Oh yeah I forgot they split up. But I just realized that I don't really care

Damn, that's almost as bad as the Source Awards.....
 
2012-02-03 03:45:37 PM
In a row?!
 
2012-02-03 03:47:30 PM
I'm pretty sure "Sudan" and "peace" don't belong in the same sentence

It's a libertarian paradise. Small government and all that.

It certainly seems like a polite society.

In other ironic Africa/peace-related news, Somalia made it to the finals of the East Africa Peace Cup.

No gun control, either

they're doing it wrong.

But totally the west's fault somehow.

Ron Paul, in response to a question seeking his reaction to the matter, was quoted as saying "Hey, freedom is risky."

I swear to God if one person mentions "religion of peace" I'm gonna whip out my Israeli terrorist cum prime minister list.

I mean it. And it's a BIG list. And I'm checking it twice.

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.

Violent teats were uddered. They locked horns. There was a terrible moossacre.

There's no peace with extremists. There's only biding their time and dead all over the place.
 
2012-02-03 05:41:42 PM
The usual herd of suspects were rounded up. Police have branded them hosstile witnesses

According to the UN, Friday's incident occurred after a row broke out at the meeting.

Dear god, a row! First columns, now this...

Ethno-political violence in Africa is ironic?
 
2012-02-03 05:57:00 PM
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.

It always starts with one row... then another, then fight the power.

MaudlinMutantMollusk: I'm pretty sure "Sudan" and "peace" don't belong in the same sentence

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.

/Got nothin'
 
2012-02-03 06:00:21 PM
No one lived? Sounds like the peace conference was a success then. Nice and quiet now.

Conference of PeaceTM
 
2012-02-03 06:08:55 PM
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.
 
2012-02-03 06:09:58 PM
I hate sudans. I'd rather drive a coupe.

If they observed the rest of the world they might notice that's not how we got rich.

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.

Forty posts and nary a Strangelove reference. I am disappoint.

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 PeaceTM 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.
