Will southern Sudan learn from the African experience?
The knowledge that people posses of the social, political and economic conditions of another country are almost always so divergent and sometimes superficial therefore, the most compelling possible answer whether South Sudan will learn from the African experience embraces certain common approaches. In Africa, most countries seem to roll with Façade democracy to appease the international community. It seems to me that all the old conditions presents themselves again and again resulting in to recurrent and perennial problems like tyranny of public opinion, intolerance etc. therefore, the sources of insecurity in Africa mostly lies in the exclusion and luck of access to power and resources, inter tribal conflicts among others and South Sudan is faced with this inescapable facts. Secondly, the geographical location of South Sudan gives her a very challenging foreign policies coupled with the fact that this new state came into existence with the effort/support from her neighbours. , Historical background as well as inter tribal conflict which was ignored during the time which led to the separation of the south from the North should not be ignored. With numerous tribes in the South, distribution of wealth, and the chances of every tribe wanting leadership of the new state could be some issues that shall manifest though it might not be so soon. The allies of South Sudan who help in the liberation were in a way promoting their foreign policy. No nation can give all the logistical support without projection of the possible gain. This gains often comes in terms of market, minerals, employment etc. which will leading to tensions limiting its possibilities as the government and giving her a tough choice on balancing security and freedom, socio economic conditions from rapid introduction of democracy as well as the interest of the international community which often manifest in terms of capitalism. The government is the major causes of internal peace and order of a nation. Whereas at international politics the nature of a nation’s power suggest the possibilities and set limitations to what the leaders might do, internally, the executives (law enforcement), legislative (translates wishes of the decisive forces in to a body of enforcement rules as legal system) and the judicial (interpreter the law for both the plainfitt and defendant with a court system as effective tools for maintaining domestic peace) systems shall largely determine the readiness to learn form the over African countries. . What are the key necessities for the development for the new state? How shall the local community own the development plan that the government shall make as a priority to ensure that they learn form the mistake of the other African Countries? What shall be the outstanding issues that their constitution shall seek to address? A desirable independent government for a South Sudan shall have to consider having full control of Agriculture, minerals extraction, electricity/power plant development, education policies, constitution that harmonises with a clear future projection, communication i.e. Media policies, economy and social welfare. It is difficult to estimate what the leaders of South Sudan intend to do with power they have. It is increasingly being seen that most leaders in Africa have unattractive ultimate goals often disguised under their leadership. This is often only noticed through their self preservation of power and their manipulation of the constitution. Inescapable fact to the new nation of South Sudan is the capitalist encirclement and how they would deal with it since there is quite a lot of untapped opportunities visa-visa the literacy level. The nature of capitalism could bring tension between the local and international entrepreneur who shall be competing for resources as well as the market. The intention in a capitalist mode of economy often lies in a simple fact that you don’t understand the motive of the players.
