Numbah said that's true. But by the way Africans don't also care about Americans. Not all Africans, but some particular Africans. Kenya is the most peaceful country in eastern Africa, and the most democratized, economized, and rationale thinking nation. It helped Sudan end it's civil war, and has been the cored peace mediator between the twos in Sudan, so that must be the reason why the realized the notion, and stopped fighting. It has been also hosting many eastern African refugees for 15 years. Yes indeed..the Kenyans themselves were the only ones who made peace between themselves, not from any outside hand. Yes indeed the Bush's administration has been pressurizing the Junta Bashir to have peace with the South; something that, South Sudan does not forget for long time, and must be rewarded with good thing to either US, or any country near by. But does this mean that, this was done because of the oil, as Numbah said?...I'm not yet sure, but I don't think so. If the US did not help in Sudanese problem, the Sudanese would have continued raging the war unless this enemy give up, and make it off; particularly South would have gone far beyond to rage it for the rest of it's long terms, provide that, young men are still fresh; or other wise Sudan would have not care about anybody to bring help. Africa is really suffering, and nobody will make it better than the creator himself.

This story should be getting much more coverage than it is recieving. It seems to be the 4th or 5th story on every news cast. Hundreds of people ore dying and all we care about is the price of oil

It sucks, but as has been pointed out, most Americans don't care about Africa.

This is insignificant to the average American. I've read a little about the story, but it just isn't capturing my attention.

The Third World is the Third World. Party is based upon tribe, clan and family. When a party wins, its adherents and all their relatives get their snouts into the public trough and oink away. To lose an election in those areas may be a matter of life and death--hence the shooting in Kenya.

Significant not so much for the number killed (300 hundred is pretty small beans in Africa, as callous as it sounds), but for the fact that Kenya was one of the continent's more stable democracies. With neither politician backing down, things might get worse before they get better.
