Stepping away from domestic policy for a moment: The World is welcoming a new nation - South Sudan. The history of Sudan has been rife with trauma over the past several decades. Wars, disease, the mass killings in Darfur - all of which have lead up to the splitting in two of the largest African nation. It is not a perfect solution, but hopefully a big step towards that solution.
Nima Elbagir and Faith Karimi from CNN have written a lovely piece about South Sudan independence. There's also a video of their new President's swearing in, embedded below.
