To stop Sudanese Air Raids.
"To stop Sudanese Air Raids." Heh!
it also explains why these Sudanese raids stopped in the past year.
A few years ago I did a post on George Clooney when he visited South Sudan. He had shown up just a day after the bombing raid .... you can see how angry he was because it was only civilians who were in the region, and they were being deliberately targeted.

Sudan is now backing the South Sudan rebels, so as the dry season starts, more Sudanese airvraids can be expected.
With Chinese military advisers in the mix with South Sudanese soldiers .... this is probably going to be very interesting .... even though China is saying that these troops will be stationed away from the conflict zone.
And a Chinese Peacekeeping Mission in Darfur.
