The thing about places like Sudan and Somalia or the North-west regions of Pakistan, is that the US and other nations claim that due to their lawlessness and general lack of outside access, they are perfect breading grounds for terrorism, where the ever elusive forces of the worldwide islamist jihad can gather together in secrecy to plot the western worlds demise. But the thing is, this same lawlessness, same lack of access is also used as cover by western nations to perform acts of aggression that they could never get away with in countries with a more developed infrastructure. Case in point, Israel's bombing of a convoy of trucks in Sudan, or any of the recent US drone attacks in pakistan. The same factors that make it hard for Western nations to know what's going on in these regions makes it hard, well, for Western nations to know what's going on in these regions! The Israeli attack occurred about 2 months ago, and it wasn't until a complaint from the Sudanese minister of highways that news of these information slowly leaked into the western world.
Point being that both sides of these conflicts are knowingly using the informational black hole of these regions to perform some very criminal acts.
