Thousands of people in Southern Sudan went to vote Sunday in a historifc referendum for an international election. One observer said it was wel handled.
:there were very, very large numbers in the early morning and all day long", says David Carroll, director of the Democracy PRogram. "they were waiting patiently, they were in a a happy celebratory mood. They went through the process in an orderly way. LArgely We saw a very meaning ful,important process that the southern Sudanese are engaging with alot of passion.
When the polls openede @ 8 am many Sudanese's had already been standing in line for hours to cast their ballot.
Those who were still in line at 5pm were alooowed to remain there until they were able to vvote.
"WHat;'s more important than the voting is s that it means that the Sudanese are ready to move into a new era.
Well that's nice to see. Isteade of picketing, and riots we see a part of Africa being civilized people . Maybe there is hope after all. :)
