Respect Celebrating Fourth Year and Issuing its 11th Edition

The editorial committee of Respect, the Sudanese Journal for Human Rights’ culture and Issues of Cultural Diversity,  and the Sudanese Society in Arts and Humanities, are pleased to issue the 11th Issue of the journal, which falls on the passing of four years.

At a time when our country is at a turning point in its modern history whereby the question of identity and cultural diversity continues to occupy its central place between basic sudanese issues, comes this edition of Respect with a main dossier tackling "Multi-approach to the question of national identity and issues of cultural diversity", submitted by interested researchers, specialists and acivists within various disciplines.

Coinciding with the issuance of this edition is the passing of 20 years to the United Nations’ Convention on the Rights of the Child signed on 21 November 1989. So we are hereby keen to include within  the "Follow Up" section of the journal the special report of the Organization of the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF)  issued on this occasion under the title of "Situation of Children in the World" and at a time where we need to make further efforts for the children of the Sudan who are exposed to the effects of conflicts and crises witnessed in our country, in terms of security, health, nutrition, psychological effects and other problems caused by these conditions. That is besides their being, all over the country, victims to a falling apart educational system and the constantly deteriorating economic conditions.

Whereas breaching of freedom of expression and freedom of press is persistently perpetuated we publish, in the "follow-ups" section, the report of the African Centre for Justice and Peace on "The conditions of freedom of expression and freedom of the press in the Sudan for the period from the first of January 2009 to 30 September 2009".

On the basis of our commitment to steer our country on the direction of the path to democratic construction, and at a moment whereby preparations for the forthcoming elections are fraught with conditions of the evident risks of fraud and misleading media, we have, in the "follow-ups" section,  published the Arabic translation of the study issued by the Institute of The Rift Valley which has been commissioned by the International Development Association under the title of "elections in Sudan: learning from experience."  This case-study highlights our country’s legacy and experience in electoral practice and accesses the present generations to documented work that ensures our peoples’ readiness and their ability to materialize democratic construction.

Our sincere thanks and appreciation are, eventually, extended to the contributors to this edition’s main dossier: Mekki Ali Idris, Rashid Mustafa Bakheit, Dr Abdulbasit Mirghani, Taj Elsir Khaliha Awalla, Dr Nahid Mohamed al-Hassan, Dr Abdullah Ali Ibrahim, Dr Idriss Salem al-Hassan.

Our thanks also goes to Mohamed Ahmed Mahmoud Abu Abdu and Abdullah Adam Khatir for their contribution in "the issues of democracy, development and peace" and to Dr. Othman Ibrahim Othman for his participation in our section on "education’s issues."

Finally we, on the occasion of the passing of four years of issuing Respect, express deep appreciation and gratitude to all of those, Sudanese and non-Sudanese writers, who have contributed  to it and to everyone who have supported us on the continuation of  the magazine’s issuing and thus assures the fulfilment of its mission to promote the values of multiculturalism and to join hands with all of those who are seriously involved with sewing and consolidating the culture of human rights into our homeland’s soil and to all of the readers who have assisted us via sustainable encouragement and concern.
