It's happened before (Western Sahara). We've also had new entities replace deleted ones (East Timor) when they weren't judged to be exactly the same.
We can worry about it if and when the proper time to do so comes about. _____ From: kf...@njdxa.org [mailto:kf...@njdxa.org] On Behalf Of Zack Widup Sent: Sunday, August 16, 2009 2:52 PM To: dx-chat@njdxa.org Subject: Re: [DX-CHAT] the sad story of South Sudan - a new country after 2011? Not to make light of the strife and trouble going on there, but I wonder if a deleted country can be reinstated? I have ST0 South Sudan as a deleted entity. 73, Zack W9SZ On Sun, Aug 16, 2009 at 3:19 AM, DAVE WHITE <mausop...@btinternet.com> wrote: Clip from today's Sunday Telegraph.... http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/africaandindianocean/sudan/6034690 /South-Sudan-faces-new-war-over-oil.html It seems that some things never change. I've frequently heard an argument that the worst thing that the old colonial powers did was to put Africans in charge of Africa. It's not an opinion that I hold (actually I think it was just done badly), but examples that spring to mind are the chaos and bloodshed in Rwanda, Burundi, Nigeria/Biafra, Ghana, Sudan, Sierra Leone, Angola, Somalia, Eritrea, Zaire, Western Sahara, Central African Republic etc ... and of course the biggest basket case of the all: Zimbabwe, once the bread basket of Africa and now what? It does make me wonder whether the current outbreak of troubles in Southern Sudan is just tribal squabbling. Conspiracy theorists (and those who know how China operates) may point the finger in their direction, particularly if there's oil and other mineral resuorce at stake. As we know, the Chinese have no morals when it comes to dealing anyone who'll sell them what they need at a knock-down price.... I wonder if the referendum of independence for South Sudan will really go ahead? One thing's for certain: It'll be a brave bunch of guys who mount a DXpedition there! food for thought, eh? cheers Dave G0OIL ----------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe or subscribe to this list.
