My comments :  There is continuous turmoil in Africa. The problems in Sudan became magnified after the influence of the Ikhwan Muslimin or Muslim Brotherhood - the ever present hand behind the scenes in the turmoil in many Islamic countries. Erdogan in Turkey is a close supporter. 

They are aggressive now in Libya. Here is a list of countries and map location in the Middle East where the Brotherhood is active.

My view is for them to be so organised and effective in creating chaos - there must be some powerful forces behind them. 

I believe they are here too.
