The south really wants Abyei; they have a core constituency who reside in the area who believe that Abyei belongs to the south. There are a number of those sons of Abyei in high positions of government in South Sudan, so it's pretty hard for South Sudan to just walk away.

My own country, Slovakia, has been there for South Sudan and its people. We made South Sudan a priority country of our official development assistance and humanitarian aid.

Miroslav Lajcak

I fought for years in South Sudan for the unity of Sudan. I was a commander in the fields, fighting for the unity of Sudan.

Omar al-Bashir

Building confidence and constructive relations between Sudan and South Sudan is urgent

Jimmy Carter

I try not to cover Sudan from afar. I feel really uncomfortable writing about Sudan when I'm not there. It always looks different. When you're outside Sudan it's easy to lose sight of how much of what happens is driven by local politics. And when you're in America in particular, there's this sense that what D.C. has to say is the only thing that counts. Unsurprisingly people in Sudan don't feel the same way.

Sudan cannot afford to be on the wrong side of history. The north and south will have to work together, but will they?

Mo Ibrahim

Working hard - that's South Sudan. We're tall, dark skinned, beautiful - I'm always proud of that.

The governments of south Sudan must make sure that everybody will get a nationality - that nobody will become stateless because of this separation.

Antonio Guterres

I am just back from South Sudan, one of the world's most fragile nations. For years, I have been moved by the kind people who maintain hope that they will live to see peace. My heart has ached for them, as they have endured pain and violence that make such hope feel out of reach.

Forest Whitaker

It's a small world when you're from South Sudan.

Alek Wek

South Sudan is the youngest nation on the planet.

Tom Hiddleston

The international community has to overcome its differences and find solutions to the conflicts of today in South Sudan, Syria, Central African Republic and elsewhere. Non-traditional donors need to step up alongside traditional donors. As many people are forcibly displaced today as the entire populations of medium-to-large countries such as Colombia or Spain, South Africa or South Korea.

Antonio Guterres

I never thought I would see a free South Sudan.

Alek Wek

South Sudan is one of the most hard-put places in the world.

Henry Rollins

While it's easy for South Sudan to feel distant, the situation is all too real for the South Sudanese mothers choosing which child gets to eat tomorrow. This is a time when we must look outward together and declare that humanity has no borders - no one deserves to suffer like this, especially in a world of such abundance.

Forest Whitaker

I don't know anywhere where the people are hungrier for education than South Sudan.
