Aung Myo’s Reading Reflection:
I read an article or a news about political situation in a country, the Republic of Sudan, North Africa.I think It is interesting for all of us because the newest nation was born last Saturday and the map of the world has to be redrawn.
The article I read is about the South Sudan which became the world's newest nation just last Saturday and leaders across the world also send their warmest congratulations to South Sudan on the day it became the world's newest nation. For over the years, there had been civil wars in the country followed by the ethnic, religious and economic conflicts and the civil war pitted a government dominated by Arab Muslims in the North against black Christians and Animists in the South and about 2 millions people died in the fighting. But now the Republic of South Sudan is officially recognized as a sovereign and independent state upon the day of July 9,2011. The Independence ceremony was held in the capital city of South Sudan, Cuba, on Saturday.
But there will be challenging between North and South Sudan for many conflicts and problem still to solve. The two sides must decide on issues such as drawing up the new border and how to divide Sudan's debts and oil wealth as South Sudan is rich in Oil resource more than North's and the status of citizenship is also a key point to be considered. Although there become peace and freedom for South, on the other hand, there are still conflicts between South and North. South Sudan will be develop by using Oil resource but the North may be remain underdeveloped as it has not much any resources.
So question for my classmates is ," How do you think of the future of North and South Sudan?"

May God Bless you all!
Your sincerely,
Mr.Aung Myo Htut (Myanmar)

It is an exciting but scary time for the new Nation of south Sudan. They have many economic obstacles to overcome. We have some students from Sudan studying here at Nazareth. It would be interesting to hear their comments on this subject! Have you had the opportunity to speak with any of the Sudanese students here?
