All Africa looks at this decision - the Southern Sudan will be a referendum on the state of their own, the Christian inhabitants of hope after decades of oppression at last to freedom. But they risk a lot: a border war, economic chaos and even deeper poverty. Sabri rich two small suitcases and a plastic bag with his previous life complete: The 26-year-old student has put on his best shirt, put the luggage on a Thursday in Khartoum, the capital of Sudan, put on a plane.
Two hours further south, in Juba, he quit and now he sits in front of the airport building in the shade and waits. At a friend, a compassionate driver or even a happy coincidence. Sabri has converted five euros in my pocket, enough for a taxi to the house of his mother. For five years he has not seen his home town.
But Sabri knows the wait. In Khartoum, they have it, let the students from the South, last and often like to wait. They teased him, badgered, harassed. When he bought a few days ago the one-way tickets to Juba, there was the usual student discounts to him suddenly stopped. Sabri received threats: "If you split off, we'll kill you." Government newspapers have called people like Sabni as "unwelcome" and "illegal foreigners".
Sabri takes the advice seriously: On two occasions, 1964 and most recently in 2005, in Khartoum were people chased from the south. Sabri has studied forestry, but in the end they have not given him the diploma. Because he was from the South, because he's only going away to vote for the independence of the South.
"You'll see what you have it," they called after him. Hundreds of thousands sitting on packed suitcases, many southern Sudanese have made their way up to the aircraft as Sabri, buses, barges on the Nile. Conversely, thousands of Muslims in the north have been broken. But the real exodus is yet to come: About two million southern Sudanese are still living in the north.
Hundreds of thousands of them sitting on packed suitcases. The High Commissioner of the United Nations expects to nearly 400,000 refugees who will soon move to the south. The mood is tense in Sudan, Africa's largest country. From next Sunday, it's a week, the South will decide in a referendum whether to secede from the north.
And if not mistaken, the southern Sudan, then the 55th State in Africa. All Africa looks at the decision. This week, been the President Hosni Mubarak (Egypt) Muammar al-Gaddafi (Libya) and Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz (Mauritania) in Khartoum in order to explore the situation and to avoid two things - a new war and further alters in Sudan.
For 40 years the Muslim north and the more Christian south were at war. It was always a conflict between the peoples and the Arab-Nilotics. For centuries, the North had slaves in the South hunted and later never done anything to his economic strengthening. Four decades ago, which cost two million lives.
40 years, the South, with lots of water, fertile soils and blessed, especially petroleum, in one of the most dismal misery regions of the world has ever changed. 2005, we completed both sides of a peace agreement. In the agreement, both sides agreed to a referendum in the south, it should not be progress toward unity.
President al-Bashir charged with secession, but that did not exist to the contrary. The North did nothing to make the southern part of the general government tasty. Roads, bridges, education, health: The South was left to himself. The visits of President Umar al-Bashir remained a rarity.
So now the people are interviewed, and the atmosphere is clear. Even al-Bashir has recognized that. During a visit earlier this week in Juba, he said he would regret a fork of the South - but he would accept them. And he revealed unusual insight: "The attempt to preserve the unity by force, has failed." That sounds quite peaceful.
And yet, although negotiations for months between North and South, crucial questions still far from resolved: What about the future with the nationality of the migrant rights for the nomads, who may use the water who has to assume the existing debt, in all: Where the boundary proceeds, and how are the oil revenues shared? Yes, the name of a new southern states is not fixed yet.
Especially in the Abyei region threatens to escalate the situation. Abyei lies almost exactly on the border, and north and south alike raise standards - not least because there are oil fields. The situation is tricky, because in a majority Christian Dinka of Abyei, but also the Misseryia nomads live with their livestock, and traditional ties to the North they consistently through the region.
There was an agreement that the inhabitants of the region themselves should decide their future - to the north, would not hold it. Now the referendum is exposed in Abyei, but many in the South, especially the Dinka, the dominant ethnic group in the South, Abyei will disclose in any way.
