South Sudan: The uncertainties of a new state
living in the North (some two million people) to whom Al-Bashir has threatened
not to grant dual nationality. Moreover, the veiled threat that, once rid
of the non-Muslims from the South, he would impose Sharia on the whole
territory of North Sudan, may lead to many of these (mainly Christian) South
Sudanese being forced to leave the North. Such a return to their ancestral
lands by the original inhabitants of certain areas in South Sudan which they
had left because of war, will no doubt give rise to disputes with the present
occupants.
