Tomas, Thank you for posting all pertinent info. On the latest <"We believe this war cannot be won through military means, the government cannot win it, Garang cannot win it. So the best way for us is to reach an agreement by peaceful means and the Sudan government is committed to that."> Thanks to the Canadian Government it looks like the situation may be heading toward an intelligent compromise.

Currently the Sudan Government has external debts of 17 Billion. Organizations like CARE are being drawn to the brink of bankruptcy trying to keep up with the situation in Sudan. Obviously, the development of natural resources is the answer with some social compromises, and as I said before, thanks to the Canadian Government there is now a formal opportunity for social compromise in Sudan.

Of course all of this may seem indifferent to the "stop the oil flow" politicians south of the border. However, it is no secret that Sudan oil is high in paraffin, which means that a halt to oil flow for any extended period would cause the oil to solidify within the pipeline, thereby trashing a 1.2 billion pipeline and any chances for economic salvation within Sudan. Just some thoughts. Ed
