That made Mauritania, south of the Moroccan-ruled areas and one of the poorest, most isolated countries in the world, the new transit point of choice. Africans and other would-be European migrants, especially South Asians , began turning up in large numbers . Nuadibu (population: 90,000) found itself hosting more than 10,000 transients in early 2006. Under pressure from Spain, the Mauritanians also cracked down. परन्तु पश्चिम के लिये आप्रवास का सबसे नाटकीय, चिन्तनीय और खतनाक परिणामों वाला घटनाक्रम तो अफ्रीका के सुदूर पश्चिमी तट पर घटित हो रहा है. यह क्षेत्र सम्भावित आप्रवासियों के लिये प्रमुख लचीला रास्ता बनता जा रहा है जहाँ से वे स्पेन और फिर पूरे यूरोप में प्रवेश कर सकते हैं.

Pre-emptive war : Deterrence had long been the policy of choice against the Soviet Union and other threats, but Bush added a second policy in June 2002 , pre-emption. U.S. security, he said, “will require all Americans to be forward-looking and resolute, to be ready for preemptive action when necessary to defend our liberty and to defend our lives.” Nine months later, this new doctrine served as his basis to invade Iraq and eliminate Saddam Hussein before the latter could develop nuclear weapons. अग्रिम युद्ध - सोवियत संघ तथा अन्य खतरों के विरूद्ध शक्ति सन्तुलन की नीति थी परन्तु जून 2002 में बुश ने एक और नीति अग्रिम युद्ध या आक्रमण से पहले युद्ध जोड़ दिया। उन्होंने कहा, “अमेरिका की सुरक्षा के लिए आवश्यक है कि सभी अमेरिकी आगे की ओर देखें और अपनी स्वतन्त्रता और जीवन की रक्षा के लिए जब आवश्यक हो तो आक्रमण से पहले युद्ध के लिए तैयार रहें ”। नौ महीने के उपरान्त उनके इसी सिद्धान्त के आधार पर उन्होंने इराक पर आक्रमण कर सद्दाम हुसैन को समाप्त कर दिया इससे पूर्व की वह परमाणु हथियार विकसित करे।

Israel's long-term investment has paid off. South Sudan fits into a renewed periphery strategy that includes Cyprus, Kurds, Berbers , and, perhaps one day, a post-Islamist Iran. South Sudan offers access to natural resources, especially oil. Its role in Nile River water negotiations offers leverage vis-à-vis Egypt. Beyond practical benefits, the new republic represents an inspiring example of a non-Muslim population resisting Islamic imperialism through its integrity, persistence, and dedication. In this sense, the birth of South Sudan echoes that of Israel. If Kiir's Jerusalem visit is truly to mark a milestone, South Sudan must travel the long path from dirt-poor, international protectorate with feeble institutions to modernity and genuine independence. This path requires the leadership not to exploit the new state's resources nor dream of creating a “ New Sudan ” by conquering Khartoum, but to lay the foundations for successful statehood. A sign at the independence celebrations (edited for meaning, using the Arabic for guidance): “From today, our identity is South [Sudanese] and African, not Arab and Islamic. We are not the worst of Arabs but the best of Africans.” For the Israelis and other Westerners, this means both helping with agriculture, health, and education and urging Juba to stay focused on defense and development while avoiding wars of choice. A successful South Sudan could eventually become a regional power and a stalwart ally not just of Israel but of the West. Jan. 12, 2012 update : In the aftermath of the euphoric independence celebrations, news coming out of South Sudan is pretty bleak, Jeffrey Gettleman documents in “ Born in Unity, South Sudan Is Torn Again .” An excerpt: South Sudan, born six months ago in great jubilation, is plunging into a vortex of violence. Bitter ethnic tensions that had largely been shelved for the sake of achieving independence have ruptured into a cycle of massacre and revenge that neither the American-backed government nor the United Nations has been able to stop. इजरायल के लम्बे समय के निवेश का लाभ मिला है। दक्षिणी सूडान उस नयी क्षेत्रीय रणनीति में पूरी तरह उपयुक्त बैठता है जिसमें कि साइप्रस, कुर्द, बरबर और शायद एक दिन उत्तर इस्लामवादी ईरान भी शमिल हो। दक्षिणी सूडान के चलते प्राकृतिक ससाधनों पर पहुँच हो सकेगी विशेष रूप से तेल। नील नदी के जल की वार्ता में इसकी भूमिका से मिस्र पर भी कुछ दबाव बन सकेगा । व्यावहारिक लाभ से परे नया गणतंत्र अपनी निष्ठा, समर्पण और उद्देश्यके प्रति लगन के द्वारा गैर मुस्लिम जनता द्वारा इस्लामी साम्राज्यवाद के प्रतिरोध का प्रेरणाप्रद उदाहरण प्रस्तुत करता है । इस प्रकार दक्षिणी सूडान का जन्म तो इजरायल को ही प्रतिध्वनित करता है।
