While the parties for celebrating the birth of a new nation are over, everyone knew the next scenario & can start to flair a sort of tragedy is about to come about given the mixed impacts of greeds ( crude oil reserves ), ethic clashes & religious difference..may God bless Sudan ( north & south )..

Bush and his "cowboy" foreign policy.

NYTimes:

"…South Sudan’s president, Salva Kiir, wearing his signature black cowboy hat given to him by Mr. Bush, signed the interim Constitution.”

Strange that there is no mention of the East Africa drought (the worst in 60 years) that is affecting million of people in this area and the fact the al-Bashir is under indictment by the Internation Court for crimes against humanity.

Christopher Goffard, 7/11/11, Los Angeles Times:

" Like many in South Sudan, [Taban lo Liyong, a South Sudanese writer and literature professor at the University of Juba] credited the United States, and President George W. Bush in particular, with pushing north and south toward the 2005 peace agreement that ended generations of civil war and paved the way for partition. But his concerns now have turned to future aid."

"It was George Bush and the Christian fundamentalists who heard the cry of South Sudan," he said. "Today is Barack Obama's day. We don't know what he is going to do."
