Southerners in Khartoum describe unity vote as symbol of peace

From Sudan-

With south Sudan’s referendum on independence ending on Saturday, some of the southern Sudanese living in Khartoum say they do not see plausible reasons to break up the country, and describe voting for the unity of Sudan as symbol of peace and national integrity.

The seven day voting processes commenced on Sunday 9 and is expected to end on Saturday 15 January. The huge turnout in southern Sudan has been contrasted with a low turnout in the north. Very few southerners registered in northern Sudan to participate at the historical vote, only 116857 people registered in the whole north to vote in the referendum,

According to the figures published by the South Sudan Referendum Commission, there are 36736 people who registered in the three towns of Khartoum state, Omdurman 14667, Khartoum 11617 and Khartoum North 10452. In Haj Yousef voting center the turnout reached 67 percent (553 voters among 712 registered). This percentage is seen one of the highest in the capital.
