My latest contribution to Konkret (7/09) deals with the intensification of the many conflicts in Africa’s biggest country. Some analysts even go so far as to predict a Somalia scenario any time soon. The warrant of arrest of the ICC for President Omar al-Bashir was supposed to raise the pressure on the Islamists, but some observers doubt that this strategy in fact succeeded. Read some excerpts of that article here. <a href="http://rubeneberlein.wordpress.com" target="_blank">http://rubeneberlein.wordpress.com</a> Derrida in Khartoum – Is the Disintegration of the Sudan Imminent?

It's more of a right of passage/becoming a man thing. The men who have been educated, grew up in Christian boarding schools and now run the country are often not considered 'men' by their tribe because they were never marked. No religious per-se.

I don't know how true this info is though :) Hey Taylor, just to say I’ve heard somewhere that now the scaring is forbidden by the GOSS because it might contribute to some racial conflicts (much easier to know if the guy comes from the tribe you’re fighting against).
