Perhaps, it's a third world country and they have been fighting amongst eachother since the dawn of time?
It could also be we drop free food from the sky; that way the dictator/strongman can take it from the people and feed his cronies.
Libertarian paradise it may be; but you'll never get them over there.

If 'peace summits' and 'waging peace' actually worked, the middle east would be the most peaceful place in the entire world, and Israeli and Palestinian children would dance together in the streets celebrating Yum Eid.

What's really ironic is that if you combine both words, you get "Pudane Ace", with of course means as much as the word "Peace" does to the Sudanese.

It would be more ironic if it was just a "peace conference"...but once "Sudan" was included, I'd say it was pretty much the expected outcome.

Hey!
Dont go mocking the "religion of peace". They are quite peacefull grom what I have heard. It is their guiding principle in this life and the will go to war to defend it.

This is Fark, so I should expect derpitude here, but you guys realize that the people of South Sudan are, by and large,
NOT
muslims...right?
South Sudan (capital: Juba) is predominantly made up of black africans who are animists, christians, etc. Sudan (capital: Khartoum) is populated by arab africans who are muslim. For the record, the South Sudanese (generally speaking) are not the biggest fans of the Religion of Peace
TM
either.
The issues on display in this news article stem from inter-tribal conflicts that have been going on since forever. The newness and novelty of forming the nation of South Sudan has worn off and now it's back to the same routine of tribal conflict. That's what you're seeing here.
Mr. ManifestDestiny served a year's tour of duty with the UN in South Sudan, only coming home this past September. So yeah, this is something I know a little about.

I dunno, when I heard "Sudan" I sort of expected a significantly higher body-count.
