Analysis: Referendum raises expulsion fears
21.09.2010 - IRIN

KHARTOUM - Forced expulsions, violent recriminations, mass exodus, peaceful co-existence - just some of the possible outcomes for hundreds of thousands of Southern Sudanese living in the North, and to a lesser extent, vice versa, after a January referendum when the South is likely to vote to transform its semi-autonomy into full independence ... mehr

Sudanese fear future as historic referendum looms
22.09.2010 - AFP

OMDURMAN, Sudan — Dressed in the flowing white robes common to the mainly Muslim north of Sudan, Kuer Deng does not stand out in the crowded market. But the thick scars sliced across his forehead, cut as a mans rite of passage for the Dinka people, denotes that Deng's ethnic roots lie in the south. "I grew up in the north because my family fled the fighting in the civil war in the south," said Deng, a motor-rickshaw taxi driver. "I'm from the south, but my home is now in the north."

Sudan lays conditions for south independence vote

AP (Associated Press), 28.09.2010

KHARTOUM, Sudan – Sudan's ruling party on Tuesday laid down a series of conditions for holding a crucial referendum on southern secession, including demarcating the borders and redeploying southern forces.

Youth and Sports Minister Hajj Majid Suwar told the state news agency that in addition to drawing up the potential borders between the two halves of the country, southern military units had to redeploy south of the 1956 border.

North and south Sudan fought a brutal 20 year civil war that claimed 2 million lives and only ended with a 2005 peace agreement that stipulated a Jan. 9 referendum over southern secession desires.

The new conditions, which include calls for the south not to interfere with those campaigning for the unity of the country, could be interpreted by the southerners as a stalling tactic by a north reluctant to lose the oil-rich southern half of the country. mehr

The question of Higlig and the separation of southern Sudan
29.09.2010 - New Sudan Vision

(Washington DC) - South Sudanese, will you leave Higlig behind in the name of maintaining peace with the North? Why? Then what will be the meaning of disunity with the North? Higlig is the land where the largest volume of Sudan’s oil reserve sits under. It is located on the periphery of the Unity State’s border with Southern Kordufan. That periphery is someone’s place; my homeland, and hence must not be used to buy the South from its enemy. The oil in Higlig will definitely make it difficult for the people of Panrieng County to find peace during or after referendum, be informed ... mehr

The South, which holds more than 75 percent of Sudan’s oil, is scheduled to hold a referendum on Jan. 9 on seceding from the rest of Sudan. Here’s how one more time might unfold: ... mehr
