A bit of sadness

Well the Chad supported rebels appear to have made a run for the capital of Sudan, Khartoum. They were right on the fringes, but appear to have been held back. Here is an article from the BBC on this recent development:

And an old article from the BBC on the Sudan rebel's recent run up to Chad's capital of Ndjamena:

If only we can show the benefits of peace...

MISSION

To share value focused on business and peace within the north-eastern region of Africa around the Sudan and Chad.

VALUES

I follow a philosophy of combining my passion and business skills to develop a singular focus on listening to myself holistically, and following my spirit to share value with the world. The following five values summarize my approach to this project:

Healthy spirit - I love myself carefully and listen to all aspects of my spirit when making decisions. Through this, I hear others clearly.
Equity - I respect all life, including when this hurts. This allows me share more effectively.
Value - I focus on using my wisdom to share knowledge and ideas, thus opening opportunities for new value.
Balance - With new value available, I look at the distribution to ensure a balance among all stakeholders.
Global view - Finally, I look at the large scale impact of the value story and how this grows organically to continue creating opportunities for all those involved.

APPROACH

This venture focuses around developing another perspective on the war between Sudan and Chad through the analysis of costs, benefits and value. Value in this sense focuses on the many opportunities available once peace arises. The following areas shall help illuminate this perspective:

The potential reduction in the cost of oil extraction if a regionally brokered peace is established.
The positive GDP affects of peace on the region.

While in Sudan I plan to stay in the capital, Khartoum, and interview business leaders on how a resolution to the conflict would benefit their ventures. The desired outcome of this whole venture is a discussion among regional leadership about the benefits provided through attaining sustainable peace.
