Sudan ends first day of referendum on splitting state into two nations Written by RIA Jan 09, 2011 at 11:58 AM Polling stations in Sudan, in which the country may split into two independent countries, closed on Sunday, a RIA Novosti correspondent has reported. Polling stations in 10 states in Southern Sudan, as well as stations in the north of the country, closed at 14:00 GMT. The Sudanese are voting on a referendum to either remain as a unified state or divide the largest African nation of around 44 million people into two states. The elections are being monitored by more than 20,000 observers and over 1,000 journalists from around the world. "Election committees from around the world should study the experience of the Sudanese commission on holding the referendum," the head of Russia's observer delegation, Senator Aslanbek Aslakhanov, told RIA Novosti. The results of the referendum will be announced at the end of voting, which will end on January 15. The majority of Southern Sudanese belong to various culture and language tribes, however, most speak Arabic as do their Northern neighbors. The majority of Southerners are voting to gain independence. Russian Senator Vladimir Zhidkikh, who has participated in over 20 electoral processes around the world, said it would be difficult to complain about the illegitimacy of the elections to the Sudanese governments as everything was well organized. "The technology in holding the polls does not bring about any doubts, the participants in the referendum have a complete stack of accompanying documents [to the referendum], and the process of voting is clear to even those who cannot read or write," Zhidkikh said.

Millions start voting in South Sudan independence poll (2011-01-09) South Sudanese men hold voting registration cards as they wait in the line to vote at a polling station during the referendum in Juba (Reuters) - By Jason Benham JUBA, Sudan (Reuters) - Millions of jubilant south Sudanese started voting on Sunday in a long-awaited independence referendum that is expected to see their war-ravaged region emerge as a new nation. Huge queues built up outside polling stations before dawn in the southern capital Juba where banners described the week-long ballot as a "Last March to Freedom" after decades of civil war and perceived repression by north Sudan. "I am voting for separation," said Nhial Wier, a veteran of the north-south civil war that led up to the vote. "This day marks the end of my struggles. In the army I was fighting for freedom. I was fighting for separation." The referendum was promised in a 2005 peace deal that ended Africa's longest civil war, fueled by oil and ethnicity, between the mostly Muslim north and the south, where most people follow Christianity and traditional beliefs. In the north, the prospect of losing a quarter of the country's land mass -- and the source of most of its oil -- has been greeted with resignation and some resentment. Sudanese president Omar Hassan al-Bashir, who campaigned for unity in the run-up to the vote, has been making increasingly conciliatory comments and this month promised to join independence celebrations, if that was the outcome. U.S. President Barack Obama on Saturday said a peaceful, orderly referendum could help put Sudan back on a path toward normal relations with the United States after years of sanctions but warned a chaotic vote will mean more isolation. Southern president Salva Kiir urged long lines of voters to be patient after casting his ballot at 8 a.m. (0500 GMT). "I believe Doctor John (Garang) and all those who died with him are with us today and I want to assure them they have not died in vain," he said, referring to the southern rebel leader who died in a helicopter crash months after signing the accord. Juba and Khartoum already looked liked the capitals of two different countries on Sunday. In Juba, actor George Clooney and U.S. Senator John Kerry mingled with dancing and singing crowds. Voters waiting outside one polling station burst into a rendition of the hymn "This is the day that the Lord has made." "It is something to see people actually voting for their freedom. That's not something you see often in your life," Clooney told Reuters. In Khartoum voting centres were empty, and southern districts were quiet -- tens of thousands of exiled southerners have returned for the vote. There were no banners acknowledging the historic referendum. ALL VOTE MATERIALS DELIVERED The vote's organising commission told Reuters it had defied gloomy forecasts of delays to deliver all voting materials on time for Sunday's deadline. The logistical achievements have not been matched by political progress. Southerners went to the polls without knowing the exact position of their border with the north or how much of Sudan's debt they will have to shoulder after a split. The two sides have been locked in negotiations for months over how they might share out oil revenues -- the lifeblood of both their economies -- and settle other issues after secession. There is no public sign of progress. The south also will have to face up to its own internal ethnic rivalries and resolve a bitter dispute with the north over the ownership of the central Abyei region, where there were reports of clashes involving Arab nomads on Friday and Saturday. Still, north and south proceeded to the referendum while drawing a line under more than half a century of fighting. "The risk is always there. There is always lots of tinder about and there are a lot of unresolved issues, including Abyei," said Derek Plumbly, chairman of the Assessment and Evaluation Commission that monitors the north-south peace deal. "But neither side really wants to go back to war. I believe they will find their way through."

