Liibaan Posted July 10, 2011 South Sudan and its implication for the Post-Colonial State in Africa By Mupenda Wakengela and Sadiki Koko http://www.isn.ethz.ch/isn/Digital-Library/Publications/Detail/?ots591=0c54e3b3-1e9c-be1e-2c24-a6a8c7060233&lng=en&id=127532 Formation and Trajectory of the African Post-colonial State Virtually every colonised African state achieved independence amidst a passionate discussion among the elite over national unity or the ‘national question’. By people belonging to different tribal and racial groups together to form large colonial empires – as was the in Sudan – colonisation had, in most cases, created states that were strongly marked by internal diversities. But, at the same time, the colonial system also split people and communities that were otherwise politically, economically and socially integrated prior to its advent. [Example Somalia was divided into 5 mini colonies belong to different colonial masters: French Somaliland, British Somaliland, Italian Somaliland, Western Somalia, NFD Somaliland] Moreover, the colonial system managed these multicultural societies with incoherent policies, concerned with the extractive objectives of colonisation rather than the interests of the newly established entities. First, whether British, French, Portuguese or Belgian, “colonialism was based on authoritarian command; as such, it was incompatible with any preparation for self-government.”2 Second, colonial applied what is referred to as ‘differential modernisation’ – giving preference to some communities and geographical areas of the same colonial entity as opposed to others. The objective was to identify local allies that could help protect the colonial establishment and, in so doing, divide the colonised and prevent the emergence of a unified anti-colonisation front among Africans. Third, on the eve of their departure, colonial authorities generally alliances and networks with members of the elite in their strategy to ensure that colonial structures survived the nominal transfer of power to ‘indigenous’ people.

The celebrations for the new South Sudan were marked with jubilant scenes in the new country's capital and other cities as well as in South Sudanese communities throughout the world. The festivities which were beamed live all over the world were closely followed throughout the continent and were attended by top international leaders. The Somali government said it will work with the leaders of the new state in areas of mutual interest and deepen diplomatic and trade ties with South Sudan where a large Somali community have established businesses as their home country reels from two decades of civil conflict.

Well said Som@li, Clan Secessionists can take many lessons from South Sudan. South Sudan Succeeded where Somalidiid-land Clan Secessionists Failed, After 20 years of lies and hating their fellow Somalis, the result was Zero, truth hurts the clan secessionists, they should learn important lessons from South Sudan. Meaning, fake colonial maps/borders are irrelevant and useless in 21 century. What is important is Self-Determination of All People. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Som@li Posted July 11, 2011 ^Saalax, my 4 year son can tell that is fake, can you do better than this? and Salva Kiir is not Obama, I am sure he would happily meet and take photos with Silaanyo. Oodweyne, South Sudan had a pretty strong case, that set for the creation of the new country , and when did "budding relationship" between Somaliland and South Sudan start? TFG can claim that, so is Puntland. And do you expect miracles from new poor country , when the 54 other countries in the continent did nothing for you? It is time to rethink, and learn from South Sudan....No bogus referendum, No claiming of independence without consent from SH Sharif and Mogadishu? and more Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
