Dividing Sudan in to two

Sudan will split on the basis of religion. It reminds me of the split of India and Pakistan which was a big mistake. Pakistan is a failed state now. One must remember that in 700 years of Mughal rule, the Muslims found no difficulty living with Hindus and there was no need for a new country. In the Ivory Coast of Africa there is 30 to 40 percent Muslims. But that does not mean every one will vote for a Muslim leader. It is like assuming that every Hindu in India will vote for the BJP. Some times a party that separates religion and politics may be the people's choice. It should be so, else countries will divide by leaps and bounds. It is sad that there was no third party who wanted a united Sudan and that people could relate to.
