But the genocide. It seems fairly clear that the Janjaweed had connections with Bashir, or at least Bashir just sat back and let the Janjaweed do as they wished, which is where blame more squarely falls on Khartoum's shoulders, even if Western Oil interests were likely trying to aggravate matters down South (which is very possible)

From my understanding, they did. However, I'll give you a more detailed answer later as I am exhausted and need some sleep (not to mention it's very late here).

But before I go, keep in mind, I'm not saying it's completely the fault of foreign countries. The Sudanese government had the ability to prevent the seccession from happening a long time ago. But, by the time they realized the perils at stake, it was too late.

 

Edit: The Janjaweed and government say it's the Kordofan tribes who perpetrated the attacks.

It's pretty much just the usual tribal warfare you often see that dates back to old days, due to a lack of a truly civilized, united society (though I'd imagine in this case colonization played a huge role in sparking the conflicts). Foreign countries took note, and manipulated the situation.

And it's not really WESTERN oil interests as much as it is Israeli oil interests. Who could blame foreign countries - back when Sudan was still one, it had the 20th largest amount of proven oil reserves. Now the South has 80% of it in their hands.

I personally think if Omar al-Bashir came far earlier, things wouldn't have ended as they did.

Normal tribal warfare that the government did nothing to stop though.

I will grant that Bashir seemed to be on the side of reconciliation, since i recollect him having a Southerner Vice President upon a time (though he died), so there is evidence to support that claim
