Part 2 - With the Lost Boys of Southern Sudan: The Coming Collision in Sudan

In late 2001, Michael Klare published a book with the title, "Resource Wars, The New Landscape of Global Conflict."

Tomgram: David Morse, Energy Wars and Lost Boys in Sudan

If Somalia, occupied by U.S.-backed Ethiopian troops and in the midst of a chaotic, growing insurgency that has hardly been noted here, could well be our new Afghanistan, then what might Sudan be? Perhaps the starting point for the next disastrous oil war on this planet?

Jen Marlowe and Samuel Mayoul Garang interviewed about their trip to Sudan

In May 2007 filmmaker Jen Marlowe and journalist David Morse accompanied several southern Sudanese 'lost boys' back to their homes. The 'lost boys' were children who were forced to flee attacks on their villages in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Jen Marlowe, the award winning director of Darfur Diaries, speaks with Jerry Fowler about the current political landscape of southern Sudan and the connections to the crisis in Darfur.
