It says it is the most deadly conflict since WWII. This is no longer the case. The reference goes to page written in 2001, and it may have been true then. However, now the most deadly conflict since WWII is the conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo which has claimed the lives of over 5,000,00 people (from a widely cited report by the IRC). This statistic is used widely in academic and non academic sources and is easy to find on the internet. Time to update this. â Preceding unsigned comment added by 139.80.123.34 ( talk) 01:29, 7 March 2013 (UTC)
I reverted some posts that seemed to just have been added for bias, things like "This article is biased and untrue" and "SPLA was heavily supported by western countries and Christian groups". There was no references, just the text. If someone wants to revert my changes with references, fine by me. -- 207.250.85.58 ( talk) 17:48, 9 March 2012 (UTC)
I cannot see why "Outbreak" is not a sutible heading; indeed I think it sums up nicley the ideas of the paragraph. I do agree, however, that the chronology is confusing- it is very hard to read it and understand. A timeline outlining the basics of the war would be a welcome feature.
-- User:CrucialCoconuts/CrucialCoconuts 8 April 2010 (UTC)
The section under the heading "Outbreak" has some problems with chronology; the first two paragraphs need to be disentangled. Also, why is "Outbreak" an appropriate heading?

Reading the content of this article, and considering the lack of an article on the first Sudanese civil war, I think it would be better if we retitled the article Sudanese Civil War. This would make the article better because it would be more holistic. If that article approached size limits we could think again about splitting the articles. : ChrisG 18:59, 13 Nov 2004 (UTC)
In the current revision, the last three paragraphs of the section "Background and causes" and the start of "Outbreak" are still a bit confused. The narrative doesn't flow smoothly. -- Jmabel | Talk 09:15, Nov 18, 2004 (UTC)
And the tail end of "Outbreak" cuts off mid-sentence. -- Jmabel | Talk 09:20, Nov 18, 2004 (UTC) And that fragment seems identical to the beginning of "1985-1991". -- Jmabel | Talk 09:25, Nov 18, 2004 (UTC)
What can possibly be meant by, "The civil war was particularly divisive (see âCivil Strifeâ below)." No such section, and it should go without saying that war is divisive. -- Jmabel | Talk 09:31, Nov 18, 2004 (UTC)
I just want to know how the statement "Due to the North's military superiority, most of southern Sudan was decimated and the rebels achieved little.", can be made. They have regional autonomy and a scheduled referendum in 2011 on possible independence. Sounds to me like the rebels achieved their aims. Diggerjohn111 23:25 (UTC)
The last paragraph on this website is copyrighted. [1] (It starts with "In August 1991, internal dissention")
The second paragraph under Conduct of the war: 1991-2001 has the first sentence of the copyrighted paragraph word for word. In the fourth paragraph under the same title the rest of the copyrighted paragraph can be found. The fourth paragraph begins with "In September 1992, William Nyon Bany"
I was wondering if we have permission from GlobalSecurity.org or if I am wrong. Also other parts of our article is copied from the same website.
I wasn't sure who to ask about this or what to do so I posted it here. NeoJustin 17:01 Nov. 14, 2004 (UTC)
"This has infuriated many groupsâŚ": Are you saying that the Borgen project has infuriated these groups? Or what? On a second read, I suspect that is not what you mean. Could you reword this more clearly, and also with some thought as to what is relevant to an article on an African war, not one on U.S. politics? -- Jmabel | Talk 05:21, July 12, 2005 (UTC)
A very nice article, long, detailed, and with pictures, maps, and infobox. Needs references though. LordAmeth 20:05, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
From the article:
Should "2002" be replaced with "2005" or was there some agreement in 2002 that our article glosses over? AxelBoldt 01:37, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
Not sure about the line "the rebels achieved little" in relation to the outcome of the conflict. The CPA provisions for power and wealth sharing, national elections, and determination that the people of Southern Sudan have the right to self determination and referendum on secession, are all substantial gains for the south. The line should be removed as it is inaccurate. âPreceding unsigned comment added by 81.99.121.89 ( talk ⢠contribs)

SPLA-Nasir, SSLM and Anyanya II were all predominantly Nuer collaborationist militia (read their respective articles), it doesn't make much sense to keep them on the anti-government side of combatants. I'm not sure whether to move them on the pro-government side or give them their own area. They behaved much in the same way the Ähetniks did during the Yugoslav front of WWII, only difference is that the Ähetniks actually fought against the Nazis and UstaĹĄa up until a point.
N.B. I removed the flag from Anyanya II because it was the flag of Anyanya I. Anyanya II has no reported iconography. -- Secondat of Orange ( talk) 20:32, 16 May 2013 (UTC)

Hello I would like to put into serious question with regards to the validity of Eritrea's involvement in this war. The referenced writer Mr. Plaut, has an agenda against Eritrea and has written numerous unsubstantiated accusations against the nation. I wish to request a review of the source, and serious consideration with regards to any information that is derived from Plaut. Ericandude ( talk) 16:29, 23 May 2023 (UTC)
