Sudan will be the target of west soon.....cause west cant allow anyother nation to develop.

BEER (Brewry) is the plant that is being built by the S.A. company(miller). just what evey family looks forward to, dad spending the weeks food money on getting drunk on the weekend. the world at it's best in a land that has a bright future.

[theguyisinthailand]

it is a cat 160h being used, u.s. money buys u.s. goods. china buys from china. this is how the people of the world support actions around the world. the goods can be food/meds or trucks/tanks to help or kill. i hope that people will stop the power game of control and just be good to each other.

africas main problem is the dependancy on the west or on outside help like banks and oil companies, we can not only depend on natural resorces that will lead us on to a dead end, instead let growth take its course slowly let it be even be 20-30 years if it has to, at least this way you will be secured for the next 100 years. make your own destiny it won't be easy but it can be done through presistance..congrats to my ppl of southsudan! from eritrea..

[blakgoldz]

best thing the southerners can do now is to control the market them selfves, so that it doesn't get highjacked by greedy business men. instead of bringing out side help which is giong to cost billions, they should invest in higher education and encorage people to learn skills that can be utillized in the near future, like builders, technichians, engineers, doctors and so on. this way they are not depending on outside help but rather taking their destiny on to their hands. lets not forget

WHITE PEOPLE SHOULD BE KICKED OUT OF AFRICA!

How the Hell do you have a company come into Africa and most of the workers shown here are WHITES!!

[salafiukhti]

let them secede and become their own independent shithole how did that work for any of the other africans countries. the result is usually disastrous it is better if the country unifies and create an environment where all sudanese people can benefit.

[ColdBoi]

The first task would be securing the military's power, than agriculture. Many Southerners still only use cattle herding as their primary food and living source.. The parents are very primitive I would build schools as the next task and have minimal contact between the two, until the youth are at an age where they can be productive.

[Omega3chimp]

They should set up there rail in africa.

[southsudanvoice]

invest in agriculture. from South Sudan

[computer241]

now is a time to give a job to southern sudan people i'm not saying others can not come they can come to southern sudan .....but arabs and muslim are not welcome to southern sudan

[southsudanvoice]

@computer241 these jobs should be taken by Southerners instead of them Kenyan and Uganda. I believe our people can also grow food and sale too. Whats' up with the governmetn not encouraging our own productions

[falloka]

if the corruption in S.S is controlled things would have been 100 times better, but this report doesn't mension that Juba is a drop in the S.S which vast & living in misery while the politician & their tribes r loading planes with Brand new cars from Dubai

[southsudanvoice]

long live South Sudan.. This investment is invest ment of beer and stuff though.. They should have invested in something better..

[michaelmachar]

Somebody say fuck south sudan.Whaat about fuck all of u muslims who say fuck S.S. my friend all i can say is south sudan is going to fuck all u muslims.And that why i love Isreal becuase they fuck all u off. Just wait to see what will happen in 2011. God Bless George W Bush he is the man!!!!

[ixidor16]

its a good thing they are attracting foreign investment already, its the sure way to economic growth taxes taken from the foreign firms can be used to develope the rural areas

[falloka]

yeah but in reality no one is paying any tax thats why they are there pure profit

[johnnyabdullah]

Man, that beverage factory is actually a beer factory in South Sudan. The people are starving yet the South leaders are building beer factories.. No one talks about this but talks about the Darfur region and the North being responsible for Darfur. Who is responsible for the South citizens living in poverty??

[dmanasseh]

Are you series? I didn't know they were more focusing on building BEER FACTORIES instead of building schools or hospitals or more beneficial things.

[monica24b]

@dmanasseh they are building schools, and have many other big projects like juba-nimule ailway but of course the media loves to focus on negative things going on in African countries .

[southsudanvoice]

@johnnyabdullah is your master bashir.

[monica24b]

@johnnyabdullah If you're trying to say southern gov is completely responsible for the poverty you're living in a dreamland.

[mycommentsalwaystrue]

fuck south sudan

[kitayabi]

what this report doesnt point out is that south sudans economy is independently run from the rest of the country,so while sudan is in general is experiencing a boom the south itself isnt.

[YTwatcher38]

thank you for that fact. i didn't know that. i will read on that.

[Morrisko2000]

It should be pointed out that until 2005, south sudan was directly being control from the north. Definitely it will be surprising to expect it to make serious changes within 3 years only

[shapingo]

Sudan actually has very good economic growth trading with China, but like all places in the world; the rich only help themselves.

Come one Nubia rebuild your empire.

[Plutonwolf]

Well said and very wise.

[foxisnotnews]

asmoe this is what we need in africa small step
