*'''Sudan is a threat to African peace.''' By showing an obvious disregard for its own people, Sudan has hinted that it is unlikely to show regard for territorial recognition of its fellow African nations. Such an apathy to African stability is especially troubling considering Khartoum's rhetoric on efforts to become an African superpower. | *'''Sudan is a threat to African peace.'''

+ | **'''History likens Sudan's actions to that of Hitler.''' Precedence shows that countries that start with internal acts of terror are very likely to extend their terror beyond their borders. Hitler's Germany is a prime example of a country that rallied for geographical extension following a removal of domestic human rights. The analogous issue of Darfur does not bode well for the future of Africa if we are non progressive. | ||
*'''Sudan is a threat beyond its own campaign of genocide.''' Sudan has historically been linked to terrorists including Al Qaeda. Sudan served as Osama Bin Laden's base for operation in the past. Many argue that the Janjaweed itself is a terrorist organization supported tacitly by the state. | *'''Sudan is a threat beyond its own campaign of genocide.'''
