I'm not talking about Darfur where the Islamic Fundamentalist Arab government is attempting to exterminate blacks living in north western Sudan. Instead I am referring to old conflict between the Arab Muslim north and the black Christian south which until 1995 had resulted in a 35 year long civil war. The problem is the peace agreement allows for the south to vote on independence in just 4 years and that the area of Sudan contain virtually all of the oil was traditionally considered part of the south. During the civil war this territory was taken over by the Arab north however the peace agreement called for the north to return that area to the south; something which has not happened because the Arab-Muslims didn't want to give up control over the oil fields.
Now the south is demanding that the north honor the peace agreement and return control of the oil fields to the Christian south. something which the Muslims don't want to do as most of their money comes from selling that oil. The Muslim north's government is now claiming that the old borders are incorrect and that the borders be redrawn so that the oil fields remain part of their territory.
so what do you think will happen? Civil war or will an agreement be worked out? If civil war is avoided what will happen if the Christian south votes for independence in four years as the peace treaty allows them to do? Will the Muslim Fundamentalists willingly let go of their main source of income which is not legally their's?
