Sudan's Referendum

The 9 January 2011 referendum in Southern Sudan is very likely to lead to the creation of a new sovereign state. Decades of civil war have devastated the territory, where basic infrastructure is in ruins, inter-communal conflict widespread and food security a perennial problem. All these issues and more are outlined in this new IRIN film and explored in greater depth in our extensive text coverage.
