I was under the impression that the government of South Sudan was 'fragile'...

Do the US even have diplomatic comms with the government there, or is it possible emails have been landing in an unmonitored sudan_gov_enquiries@hotmail.com email address?

Not important. This is just testing the water with places most Americans have either not heard of or can't place on a map.

I'm sure most Americans can figure out South Sudan is just south of North Sudan. Ditto for East/West Virginia.

I doubt most Americans can point to Sudan on a map.

"Why do I need to know where any other countries in the world are, the United States is the best anyway!"

Would it matter if it did or didn't? The cruelty is the point for this regime and its supporters.

What's most fascinating is that many of the latter insist that they shouldn't be judged by what it does.
