• The map shows seven tribes in Sudan.  It might be difficult for all the tribes to cooperate.
• The map shows only three cities.  The cities could be fighting over which city is the capital
• The map shows nine neighboring countries.  Some of those countries could be trying to take over parts of Sudan.
