Why aren't any US or EU media in Souther Sudan, only Al-Jazeera?

Al-Jazeera reports it like a civil war, as if both sides are equal. It isn't. Omar Al-Bashir's Sudanese government (North) has been doing genocide against South Sudanese since years, sponsoring Janjaweed militia to massacre people in Darfur. And the North have a vastly more powerful military and land surface. It's the Muslim Arabs in the North against the ethnic African Christians and native animists in the South, the many Muslims doing genocide against the minority.
It's more like Saddam against the Shia of Basra or the Serbs against the Bosnians. And Al-Jazeera favors the Sudanese government because they are Arabs and Muslims.

Why aren't BBC and CNN and NBC/CBS/ABC and Der Spiegel and France 1/2 and Telegraph and The Guardian and NYT and Wall Street Journal and Washington Post in Southern Sudan (Darfur is part of it) ? Why is the media of the developed world staying out of it?
