Referendum

Today was a historic day in Sudan. Southern Sudanese went to the polls to vote for unity or secession from the North. Personally all the people I know are voting for secession, in fact some sources say 99% of Southerners are expected to vote for independence. I’m sitting watching the news coverage in the "safety" of Nairobi, Kenya, right now. The excitement and hope of the Southerners is contagious, but my concern is for what this means for the people in the every day sense. The south is not equipped to educate it’s people. Schools, medical facilities, transportation, government, etc. are inadequate to provide for the people. God knows.
