So how many people have died in Southern Sudan thus far?

"The International Crisis Group said Thursday that the number of dead from the conflict was close to 10,000 people..." Can you imagine? Why there is no proportionate coverage to this carnage there? Simple. 1) Because the West claimed that splitting off South Sudan would end the problems of South Sudan forever. 2) because the major killer in the conflict, the president of South Sudan is a puppet of Western governments.
