#1 Kassala is an interesting place situated among some fantastic dolmans. The area has had close ties with Ethiopia and Eritrea, and has a large non-Arab but Muslim population. It was a stop-off between Khartoum and Port Sudan. This incident indicates that the Arab Military control over the population of eastern Sudan may be tenuous outside of Port Sudan itself and the area to the north of that city. Port Sudan now serves as the de facto capital of the Sudan, which is a humpty-dumpty failed state if there ever was one. The military will survive as long as Cairo continues to support its existence -- which it does given the long-standing ties to Egyptian expats whose farms provide the food Egypt, with its burgeoning population, must have.
