Sudan

Dramatic and evolving events in Africa were the focus of the Obama administration on Sunday.
President Obama saluted the people of Sudan for their referendum on the future of the nation’s embattled Southern region. The voting is expected to lead to that region’s independence from the rest of the nation.
Obama’s statement said:
“The United States congratulates the Sudanese people, the government of Sudan, and the government of Southern Sudan on the end of their historic, weeklong referendum on the future of southern Sudan. The sight of so many Sudanese casting their votes in a peaceful and orderly fashion was an inspiration to the world and a tribute to the determination of the people and leaders of south Sudan to forge a better future.” /Politico
