, procedures, and political unity necessary to respond in a timely manner to keep such catastrophes from happening again.
From the Paper
"The Charter of the United Nations is not clear in regards to its authority in responding to human rights abuses and genocide. It ?reaffirm(s) faith in fundamental human rights? but does not do much to protect them, and Article 2.7 prohibits intervention ?in matters which are essentially within the jurisdiction of any State.? As a result there has been a long running argument in the international community between those who insist on a ?right to intervene? in and those who argue that the Security Council is prohibited from authorizing any action against sovereign States in regards to a matter which happens within their borders."

Abstract
The paper reminds us that the African continent is one of the most volatile regions in the world. Sudan is currently the focus of attention in the international community. From the perspective of the general peace process, the paper confirms that progress has been made in all areas. The United Nations played a significant part in moderating the talks through its UNMIS monitors and ensuring the implementation of the provisions agreed upon in the Comprehensive Peace Agreement signed in 2005. The paper notes that the government in Khartoum is forced by international donors and through economic sanctions to comply with the rules and decisions taken at the negotiation table in respect to the North South conflict. The paper underlines the major breakthroughs achieved since the 1993 establishment of the Intergovernmental Authority for Development.
Outline:
Introduction
Historical Background of the North South Conflict
Peace talks
Protocol.
Darfur
Conclusion
From the Paper
"This is due to the continuous struggles for reaching a positive agreement between the conflicting parties in the country, as well as the failure to establish a comprehensive means to respecting and implementing the already agreed upon ceasefires, protocols, and agreements. At the same time though, the lack of efficiency in the actions undergone is also the result of the complexity of the issues under discussion, taking into account the dimension of the conflicts present in Sudan. In this sense, on the one hand, there is the unsolved conflict between the North and the South of the country, and, on the other hand, there is the escalating humanitarian and security crisis in the Western part of the state, in Darfur. From this perspective, any possible peace agreement must take into account both levels of conflict and deal with them in terms of local solutions as well as a national one."
