#4 Yes Sudan is in the North, South Africa is in the south. The US is in the Western Hemisphere and we are able to act around the globe, I don't think the distance is too far for South Africa to show influence. If you are questioning if Sahara is part of sub-sahara africa do a google search and you'll find that half the time maps show it as part of sub sahara africa and the other half show it as not. Basically the line should go through the middle of the Sudan since the south of that nation is non-Islamic and much more to do with the rest of Africa than it does with the Islamic North. And the ANC and company are fools, I will grant you that, but the opportunity to become the heros of black Africa could be the one inducement to get them to stop playing with the enemy. Nigeria would be a better bet but they've actually got that Islamic/non-Islamic line running right through their nation which would make it far harder. |

#3 Besides which, the ANC is in bed with the Islamists in SA, and has consistently voiced support for the various terrorists and thugs in the Middle East, and beyond. The ANC is the worst possible choice for a continent-spanning regional power, at least for America. Might work out nicely for the Red Chinese. Never forget that the African National Congress is made up of hardcore Communists and other assorted nasties. |

#1 It's about time someone gave the rebels in southern Sudan more arms and political support. Personally I think the US should work behind the scenes to get the South African government to take responsibility for their continent, at least the subsaharan part. If South Africa wants to be treated as a world power that would be the place to start. |
