The final day of campaigning before a historic referendum is under way in south Sudan, but for many people the future has already been decided.
There is excitement in the air in the capital, Juba, as people look forward to the possibility of a split from the north.

Probably not. When a new nation grows in a world that is changing so quickly, it will be hard to keep up. Just think of it, they need to build a military rather quickly to defend itself against neighbors seeking to get the new nations resources. If it does last, it will be very hard to even get prosperous.
Yes, but preventing the split might mean a corrupted and angry country in turmoil. World aid is likely to come to develop the new country. I doubt that anybody will attack the country as that country will get worldwide antagonism.
Maybe this is progress, and maybe it will bring prosperity and development. Maybe.
