Sudan Referendum
Southern Sudan is poised to have a say in a referendum scheduled for 9th January 2011. Sudan’s president, Al Bashir told Aljazeera that he has exhausted all avenues to convince southerners to vote for unity. He added that most southerners are separatists, and do not have the ability to cater for themselves.
The people of southern Sudan are mature, and have been running their affairs for the last six years, replied SPLM’s Secretary General, Pagan Amoum.
Sudan referendum is a result of 2005 comprehensive peace agreement that ended a two decade civil war between the north and south.
Sixty percent of registered voters have to turn up if the result is to be valid.
