Hooray to the world's Newest country!!!


Southern Sudanese in Juba celebrating the 99% independence vote for their independence.

Okay so we don't know what the name is yet. However, many of us remember from Zee Affairs volume 1 that Sudan had a referendum election to see whether or not it would split into two countries (northern and southern Sudan) to prevent the genocide/civil war (what ever we're calling it this week) that has been taking place in the nation for over 4 years. People in what will be southern Sudan have been the victims of many attacks, and because of their skin shade were very easy targets. Will corruption stop? Will the fighting stop? I'm an optimist so I will say that this will be a good beginning. Even though nothing changes overnight, everyone deserves a fresh start. Congratulations southern Sudan! I'm looking forward to July when you become Africa's 54th independent nation.
