Sudanese army repels attack by rebels, blames Chad
2009-05-25
I can't decide if all this Sudan/Chad/Eritrea pointings of fingers and farting in general directions is serious politix or just background noise/smokescreens.

#1  Well, Eritrea is definitely messing in the affairs of Sudan, and supports the Shabaab forces. They'd do anything to cause heartache for Ethiopia, whom they've made their lifelong enemies. Sudan and Chad have been antagonists since somewhere in the third or fourth centuries. Other than that, it's politics as usual in Africa - blame all your troubles on your neighbors, or your colonial masters. Someday, the entire continent is going to have to grow up.
