Full War could explode along Chad-Sudan border

I've been to Khartoum, and found it relatively calm, but this continuing crisis in Darfur seems to be drawing in a multitude of combatants. First rebels fighting the Sudanese goverment, who want to form their own South Sudanese country. Then rebels fighting the Chadian government who stay in Darfur to launch attacks at Chad. Then Sudanese support for these Chadian rebels. Then Chadian support for Sudanse rebels.

In the meantime while everyone is fighting, women and children are being slaughtered and an entire generation of mid-African families destroyed. Who's happy? Who wants this?

Those against the west for sure. Those that would spread terror and mind control and have no problem with homocides and abuse. You fill in the blanks. Look at Kenya and ask the same question, right next door, who want this?

Chad's President Idriss Deby threatened on Saturday to send his armed forces
into neighbouring Sudan to destroy rebel fighters he accuses Khartoum of
supporting, and said he may break off diplomatic ties.

Relations between the two countries have deteriorated since a conflict
began in Sudan's border region of Darfur nearly five years ago, spilling
fighters and refugees into eastern Chad.
Khartoum has repeatedly denied Deby's charges of supporting Chadian rebels and
in return accuses Deby of backing Sudanese rebel groups fighting Sudanese
government forces in Darfur.
Chad threatens to strike rebels inside Sudan
The European Union plans to deploy around 4,000 troops to Chad, including a
small number to its southern neighbour Central African Republic, to complement a
26,000-strong mixed United Nations-African Union force planned for Darfur
itself.

Think about oil in southern Sudan, and all governments that might be interested...
