Important report this evening on Channel 4 News about the civil war in South Sudan: http://www.channel4.com/news/white-house-condemns-south-sudan-massacre
The situation has been compared to Rwanda.
The United Kingdom has such a massive foreign aid budget - surely some of it can be diverted to South Sudan?
Over the longer term some thought needs to be given to the issue of self-determination in Africa. It is obvious that the post-imperial borders have no meaning for most Africans. They need to have borders and social structures where the ordinary people are in control and feel secure.
