Ok so one of the more Islamist nations in Africa (the one now waging an under reported war on its oil rich Animist/Christian separatist southern region.) is aiding the Libyan rebels to get their oil monies. So either they want their Islamic pals to funnel some some oil revenue their way or they plan to just seize it for themselves.

I'm so confused . Are they good guys or bad guys? Am I supposed to hate them or love them? Should I erase their name from the black list and put it on the white list? Do they represent tyranny, evil and meatballs without ketchup or liberty, democracy and happy puppies? My citizen hand book doesn't tell me and the talking head on TV is using such confusing words! Help!

How is the war in the south under reported? Besides which after 60+ years of on/off war they are now becoming two seperate countries this week.
The "new" war in the south is a tribal one where one group wants its own nation seperate from both north and south Sudan but both north and south want the area themselves so its a three way issue not a christian/muslim one as it was too complex for the peace deal to address.
As for the on Libyan border, this has also been going on for decades with the different groups and the 3 different nations involved and is well reported.
Just because it isn't on the front page every day and rarely gets a mention in the half hour TV slot it doesn't mean it is under reported.

What is new here? Already in March it was reported that Zimbabwe's Mugabe had send Gadaffi commandos from his own elite force, the Presidential Guards, via airlift. Involvement of troops from Sudan operating on Libyan soil are rumoured almost as long.

Oil or Islamic alliances may have little to do with it here. Especially with Mugabe, it is one authocratic villain helping out his authocratric buddy in need, so that the system of authocracy in general is helped and strengthened on the continent.

Gaddafi was said from beginning on to be helped by significant forces of foreign mercenaries as well.
