I am not for a total redrawing of the map, that would also cause many problems and wars, what is done is done, but we should not be closed minded to the idea of a map being redrawn from time to time.

An example. The Republic of Nothern Somalia is not reconised by many states, and not the UN, because of this insistance not to change Africa's maps. But this country, unlike Somalia, has a working democratic government, is peacefull and stable, and has a working economy.

So let's help them by reconising them, and alowing them to fully break from Mogadishu.

another example. sorry, Sudan will not have peace as a united country. So let's allow the African (black) south to break from the Muslim North, let's have to countries, and stop this deadlly civil war that's bee nraging for literaly 100's of years.

There are examples of place where it is working to combine tribes and nations. Like in SA, where we have 11 official languages and 13 tribes or ethnic groups reconised. Yet no one want s to break away (okay, every now and then the Zulu king talks about having an independent kingdom, but no one takes him seriously anyway, not even his own people).

But this coming weekend I'll have look at the African map and have a go at it!
