The Republic of South Sudan

The referendum results were officially announced on Monday. 99% of the population voted for separation. Woo hoo! The separation will take place in July and South Sudan will finally be free from the oppression of the North. The Northern president accepted the results which is promising since we were worried about the North starting the war again. Now we wait until July. Then the South will begin the long road of trying to establish themselves in the world. After decades of war, the country is very underdeveloped. They need roads, medical facilities and schools to start with. I think other countries will have to come in and help them. So, we just pray and do what we can to assist them in Tonj.

Thanks for your prayers! This is a huge victory!
