It just cannot work in a country of one million square miles, many religions, diverse cultures and hundreds of languages!Black Kushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00344824599797980299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32521070.post-35372690201402639322006-12-13T00:11:00.000+01:002006-12-13T00:11:00.000+01:00I think that each county in Sudan should become as...I think that each county in Sudan should become as autonomous as possible. The Sudanese govt should only act as the international representation of these autonomous counties (same system like Switzerland). <br /><br />Each county decides about which laws are valid in this respective county. That way everybody gets the society of choice.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08287056349151068266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32521070.post-57479229958219469722006-12-12T20:10:00.000+01:002006-12-12T20:10:00.000+01:00Interesting post!

The NIF will try their best to make eure either the referundum never take place, or they cheat! Evryone in the streets can tell you that. I am only disappointed that GOSS is not enlightening the masses enough.<br /><br />You are welcome to Juba. It has been described by many as the biggest village in the world etc. But I guess you will not be disappointed. Come with an open mind!<br /><br />Considering that we are coming out of 21 years of war what more could you expect. For now, the best we are enjoying is that the guns have fallen silent.Black Kushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00344824599797980299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32521070.post-202494200550231202006-12-12T14:38:00.000+01:002006-12-12T14:38:00.000+01:00Southern Sudan is and has been misrepresented in t...Southern Sudan is and has been misrepresented in the north and for this reason must embrace the opportunity to decide on its own future at the referendum in 2011. Of course, there is no doubt that the run up to the great day will be fraught by broken promises and attempts at breaking up all Southern alliances, but there is no doubt in my mind that it will go ahead and the turn out will speak- preferably in favour of secession.<br /><br />I would be delighted to hear about JUBA itself by the way, as i am in throes of moving there from London.<br /><br />what am i to expect or should i not expect a great deal, that sort of thing. <br /><br />thankselandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06830245290446921529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32521070.post-83742311015389313292006-12-12T13:58:00.000+01:002006-12-12T13:58:00.000+01:00Thanks anon for your comment.

It is worth noting that Abel Alier, the former Vice President of the Sudan (from South Sudan) under Nimeri puts it bluntly in his book 'Too Many Agreements Dishonoured'. <br /><br />South Sudanese have lost trust in anything that comes out of Khartoum. The current CPA is being broken left, right and center! The government refused to implement many provisions, the most important being the Abyei border commision, the Oil commission and the redeployment of SAF two years after signing the agreement! Who do you blame when the South decides to go?Black Kushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00344824599797980299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32521070.post-10221077467396587252006-12-12T01:57:00.000+01:002006-12-12T01:57:00.000+01:00I beleive that as a result of such lenthy marginal...I beleive that as a result of such lenthy marginalization South Sudan should seperate. Althout it is a last choice option, I think that all other choices have been exhausted. This opinion results in great part from the oil reserves that Southern Sudan posseses. I find it difficult to beleive that another regime will ever honor the South's right to make desicions reguarding economic resources, infrastructure development and seperation between "church and state" (if you can call it such).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
