Decades of civil war waged by Omer al-Bashir and his forces in the north against the people of the south, resulted in the deaths of millions of southerners. There are some 200 tribes in south Sudan, they are Christian and Animist. Peace finally came in 2005. The deal known as the CPA provided for a referendum to take place early next year, at which time the south can vote for their independence. Most of the oil is in the south so no one believes the north, still ruled by Omer al-Bashir will allow the southerners to succeed. I have not spoken to anyone in south Sudan who does not want independence from this brutal and oppressive regime.
