rumors of war

Southern Sudan is my most common destination with the airplane. We have been increasingly busy there as more missionaries move back in to minister and build after so many years of war. And as I've flow around these past six months, I have sensed a growing discontent from the southern Sudanese about the progress of peace in the country. Sometimes it looks more like they are preparing for war instead of rebuilding a country. Recent developments in Sudan confirm this observation, and are discouraging to see. Ministry in the south may soon change... again.

From the New York Times:
"While much of the recent international attention on Sudan has been focused on Darfur, in the west, tensions over the fragile peace deal in the south have been bubbling for months. American officials recently warned that South Sudan could plunge back into war."
