South Sudan votes on independence tomorrow. While I generally approve of smaller states, it remains to be seen whether this will have a beneficial effect in the region.The problematic region of Darfur is not part of South Sudan.
Capital of South Sudan: Juba
Population of South Sudan: ~9 million
Current map of Sudan
Probably a good thing. Have you seen any maps of how the country will be spit up?
