Syracuse Basketball Throwback Thursday: Go Back in the Day With Kueth Duany

Kueth Duany was born on April 22, 1980 in Sudan. During a time of civil unrest and basic human right violations, the Sudan underwent its second civil war beginning in April of 1983, just three years after Duany's birth. From early history, the Sudan central government has attempted to exploit the underdeveloped regions of the South Sudan. In 1978, American oil giant Chevron came across unutilized oil in the South Sudan region. After becoming aware of the unused oil, Khartoum (Capital of Sudan) ventured to redraw the boundaries of South Sudan which would bring the oilfields to the north.
