South Sudan is free at last . . .
He is voting for independence, not freedom. They are not the same.For example, Texas has freedom but not independence. Zimbabwe has independence but not freedom.The referendum is about independence. If you want freedom and democracy too, there is a long slog ahead of you. A high level of literacy is probably the first step to aim at. You can't really have freedom unless people can read books and discuss ideas.
Ok, point taken. We are probably like Zimbabwe: in a independent country without freedom!
