Southern Sudan has shown the world that oppression can be overcome by the people, though sadly without even the slightest inclusion of much UN action, which has become commonplace in these areas of genocide and abuse. Fusing activism and governmental principles, the people of the strongly African state have managed to prove their own tenacity in overthrowing the Arab-controlled north, according to most reports.
In a strong promise of democratic rule, the region's executive, Salva Mayardit, has pledged to be an open and free ruler of the new country who will tolerate almost all self-expression by its citizens. The region's oil may also become a valuable source of its economy, potentially overpowering the less resource-laden north by means of its control.
Steps still remain to the country's penultimate freedom however, as a six month program of negotiations must first take place before the new country becomes fully recognized by international bodies. Both sides will need to decide how to fairly split the remaining oil fields and who will control most of the new nation's foreign affairs. These further milestones need to be reached carefully and without angering one side so that the current hate is permanently engendered between the two ethnic and geographic groups.
The international world should join with the southern province in celebrating the new activities and developments achieved by sacrificial decisions by so many citizens over the past three generations in particular. Sudan has accomplished an admirable victory against the forces of overwhelming corruption who sadly infest much of the world in the present day.
America has much to look forward to, so today is the time to welcome this new country into the world as a strong ally for democracy.
