Sudan recently elected their 1st president in 20 years however, despite this election, they are still wanting to split between the North and South. The North consists mostly of the politicians while the South is the side with the rebels. Not suprisingly the South is the one who wants to cut ties with the North. This event is very similar to what I presented today about Vietnam how the US got involved with a country that has issues and it did not work out the way the US wanted it to. However, in Sudan the US used diplomacy, not violence. This article deals with both the culture and the policits of the Sudanese government.

Carson, I very much enjoyed reading this post of yours. I was wondering, though, what the newly elected president of sedan plans to do in order to mend the disputes occurring between the North and the South. Was he running on a platform of uniting the country, or for various other reasons? It will be interesting to follow up on this article to see if the new president can fix Sudan's problems. It is interesting that it connected to your UN project as well. Great post, and I look forward to learning more of this topic.
