The division is the result of the January 2011 referendum on self-determination for southern Sudan provided for under the 2005 Comprehensive Peace Agreement that ended Sudan’s civil war, one of Africa’s longest and bloodiest conflicts.
Delingen kommer som et resultat av folkeavstemningen om selvstyre for det sørlige Sudan, som ble holdt i januar på grunnlag av fredsavtalen fra 2005.
Of more than 3.8 million southern Sudanese who voted, nearly 99 percent chose secession.
