Southern Sudan: Early Outcome of the Jasmine Revolution

Tunisia sneezed, and the whole Arab World is catching cold.

But the viral opposition to rabid Islamism, oppression, and corruption started spreading long before in the Republic of Sudan, which has been up to now one country divided by internal strife.

From 2005 to the present day, the civil war ripping that East Arab nation apart was reported throughout the world. George Clooney's star power intervened to capture the world's attention, labeling as genocide the massacre of Christians and Anamists at the hand of President Omer Hassan Al-Bashir's Janjaweed thugs.

Just this year, the Southern part of the nation secede in a widespread plebescite. Christians and Anamists to the South no longer need fear a repressive government run by radical Muslims.

If the civil war in Libya does not end soon, it is very likely that that nation will meet the same fate, cease to exist, and divide in two.
