    Lillie,

    now we have "decolonization" to blame for the Sudan split; I guess it really had nothing to do with the Nile River and the way the Russians built the dam in Egypt? First time I ever saw an answer whereby "decolonization" was the demon. What's next? "Go back to Colonies?"

    You must consider in part the water ~ water is the flow of life everywhere and the most taken for granted commodity. Religion/faith was certainly part of the split but there is the water and the ability to allow people to live and grow. Take a deeper look in your text and I am certain that it is there.

    All the best,

    Gerry

    Sudan is a country ruled by Arabic

    Muslims. But the vast majority of South

    Sudanese people either practice traditional

    religions or follow Christianity, and are not

    Arabic. The only reason they were in the

    same country in the first place is European stupidity during Post World War II

    Decolonization.
