Abstract
This research aims to clarify the Sudan’s problems of political governance and threats of geographical partition into smaller States. This research revealed failure of Sudanese political parties to achieve a common formula for political governance, which might be be due to dissimilarity of their intellectual backgrounds, particularly the communist and Islamic streams. This put Sudan into a unrest and socio-political conflicts. This research also depicted that the British colonial administration laid the seeds of the partition of Sudan by implementing the policy of enclosed areas and cultural separation between northern Sudan, and the regions of southern Sudan, the Nuba Mountains, and the Anqasana. The research views that the failure of Sudanese political parties to achieve agreed on political governance have produced good opportunities for imperialism to develop plans to divide Sudan. The formulation of a joint political-social contract to achieve political governance will enable keeping the Sudan unified.
