Based on the map, why do you think Sudan might be likely to have a civil war?

• The map shows only one river in Sudan.  It might be difficult to travel in the country.
• 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.
