". . .Are Dafour tribes inferior, as a group, to wallstreet brookers ? in which way ? if so it's just a tought.
Not actually a verificable fact . If you place such a broker alone in the soudanese desert, he' l loose any superioty complex asap.But If the brooker comes with a batallion of military or a group of Rangerovered adventurers, he'll compensate his "natural" inferiority by a kind of imported power imposed on the environment the Dafour tribes can "naturally" tolerate, and similarly a Sudanese countryman parachuted and let alone into Wall street coudn't survive a long time. That desert guy should come with all his tribe , at least, to build together a home in central Park, if the Park rangers let them cut trees to just do that...But actually that group could survive more easily that way in NewYork than the Rangerovered guys let without gas after a while in the desert... who knows... . . ."

Darfour MDCCCLXXVII
In 1877 Gordon was made Governor-General of the vast region south of Egypt including the Sudan. In the Darfour area of the Sudan he had a dramatic confrontation with Suleiman, one of the main slave-traders, and managed by little more than the force of his personality to end a threatened rebellion

I am wondering if Dafour traders could compete with commodity brokers even in a desert context? .H.
