Kuala Lumpur: IIUM Press, 2001. p. 60〕〔〔Akol, Lam. ''(Southern Sudan: Colonialism, Resistance, and Autonomy )''. Trenton, NJ (): Red Sea Press, 2007. p. 47〕 The first issue was published on March 23, 1965.〔 It was an organ of the Southern Front.〔 It functioned as a relatively well-written informative newsletter, and became the mouthpiece of the Southern movement in general and the Southern Front in particular.〔Collins, Robert O. ''(A History of Modern Sudan )''. Cambridge, UK: Cambridge University Press, 2008. p. 88〕 Effectively it was the sole press outlet for Southern opinions.〔Ruay, Deng D. Akol. ''(The Politics of Two Sudans: The South and the North 1821-1969 )''. Uppsala: Scandinavian Institute of African Studies (Nordiska Afrikainstitutet), 1994. p. 142〕 Bona Malual Madut Ring (the general secretary of the Southern Front) was the editor of ''The Vigilant''.〔〔University of Durham. ''(UKIRA - The vigilant )''〕〔''(Who's Who in the Arab World, 2007-2008 )''. John Kennedy Street: Publitec Publications / K.G. Saur Nunchen, 2007. p. 673〕 Darurs Beshar was the registered proprietor of the publication.〔Deng, Francis Mading. ''(War of Visions: Conflict of Identities in the Sudan )''. Washington, DC: Brookings Institution, 1995. p. 536〕 Publication of ''The Vigilant'' was interrupted between July 1965 and January 1966.〔 The suspension was issued on July 15, 1965, following the publishing of articles about the recent massacres in Juba and Wau.〔〔Collins, Robert O. ''(The Southern Sudan in Historical Perspective )''. New Brunswick: Transaction, 2006. p. 91〕〔O'Ballance, Edgar. ''(The Secret War in the Sudan, 1955 - 1972 )''. (): Shoe String Press, 1977. p. 81〕 ''The Vigilant'' had held the government responsible for what it called 'barbaric and brutal killing'. The newspaper claimed that there had been 1,400 casualties and 76 killed (out of whom 49 victims would have been Southern Sudanese government employees, killed in Wau on Mau 8-9). Furthermore the publication argued that the incidents was "not accident but part and parcel of a plan to depopulate the south".〔 Copies of the newspaper commenting on the massacres were seized. Darurs Beshar and Bona Malual were arrested and tried in court. They were eventually acquitted of any criminal acts.〔 The publishing frequency of ''The Vigilant'' varied. For some periods it was issued daily.〔Yoh, John Gay. ''(Christianity in the Sudan: An Annotated Bibliography )''. Amman, Jordan: Royal Institute for Inter-Faith Studies, 1999. p. 147〕 Between November 1967 and April 1968 it appeared on weekly basis.〔 ''The Vigilant'' was closed down in May 1969.〔Eprile, Cecil. ''(War and Peace in the Sudan, 1955-1972 )''. Newton Abbot: David & Charles, 1974. p. 178〕 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Vigilant」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
