Government Corruption: It is highly likely that no progress will be made within the Sudanese government unless there is intervention from developed nations. The issue with American intervention in Sudan is that we refuse to intervene until they stop committing crime against humanity. Yet, in order for any government to be established or any progress to be made whatsoever intervention must occur. My proposed solution is that the U.S. Government intervene in order to finalize the disputes between Sudan and South Sudan (bring the sides together and orderly figure something out such as the border, population, and oil disputes) and then from there establish a constitution and the building blocks for a government in the country. If these internal issues were solved it would result in food security rising.
If we intervened...
If we intervened, the internal conflicts would need to cease and the government spending/funding would need to be modified. The corrupt politicians are spending money on things that are unknown by its people and other nations. Possibly a conference with leaders of the Sudanese nations to settle conflict and then taking on the issue of where the money in Sudan is coming from, how it is being used, where it is ending up, etc. The suggestion would need to be made that a budget or spending plan be implemented so that the government could begin to acquire money rather than lose it. When the government begins to make money it will be much easier for new agricultural innovations to occur and for the Sudanese people to be fed.
Food Security: With the implementation of a more stable, conflict free government the country would now be able to focus on providing food for its people. Solutions such as somewhat modern or innovative technology to provide crops faster and in higher quantities. Watering systems to deal with the harsh droughts that occur and possibly GMO crops that are modified to withstand harsh conditions. Although, like I said, there are multiple solutions to deal with the agricultural difficulties but I believe that it must begin with the government being fixed to a state where it can move on from all of these internal conflicts, generate a steady income, and eventually then tackle the issue of food security.


How would you like us to intervene?
