International Community and a New State in the South!

Khartoum
It is obvious that there are several assumptions, here and there, regarding a great desire from several international powers such as USA, to establish a new state in Southern Sudan through utilizing the self-determination of the region. On the other hand several SPLM separatist prominent figures are pushing towards secession of the region after the referendum. However, political researchers and analysts all over the world are in agreement that the establishment of a new independent state in Southern Sudan seems to be a kind of political adventure and hazard which will lead to dangerous consequences. Observers of the South Sudan issue who visited the region several times believe that the referendum process will be followed by dangerous consequences which will affect in the first place the SPLM, considering that the movement is passing through a crucial stage where any splits will lead to a disaster. Experts from the International Crisis Group consider that the different vision within the SPLM towards the referendum issue which ranges between south Sudan separation and new united Sudan in new basis as one of the most difficult challenges facing the movement. International analysts who are concerned with the Sudanese issues believe that southern Sudan is dominated with long complicated history of ethnic and tribal conflicts as there are militias out of the regular forces in the south which can escalate any conflicts and transform it to bloody clashes, a matter that means that there is a time-bomb which could explode at anytime. The European Union is now whispering with high reasonability in the ears of the international community to work hard in preventing the SPLM from promoting the secession the region considering the above mentioned assumptions. The aspirations of some SPLM figures to establish an independent state in the South fill face uncontrolled difficulties and that is why the international community reconsidered it previous stance after recognizing the reality. It is high time for the two partners to continue discussing the pre and the pro-referendum consequences in full transparency and work together to come out with a plan to maintain the unity of the country as the statements of the leaders of the two parties are very optimistic and encouraging in support of Sudan's unity.
