About this paper
A Sir Adnan one-liner booklet headed 'SUDAN CIVIL WAR 2011-GK / ONE-LINER-200 (PPSC/FPSC NEW TREND 2025-26)' from the monster-data 'PMS SCREENING 2026 GK UPDATED' pack (13 pp). This file publishes Q51-100 only, in the standard MCQ format with verified answers and explanations: 40 published, 10 dropped. Dropped as internal duplicates of facts already published from the same booklet (Q1-50 file or earlier in this chunk): printed Q52 (millions displaced = Q20), Q53 (CPA enabled the referendum = Q2/Q37/Q46), Q66 (marginalisation as conflict driver = Q26), Q77 (Machar coup accusation = Q35), Q79 (capital Juba = Q47), Q80 (conflict began 2013 = Q17/Q62), Q81 (overwhelming yes vote = Q3/Q98), Q82 (the Nile = Q38), Q85 (strong support for secession = Q3/Q98). Dropped as unverifiable as printed: Q90 ('at least nine' states saw conflict in 2011 - no standard count supports nine of ten states in 2011). 1 CORRECTION (Q72: southeast neighbour is Kenya, not the booklet's Uganda) and 1 NOTE flag (Q64: 3.84 million valid votes cast vs 3.94 million registered). Q101-200 remain for later runs; the booklet PDF stays in work/pms-screening/.
