[extropy-chat] Genocide: The Sudan

[Robert J. Bradbury]

Kristoff has an interesting editorial on the situation
in the Sudan (both good and bad) in the NY Times today.

Well worth a read by Extropians.

Now my pessimistic side says that the recent interest in Africa
is due to concerns that it is likely to become a terrorist breeding
and/or training ground.  Presumably the interest was sparked by the
recent Madrid bombings and the clear links of the terrorists to
northern Africa).

An interesting news report out of London points out that Al Queda has largely
reassembled itself but in a very distributed fashion.  They cited a figure of
18,000 as the probable number of loyalists scattered all over the globe.

This is a problem that will not be easy to solve anytime soon.
