On one hand, it is astounding to me how only 10 years after THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED IN RWANDA, the rest of the world is letting it happen again right before it eyes. On the other, it is a case study of how geo-politics work in the real world, as opposed to the theory, morality, ideology that is preached about in popular culture and academia. If anyone cared to put in the slightest effort, I would imagine the problem could be solved in a matter of weeks.

Best answer so far. As long as the majority of people don't care, either through apathy or just not knowing what is going on (which I think is more the case) things will continue as such.
The U.S wouldn't go there because they have nothing to gain. It would be even more fruitless than going into Iraq with much of the same consequences or worse.
And the problem with the Sudan is that it isn't mainstream enough unlike for example the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. Maybe 40 more years of hatred and killings will spawn some action, but for now their conflict is still rather minor league compared to the big boys conflicts, at least in the media eyes and for those who think some lives, or lives lost , are more important than others..