Abdi the rules for the referendum only apply for the region that is willing to be an independent state, the result of the referendum will be accepted by both groups. Mogadisho allready does not have a thing to say what happends in Somaliland, if you think The TFG cares about their territorial ingegrity your wrong they were willing sell their seashores remember As for you caring about your so called ssc brothers even if you cared a little about them in the name of your clan genealogy you would've helped them fight Somaliland. But you didn't because your a very opportunistic pirate.

Nairobi, 5 January 2011 (IRIN) – Hawa Aden left Bosasso, a Somali port city in the self-declared autonomous region of Puntland, in 2009 on a dangerous boat journey across the Gulf of Aden to Yemen, and then trekked 20 days to reach Saudi Arabia. “I was exhausted and terrified when we got there [Yemen] but I was happy at the same time,” Aden told IRIN. “I thought I had arrived in the land of milk and honey [saudi Arabia].” Hundreds of Somalis undertake the perilous journey to Saudi Arabia via Yemen. However, many end up being deported. According to the UN Refugee Agency, UNHCR, of the 78,487 Ethiopians and Somalis who crossed into Yemen from Somalia and Djibouti in 2009, 685 died at sea. Accompanying Aden on her journey were eight Somali women and seven men. They all made it to Saudi Arabia where Aden found employment as a domestic worker in a small town. “I worked there for one-and-a-half years; it was not perfect but at least I could send money to my family back home, who were all in IDP [internally displaced persons] camps,” she said. One day, she decided to make a trip to Jeddah and was promptly arrested by Saudi police. “I was taken to jail with many other Somalis and later deported to Mogadishu,” Aden said. “I left with the clothes on my back. They would not even allow me to get my last month’s salary.” Aden was lucky she at least had worked for more than a year, unlike Ayan Abukar, 18, who went to Saudi Arabia via Bosasso, the Red Sea and Yemen, and was arrested three months after her arrival. “I was on my way to work when they arrested me,” Abukar said. “I worked for only three months and managed to send money for only one month to my family.” She said it broke her parents’ hearts when she arrived unannounced in Mogadishu. “They were thinking I was in Saudi, working – only for me to show up on their doorstep. My family is very poor. I was their only source of income.” Abukar is determined to try again. “I know the journey is dangerous and I risk being deported again but I have no other option. There is only death here.” Mohamed Abdirahman Ilmi, 19, has a similar story. He left Bosasso in January 2009. “It took us only 12 days to reach Saudi Arabia; we travelled at night and crossed into Saudi when the guards were asleep,” he said. Ilmi said he worked for almost two years and sent money to his family in Mogadishu. “I wanted to save enough to go to a place where I could go to university.” Ilmi said he left Somalia because Mogadishu was too dangerous, “especially if you are a young man. Everyone wants to recruit you into an army [militia].” He said he was arrested in Saudi Arabia with other young Somalis as they tried to buy food. “In jail, the guards were incredibly cruel; if you asked or questioned anything they would deny you food and water,” he said. He said there were beatings and other abuses. “Pray you never end up in a Saudi jail,” he said. Ilmi said he would not attempt the journey from Bosasso again. “We barely survived the last trip; I will take my chances here and enrol in one of the universities here. Maybe there is a reason God sent me back here.” Deportations criticized UNHCR said roughly 10,000 Somalis had been deported from Saudi Arabia in 2010. Roberta Russo, UNHCR spokeswoman, told IRIN: “The large majority of the deportees are not known to UNHCR, as they did not register with our office in [saudi Arabia]. We have very little information about them in [saudi] and also once they are deported back to Mogadishu.” Russo said UNHCR “strongly condemns deportations to Mogadishu, which in this moment is a death sentence. We appeal to all governments not to return Somalis to Mogadishu, where everyday human rights are violated, and civilians are injured and killed by the fighting.” Human Rights Watch, in a statement issued on 22 December 2010, called on the Saudi government to stop deporting Somalis to Mogadishu. “Deporting anyone to a war zone like Mogadishu is inhumane, but returning children is beyond comprehension,” Rona Peligal, Africa director at HRW, is quoted as saying. When contacted by IRIN, Saudi officials declined to comment on the issue. Sheikh Ali Raage, a Muslim scholar, told IRIN the deportations were not compatible with Islam. “Islam calls for the protection of those fleeing conflict, hunger and any other troubles, whether they are Muslims or non-Muslims.” He said they [refugees] should be provided with basic needs, such as food shelter and safety and security. The deportations come as fighting escalates between government forces, backed by African Union peacekeepers, and Islamic Al-Shabab insurgents who control much of southern and central Somalia, including most of Mogadishu. Since 1990, more than 1.4 million Somalis have been displaced internally, and at least 600,000 are refugees in neighbouring countries. ah/mw Theme (s): Conflict, Human Rights, Refugees/IDPs, [This report does not necessarily reflect the views of the United Nations] Source: IRIN
