		Winston Churchill wrote about Khartoum some 90 years ago that:” The town of Khartoum, at the confluence of the Blue and White Niles, is the point on which the trade of the south must inevitably converge.
		During the years of the Egyptian administration, Khartoum had became a symbol of foreign domination and a few months after its capture the Khalifa Abdullahi, successor to the Mahdi now dead in his turn, decreed that it be abandoned.
		Khartoum, damaged by siege and sack, was now a quarry for the new city.

	Khartoum Resolutions of 1967
		The Khartoum resolutions weakened conciliatory voices in the Israeli government, and legitimized those voice who were calling for annexation of the conquered territories and Jewish settlement in them.
		Much later, King Hussein revealed that from the Arab standpoint, the resolutions of the Khartoum conference were intended to be conciliatory, and to allow for informal de facto negotiations and recognitions.
		This will be done within the framework of the main principles by which the Arab States abide, namely, no peace with Israel, no recognition of Israel, no negotiations with it, and insistence on the rights of the Palestinian people in their own country.

	American Prospect Online - ViewWeb
		But in midst of an ongoing genocide in Darfur, and with the rest of the world poised to act with a unified purpose, the Bush administration’s decision to obstruct a Security Council vote on the ICC and Darfur may be sending the wrong message to the worst of Sudan’s war criminals.
		Indeed, if we are to judge by the reaction of Khartoum officials to the report, many of them are scared at the prospect of being hauled into court for their actions.
		Rather than ordering further bombing raids on defenseless villages, leaders in Khartoum who fear prosecution may instead play down their roles as war criminals; like any criminals about to face justice, they are likely to expend energy hiding their crimes -- not committing more crimes that would require further covering up.

		With this battle, Britain integrated Sudan into its empire with the hypocritical status of "Anglo-Egyptian Condominium." While the administration and police were to be staffed and paid by Egypt (then a British protectorate), British officers held all the key positions.
		But by and large it was not until the early 1990s, at the time of their first sanctions against Khartoum, that the Anglo-American bloc seems to have definitely opted for giving its wholehearted support to Garang.
		In 1994, France allowed Khartoum's troops to pass through the Central African Republic (which is part of the French sphere of influence), allowing them to attack the SPLA from behind.

		Khartoum had fallen to the Mahdists in January 1885, with Major General Gordon being killed along with many others.
		The British Government was still reluctant to get involved in the Sudan and was alarmed by a new outbreak in Eastern Sudan led by one of the Mahdi's Lieutenants, a former slave trader known to the British as Osman Digma.
		The campaign continued until a Russian General disobeyed orders and advanced into Afghanistan (30th March), for Gladstone this was a heaven sent opportunity and very quickly the Sudan was abandoned with the last British troops leaving in June 1885.

		Goofs: Continuity: As Hicks is helped up during the first battle scenes, a bloody spear point is visible sticking out of his chest prior to him being struck by the spear.
		Khartoum is an account of the 1885 massacre of British General Charles (Chinese) Gordon (played by Charlton Heston) and British Egyptian troops in Khartoum in the Sudan by the hard-line Muslim forces of The Mahdi (The Chosen One), played by Sir Laurence Olivier--good make-up job.
		This is an even-handed job (meaning, of course, all the favorable sides of things might have been assumed to be with Gordon, but they are not)--the views of both sides of the struggle are sympathetically represented, and Gordon's vanity is not spared.

		The battle sequences were directed by none other than Yakima Canutt, the legendary director for the chariot race in "Ben-Hur." Charlton Heston's performance as General Gordon is one of his finest.
		He was never good in any of them, but in KHARTOUM his performance as the Mahdi causes enough offense nearly to justify, years later, the recent subway bombings in London.
		We underestimate the ability of a strong society to absorb incredible blows in battle, and risk joining the ranks of the terrorized and self-defeated.

	Why U.N. won't call it genocide
		The North-South war was rooted in disputes over religion (the north is more Islamic than the Christian and animist south), oil (Khartoum claimed areas of southern Sudan that had large petrol deposits) and other issues.
		The commission says that the Janjaweed and Khartoum's forces have not killed or harmed every civilian they've encountered in Darfur -- that their actions (however gruesome) have not resulted in an intentional annihilation of an entire people.
		In other words, Darfur is different from Nazi Germany, where whole categories of people (Jews, Gypsies, etc.) were deliberately targeted because of their religion, race, ethnicity or nationality, and Darfur is different from Bosnia-Herzegovia, where Muslims were targeted in masse.

		Media reports from Darfur make it seem that the conflict is strictly a battle between Khartoum’s Arab military and militia and the Sudanese fls who are the subject of atrocities — that this racial and ethnic divide is the sole factor in Darfur’s mayhem — but the U.N. study relays these important facts:
		— The Darfur conflict is tied to Khartoum’s long-standing conflict in southern Sudan.
		The commission says that the Janjaweed and Khartoum’s forces have not killed or harmed every civilian they’ve encountered in Darfur — that their actions (however gruesome) have not resulted in an intentional annihilation of an entire people.

		The Khartoum government and leaders of the rebel Sudan People's Liberation Army (SPLA) have reached an agreement to end the 21 years of civil war that have ravaged the country's southern regions.
		The peace agreement to be signed by the government and SPLA does not provide for a truth commission, or allow the possibility of prosecution for war crimes and atrocities.
		During their decades of battle with the Khartoum government, SPLA leaders frequently charged that Sudan's air force was deliberately bombing civilian centers, and barring the passage of relief supplies to starving villagers.
