Well, it’s a great day for them. We should all celebrate the freedom of our fellow Christians and wish the best for them in the future.
Absolutely a great day. They begin as one of the poorest nations on earth. Nonetheless, Dinka, Nuer, Equatorian, they have all survived. Now they must live together, and they have the human raw material to succeed. Moreso than Ethiopia or Eritrea, even moreso than Uganda and Kenya. They will do so despite having endured so many atrocities including one of the most terrible massacres in human history when the Arabs burned down the Rumbek school and slaughtered the cream of South Sudan’s educated elite. While the USA will piss billions of dollars down the Egyptian rathole, the few thousand spent in South Sudan will go to better effect.
