From where I'm standing, this is less than entirely welcomed news. Al Qaeda's supposed second-in-command, Ayman al-Zawahri, is now calling for all good Sudanese Muslims to commit to jihad against the joint African Union/United Nations force. Zawahri is particularly peeved at President Bashir for first making noise about never letting in international peacekeeper and then later agreeing to the 26,000 troop force.
