The UN, African Union (AU) and other States acknowledged Tuesday the referendum that grants independence to Southern Sudan and called for more efforts to the north and south to avoid any confrontation in the future. "We confirm our acceptance of the outcome of the referendum for the secession of South Sudan," a joint statement released by the Department of State United States.
The note commended the Khartoum government and the future government of the south by the referendum, culminating part of the peace agreement signed in 2005 by both sides that ended two decades of civil war that left more than two million dead. The electoral committee on Monday released the final outcome of the vote, which gave independence for the south with a 98.33% of the vote, held in early January.
