| StrategyPage: Sudan Peace Deals Collapsing |
| 2006-04-06 |
| The peace deal with the southern rebels is falling apart. The government is not honoring key aspects of the deal, especially those involving integrating rebels into the army, and hiring, and paying, southerners to perform government jobs. While the rebels have disarmed, the government has not. A resumption of the civil war would begin with a lot of death and destruction in the south. |

| #2 Of course. Deals are only made Dar Islam when needed and only kept until there is an advantage in breaking them. Its in the Koran. |

| #1 The government is not honoring key aspects of the deal Well, why should it? They're just infidels, the Master Religion(tm) doesn't have to comply to its word. While the recent Darfur mess is at ten of thousands of (muslim) deaths and counting, the civil war/genocide in the south claimed about 2,5 millions lives, christians and animists, in the general indiferrence. Weird thing is that the southerners actually held their own quite good, despite being hopelessly outgunned and outnumbered, in part because of their superior martial organization, which IIRC may be at least partly due to the involvement of a few white mercenaries/freelance advisors like the late Rudolf Steiner. |
