Sudan: How Did It Get This Far?

With the official declaration coming today, Sudan will now be two countries. I wondered what happened that lead the southern Sudanese to this action. I found two videos that give a very detailed account of events that lead this point. The first video is about the disputes that arose over oil in which tribes were forced to choose sides in a fight that didn't benefit them. The second video is an Al Jazzera special that gives the entire history of the politics of Sudan and the real reason why the north is Muslim and the south is Christian.
