Family Security Matters » Publications » African Hot Spots in 2010: "As I have been wont to do in this column space at the beginning of each year, the following is a broad survey of the most significant conflicts or flashpoints which will require the particular attention of the United States and its African and other international partners in the coming year.
Sudan. Moving up from the No. 2 slot it occupied in last year’s list, Sudan enters the most decisive phase in its modern history this year. In the survey 12 months ago, I noted that the looming indictment by the International Criminal Court (ICC) of Sudanese President Umar Hassan al-Bashir on charges of crimes against humanity and war crimes for his role in the conflict in Darfur “may well mark a watershed in the progressive isolation of the Khartoum regime as well as the continuing break-up of the artificial Sudanese state as rigged elections and other tensions lead to the collapse of the [Comprehensive Peace Agreement, CPA] and South Sudan then declaring its sovereign independence without waiting for the scheduled 2011 referendum foreseen by the accord.”"
