Southern and Northern Sudan Likely to Divorce in 2011
David Morse, The Huffington Post | January 27, 2010
Southern Sudan is projected to vote for secession from the North in 2011 elections to be held under the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA). ++ This “failed marriage” of the North and South is unlikely to have an amicable divorce. ++ The US and the UK need to “stop pretending that the marriage can be saved, accept the reality, and help broker an agreement that prepares for the breakup by insuring that both parties' needs are met.” ++ Advocacy groups are urging the Obama Administration to monitor the upcoming election more closely.
