We have all heard of Darfur and the hundreds of thousands that have died from violence and starvation. And we have all heard that the government in Sudan won’t stop the violence; Strangely enough, the rest of worlds nations aren’t too keen on stopping the killings either.
Darfur is part of Sudan, as is Khartoum, the capitol of Africa’s largest country. Khartoum is also the site of Africa’s largest construction site; 1,500 acres in a place called Alsunut. This is a $4 billion development and just the first of many that are planned for this region. Sudan has one of the fastest growing economies in Africa; GDP is expected to grow by 13% this year!
Does any of this make sense? Only if you realize that oil is the reason for this kind of insanity.
