south sudan votes on january ninth on the referendum of seperation and creation of a independent nation of south sudan. leaving the north viable to islamic extremist from the likes of AQIM to AL SHABBAS futher sowing the jihadist bran of turmoil and insurection through out africas north and further creating territory for the caliaphate.with that said the international community should start rolling up thier sleeves and get ready for some old fashion nation building work there is just a viable oppertunity for the non jihadist folks to establish a strong and vibrant country in one of the worlds worse areas,hopefully the international community doesn't just let it die on the vine as it has done with so many other african nations. here is not only a chance for a strong and free nation to prosper but it is also a chance for the rest of the world to do something right by africa.
