South Sudan has developed close ties with Israel and the president of South Sudan still wears the cowboy hat President Bush gave him. If this pipeline deal gets closer to reality I fully expect Sudan to launch another full scale war. They are teetering on collapse now after losing most of their oil revenue and Al-Bashir, president of Sudan, is already wanted by the International Crime Court. He would be arrested in most countries he set foot in.
Needless to say, If Sudan attacks South Sudan, our first Muslim President will not be in any hurry to come to the rescue. But he might find it increasingly hard to hide what he is, if he openly sides with the Muslim Arabs against the black Africans.
