Jubilant south Sudanese vote en masse in referendum

Southern Sudanese turned out in jubilant droves Sunday to vote in a referendum expected to lead to the partition of Africa's largest nation and the creation of the world's 193rd UN member state. The poll is the centre piece of a 2005 peace deal with the Arabic north that ended Africa's longest-running civil war. Duration: 01:40.

@CitizenOfUtube Islam is not a dangerous religion. Look at South East Asia, for example, Malaysia. A majority of Muslims there can live peacefully and tolerate other religion. Not all Muslims countries are shitholes. Muslims didn't attack Vietnam. Muslims didn't attack North Korea. Christianity or even Judaism isn't any better. Remember your so-called crusade? Even your American civil war was fought between fellow Christians. Even your fight for independence against the British was the same.

Please can everyone stop swearing and using hateful language. Let's bring peace instead of further hatred.

@MALIRIPPA You really need a reality check. See these type of backward mentality that's why Middle east in Africa is screwed up.

in every religion they always try to convince the poor and forsaken that things are gonna get better and that one must wait for death to realize it. Its pretty damn convenient for the wealthy and powerful to create such a fantasy.....afterall, there are more poor than wealthy. Dont attack the wealthy, dont kill them, dont take from them, dont antagonize them, just relax, wait for sweet death...oh, and dont kill yourself either, the collective poor make the rich richer. Its BOGUS.

@civicnation4two

thats because infidels have a tendacy to think life is for eternity

if u read the Quran u would know that infidels would always have it better Life is short humans dnt live long we might get to 80 90 years old

even with our life spans increasing it still aint eternity

so my point is while the muslims obey the five commands there afterlife will be great for eternity

while infidels have 80 great wealthy happy years and there afterlife will be terrible AND THATS ETERNITY so
