It was very interesting to me that in the Olympics opening ceremonies yesterday that despite the parade of nations being in (mostly) alphabetical order, they made sure Sudan and South Sudan were not in the same boat, even though plenty of other nations shared boats.

That’s some serious enmity if they have to keep the Olympic athletes separated by water. No wonder it’s a humanitarian disaster.
