I was held hostage by the Sudanese Peoples Liberation Army in southern Sudan back in 2003. Good times;-)

Great people.

Sudan will be divided on the TravelBlog database this weekend. It should be showing as 2 countries, on Monday. 😊

Do you happen to have a blog about it? That should make interesting reading. Post the link here, if you do.

Maybe they will decide to change the names of cities, regions... that people they dont approve of named. :D Some countries do. Well, maybe not that extreme, and maybe just things like street names change.

Looks like another new one will be happening in September.

... possible Palestinian bid for recognition at the United Nations in September.
