Dec. 7 2010 Juba (Borglobe) -- The Southern Sudan Referendum Commission has contracted an international company based in the United Kingdom to print ballot papers for the highly valued independence vote slated for January 9 next year, loosely ending a wide suspicion that a national company might be partisan and could deliberately hesitate to print the ballots so as to delay the vote. According to Beatrice Khamisa Wani, a member of Southern Sudan Referendum Bureau, the commission has awarded the ballot paper printing contract to the lowest priced, but technically qualified company, the Tall Security Group of the United Kingdom. | Video: Sudan Poll Could Lead To New Nation - Or War
The people of south Sudan are preparing to vote in a referendum that could lead to the birth of a new nation in Africa - or plunge the region back into war. Registration for the poll ends today, and millions of southern Sudanese are poised to vote for independence from the government in Khartoum on January 9, 2011.

Message of alert! every citizen who is willing to live his/her life in a comfort zone shouldn't be fooled again to think that maintaining a united country is really going to cut it. If there was something important in unity, what happened for all the times we have been staying together? One should ask him/herself this – what were the factors that dragged the country to a war since the country belongs to all of us? This is a mind blowing piece of a trick to see some other folks with the nerves to rally for the "United Sudan!"
