The Lyrics

On July 9, 2011 the Republic of South Sudan gained independence and became the world's newest nation of 8.26 million people. It is the result of an accord to end two Sudanese civil wars and the new Government has been formed from the former rebel army- the Sudan People's Liberation Movement (SPLM) under new (General)President Salva Kiir Mayardit. The new capital is Juba and S Sudan has a new flag. Here's to the 193rd nation!!!
Southern Sudan is new
it’s about time

Conflict over two generations is through
People were dyin’
Or seekin’ asylum

The Arab North couldn’t stand it
Tribal persecution goin’ ‘round
Now a new Government of SPLM
Juba, as capital stands proud

Southern Sudan is new
it’s about time
New flag flyin’ high

Split in two
Split in two
Split in two
One Sudan is no more
Mayardit wants peace
For the S Sudanese
After two civil wars

Embrace democracy
Southern Sudan is new
it’s about time
(to succeed and remain free)

A possible model for dealing with the deep divisions in our country? We tried that before, as I recall. But, things are different now.

Can you believe it? Right after independence, there is already threat of renewed war over oil rights and borders!!!
