The referendum law contradicts the New Sudan Nationality Act of 2003, which is very ethnic in its definition (even more so!) and the 2005-amended 1994 Nationality Act, which is specifically territorial.<br /><br />Mandour's idea of citizenship as a 'reward' for unity-minded NCP-leaning Southerners in the North fits with the branch of the NCP focused on putting out political and divisive statements on the split. It'll be very interesting to see whether there's the political will to establish a real, functioning SPLM-North, or whether it'll be allowed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
