South Sudan, Israel's New Ally
2012-01-03
Very interesting and educational article on the history of Israel and its relations with South Sudan, by Daniel Pipes.
Israel has helped the South Sudanese for over 50 years.

#2  Bravo Israel! This is a brilliant, strategic move by them. South Sudan is also developing a deep, bilateral relation with Ethiopia. If Ethiopia just had some easy access to the Red Sea, there would be a much easier trade corridor all the way to South Sudan from Israel.

Unfortunately, Eritrea is kooky, and if they support South Sudan it might be worse for them then if they didn't, and Djibouti supports North Sudan.

But Kenya comes to the rescue, also wanting deep bilateral trade with South Sudan. It is likely the direct corridor from Israel.

#1  The Christians of Souther Sudan have suffered enough from the Muslims out of Kartoum and the slave runners from the Darfur area.
