Let's celebrate with South Sudan

[France Lamy]

Today South Sudan is officially a new country, the 54th African state. 

Our thoughts, especially on this day, are with our Sudanese friends & colleagues - all the best to South Sudan!

South Sudan: Voices from a new nation
Tens of thousands of South Sudanese have watched the raising of the country's new flag at an independence ceremony in the capital, Juba.

South Sudan's Juba dancing -- Khartoum sad and defiant
For thousands of southern Sudanese it was a night to stay out dancing to welcome the birth of their new nation. For people in the northern capital Khartoum it was a time of sadness mixed with defiance.

South Sudan's independence day
Today is independence day for the Republic of Southern Sudan: a burst of glorious celebration in a region routinely reported in tones of gloom. This is a day that many Sudanese must have thought would never come

Thank you France, Momodou, and all friends of South Sudan. It was all possible because  you cared enough (and continue to). There is a great deal of work ahead, and also for the rest of the marginalized people of Sudan. Our sincere appreciation for all your support.   Best Regards,   Fareed Zein   --- On Sat, 7/9/11, France Lamy <fl...@google.com> wrote:
