__Economic Impact__ The economic impact of the JEM (Sudan) and Al-Shabaab (Somalia) is that tourists aren’t willing to visit those countries due to violence and terror caused by these rebel groups. Violence includes burning down houses, raping of women, and killing people. In Sudan, even the United Nations can’t really help because the rebel groups interfere will all deals trying to be established. In Somalia, the Al-Shabaab are capable of interfering with trading imports and exports because of their heavy artillery and their desire to kill innocent people. Rebel groups, including the JEM and the Al-Shabaab, try to overthrow the government. With the government under attacks, that means they have to spend their limited money on fighting back or paying other rebel groups to defend the government. When the government spending the money on civil wars, that leaves the country in poverty.
