Seeing the secession of South Sudan from Sudan was a joyous occasion for an majority of Southerns. It epitomized the long years of war for self-determination and equality. Although, I have not experience that battle first hand, my parents have. It was a day that my father and mother waited a long time to witness. It was strange watching stoic adults you have grown up with cry. They truly lived with the pains of Sudan's ugly history. For me,the joy came from watching their dreams of nationhood be actualized.
I wonder how these ladies felt that day.
The relationship between North Sudan and South Sudan was one of domestic violence. The split was necessary for the betterment of both sides. Unfortunately this contested divorce has just began.
