It has no port cities. It's surrounded by un-policed, ancient muslim lands and the largest sand desert in the world. Almost every "country" around it is in turmoil every 5-10 years.

Look at Nigeria. They are country of almost 200 million people. That's more than half the size of the US. Ivory Coast, Morocco, South Africa - all port cities where law and order can back itself into a corner and say "see that desert over there - put every good man on that border and we can make an economic killing sending ships out of our ports."

The sad part about this is the sub-textual holy war that we get fed that muslims are fighting christians on a front line that lands itself in the CAR and Somalia and Sudan. This video segment shows that that's really not that case at all - the Muslim and Christian worlds might supply the guns and foreign fighters, but the people who are in the middle of it are just communities who kill each other in retaliation, tit-for-tat. It's the same as gangs in Chicago killing each other for redemption.
