South Sudan became the newest country in the world. It is formed after the bifurcation of the Sudan in to North and South. It is the 193rd country recognised by the United Nations. It is also the 54th country in Africa.
The mention of bifurcation of a country brings to my mind about the partition of India in to India and Pakistan and independence in 1947. The tragedy that followed in which lakhs of people had to migrate and the murder and loot that took place is a painful memory.
Let us hope that the partition of Sudan will not result is such a tragedy.
