Worst headline of 2012

February has just begun, but here it is: "Many Die at Sudan Peace Meeting." 

Here is the link if you want to take a look.  I didn't even read the article very closely.  I was in Kenya in July 2011 when the voting took place for Southern Sudan's independence.

It was incredible.

The lead up to the vote in Sudan had a massive following in the neighboring Kenyan media.  It was a hopeful time for Sudan.  Although in retrospect maybe we all knew what was coming.

Sudan was a country that epitomized the colonization of the African continent.  Colonists drew political lines intended to spur tribal conflict as a means to control populations.  Much like Kenya, Sudan was irrationally formed and divided.  To the north lies the Nubian Desert-- the traditional land of the Nubian people.  To the south, wide swaths of savanna that give way to rich forests and swamps.
