This work started some few years ago, motivated by internet discussions involving a group of South Sudanese in the Diaspora. A question was floated by the author: "Why must South Sudan become an independent state?" a number of forum discussants contributed with answers to this key question.

I therefore want to salute the efforts of my compatriots Dr. Charles Bakhiet Saki, Mr. Rogato Ohide and others who added some bits of answers to that key question. Their individual intellectual contributions to the initial manuscript are invaluable. If this Book scored some mileage, these compatriots are part of the acclaim.

The contributors address several issues, including mission...
