speaking with some sort of experience as I am half american and have grown up in places throughout Africa, like Rwanda, it is impossible for the US to either send troops or do any good. We can't send troops now for the same reasons we couldn't send any to Rwanda under Clinton, political suicide. While our memory of Somalia is not as fresh as it was then, we've had other wars to remind us and Sudan is a harsher environment than somalia. For those who haven't had the "pleasure" of visiting this desert wasteland I'll say this: no roads, no water, no food, lots of tribes, lots of guns. Only advantage is that Sudan is a lot bigger than Rwanda, so their problems aren't reaching a climax as fast. My second point is that US troops would do squat shit in Sudan, for the reasons stated above: hunger, no roads, and pissed off people. This debate is all pointless anyway because there's no way the US military could spare enough of a force to even establish a presence in Sudan
I know open the floor for anyone who wants to argue. After all thats why we are all on this site
