The week long voting has come to an end and Sudan is preparing for a new chapter of its history. The birth of the world's newest nation is almost certain. The final results that seem to be leaning towards separation will be announced in a few weeks. People in the South have already started to celebrate, but not everyone is rejoicing, as people have mixed emotions about the impact this will have on their lives.
The question of citizenship has been flagged as one of the potential flash points of the referendum. President Omar al Bashir made it clear that no dual citizenship will be allowed. So southerners that would remain here will do so as foreigners.
