It’s a strange feeling around Bor today. I was moving around town today wanting to take pictures of the place the last day while it is still within Sudan. Normally Fridays are very busy but today it was calm in a strange way. In 1 hours and 58 minutes The Repbublic of South Sudan is born. The last two days people have been happy, cheering and there is so much anticipation about what is about to happen. As I write this there are some random gunshots of light and heavier caliber. Shooting out the old Country. While driving around I did not take any pictures except the one above. I am in the town where the war that has lead to the new Country being born started. I have never been in a place where a country is about to be born. Its a strange feeling but a very happy one.People have struggled , fought and many have died. Elections have been done and it was clear. The people want separation and it is about to happen.  Something very big is about to happen. So big that I think few can actually imagine the historical importance and impact it will have on the people involved. I am glad to be here to see and feel it happening. The birth of The Republic of South Sudan.
