Why did southern Sudan wanted to break away from Sudan?

Asked by Wiki User

There have been tensions between both parts for many years. I think the main reasons were that most Northern Sudanese speak Arabic and are Muslims, while the Southerners were mainly either Christians or believe traditional African beliefs, and are poorer than those in the North. Furthermore, the cultural differences are massive, as the population of South Sudan is split into different tribes.

Africa is basically divided by the Sahara dessert. Like many other land masses such as mountain ranges and bodies of water, deserts work as a way to divide people. Norther Africa was mostly kept separate from the Sub Saharan Africa. As a result they developed there own forms of culture, language, religion and ways of life.

What does the flag of South Sudan mean?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The flag of Southern Sudan was adopted following the signing of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement that ended the second Sudanese civil war. The flag was previously used as the flag of the Sudan People's Liberation Movement. The flag is similar to the Flag of Kenya with the addition of a blue triangle and gold star at the hoist. The colours are said to represent the Southern Sudanese people (black), peace (white), the blood shed for freedom (red), the land (green) and the waters of the Nile (blue); the gold star, the Star of Bethlehem, represents unity of the states of Southern Sudan
