I was in Southern Sudan in August 2009 with the International Republican Institute, and the discussion with all the political parties we were working with was about this election.
Tomorrow, those in the South will begin to vote to create their own country, separate from the rest of Sudan. While it’s an exciting time for those in the South, sporadic reports of violence were reported today, but let’s all watch and hope that the results are not mired in more bloodshed for that country.
