Why the US wants to split Sudan
"..The secession of Southern Sudan would lead to calamitous political and strategic consequences on Sudan and the region. This is reflected in two matters:
1. America’s aim from the secession of the south is to turn it into a permanent American base that will execute her strategy in the Horn of Africa and the Great Lakes region, under the pretext of protecting the nascent state against the covetous designs of neighbouring states or armed movements, especially the Ugandan “Lord’s Resistance Army”. Southern Sudan represents almost the third of Sudan and borders five countries: Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda, Congo and Central Africa. This strategic location of Southern Sudan allows America to be closer to the issues of the region, especially the Somali and the River Nile issues.
2. The secession of the south would be a prelude for the secession of other regions in Sudan, especially Darfur and East Sudan. The US Special Envoy Scott Gration told Reuters: "It is a win-win situation that we are trying to get." He noted that this would be hard if the Khartoum government was not prepared to negotiate better conditions for the south, Darfur and other regions..."
NOT to blame the US. :P
About the EUROPEANS in Sudan?
Wake up! The break up of Pangaea was before your strain DNA CAME INTO EFFECT!
I haven't yet forgiven the US for the break up of Pangaea!

I am really beginning to enjoy your posts;-)
oi quit blaming the chinese. They need a new market for melamine enriched milk, toys and watches that last for less than a day and well their masseuses! Its the US's fault that the Chinese were let into Sudan!
Assuming the US want to split Sudan. Don't you think the Chinese are deep into Sudans Government business? They already provided Weapons, build roads, and medical teams.
The Europeans for instance: the french foreign legion is already in place. I believe this thread is just a bias racist comment of the editor towards the US, but he forgot te other major players involved with Sudan.
Lets not forgive the Sudan killing fields of humans all in the name of starvatin, religion and politics.
IF THEY GET SPLIT, LET IT BE!
mAYBE WE SHOULD MAKE THEM A COMMON WEALTH OR A STATE OF THE uNION IN THE FUTURE, JUST BECAUSE OF THE OIL!
Xena, I am sure somebody will find a way to blame the US for the sand anyway.
Was about to blame the US for all the sand in the desert to.. but then I remember the deserts were here before any civilisation....
Whew.... looks like the US got off lightly with that one...
America is interesed in Sudan for more reasons like the wealth of Sudan (under th ground); especially in Dar Forr.
It has already been suggested and the planners are looking into it..

Damn the Americans.... they are responsible for the CWG2010 mess in India. Trust me they have a vested interest!

Now were they around when the plagues struck Egypt?
We Americans are resposible for everything but the others are not!

Isnt the US responsible for the floods in Pakistan? Maybe the US plotted the volcano in Indonesia!!
Wake up, get off your paranoia, lest it consumes you!
Hillary Clinton has recently openly "urged" Sudan to push ahead with a referendum for Southern Sudan. Obviously the USA has an agenda for the region. However, seperation of the south may lead to a lot more bloodshed and violence.
