"As we warned at the time, the independence of Kosovo set a dangerous precedent in relation to imperialist intervention in the creation of artificial states, in line with its geostrategic interests of accessing and controlling markets, natural resources and workforces. The case of South Sudan is similar to that of Kosovo in every way. Specifically, there was the holding of a referendum, financed and promoted by various powers, just in the part demanding independence, as was convenient, without the rest of the country’s population unable to have its say. Added to all this, in the southern part of Sudan, there are large reserves of the oil that is fundamental to big international capital. The current situation, with the conflicts experienced in Sudan and in the whole region breaking out again, and the dispute over establishing its borders, demonstrates that the artificial creation of this country does not resolve any of the existing problems, nor will it improve the standard of living of millions of Sudanese people, but rather it will stir up contradictions and conflict. After the great imperialist powers have finished carving up the African continent in their own interests, everything points to the belief that a process has been restarted in South Sudan which will lead to more wars and suffering for the already severely devastated populations of Africa."@en1
