    One of my good friends in college was from South Sudan. I loved watching his eyes gleam talking about being from "the newest country in the world" and about their constitution and stuff. It was sad hearing in later years how much civil war / oil / corruption had hurt his country (both before, and after their independence). His apartment was so bare bones it was crazy to me. He slept on a thick blanket (no "real" bed) and had his engineering textbooks, and his laptop for homework, and that was it. He had nothing else--only what he needed for his education. I need to facebook him and see how he's doing.

Now he lives in Canada and is one of the most popular musicians in Africa. He also gave a ted talk and wrote an autobiography!

He said it was literally the worst place he could think of on planet Earth, that he experienced and witnessed a lot of horrific things there due to the constant conflict.

    I'm South Sudanese. I was in South Sudan when you uploaded this video. (Also keep in mind that throughout these decades, even now, thousands of of my people, my relatives, have been slaughtered mercilessly.) My first cousins had to move out of their home last year because their village was overtaken by militia. They now live in a refugee camp in Uganda, a country that they had never visited before. It hurts my soul, because they used to be regular kids, going to school and singing in the church choir, watching movies, and riding bikes, but now they have looked war and disease and death in the eyes and have become practically homeless in a year and a half. It is really difficult for my parents to contact their siblings, let alone send resources. War is truly a terrible thing.

    So first Sudan had its civil war that resulted in South Sudan splitting off, and then South Sudan had its own civil war going on (though it sounds like some peace is going on currently), so what if they just keep splitting, like next, South-East Sudan gains independence, but then it has some civil wars, leading to the independence of South-South-East Sudan, and so on, forming a golden ratio spiral of Sudans
