It is a fool...

...who rejoices, when the neighbour is in trouble. This ancient Sudanese saying sounds as if it has been invented to mark 9 July 2011, the day when South Sudan becomes the world’s newest state. Simultaneously, North Sudan will become a new state, too. On the occasion of this historic double birthday, journalists from both new countries have asked themselves challenging questions: What do we have in common? What are our differences? What will happen to us now? These themes form the backbone of this newspaper, a bilingual publication which is so inspired by the prospect of two Sudans that even The Nile appears in plural in its title.
