    Sudan and South Sudan have got to be two of the most miserable places on earth. I feel really bad for the women and children caught up in that hell hole.

    I wonder if any country will be brave enough to try and put an end to this bloodshed and help restore order. The USA alone has given 113 billion to Ukraine, not counting what any other country has given. I am sure the UN and others could help these people by getting aid to them and enforce a cease fire
