South Sudan-Africa's newest state
I do salute South Sudan for managing to be a sovereign state. World leaders did congratulate the new African state and we do it doesn't succumb to what other African Countries face.
South Sudan as a new state will receive massive financial help from other countries, it is rich in oil thus revevnue collection for the country won't be bad. The only problem lies with the eligibility of African leaders. Lets hope that H.E Salva Kiir does not veer off his ideologies and falls in the sweet deep black hole of corruption, power hungry, ethnicity and heavy handedness.
