 JUBA, Sudan (AP) - Twenty-one years of civil war have left southern Sudan with roads in disrepair, some of them mined. Electricity is scarce, as are clinics, schools, even police and judges.
But now a southerner has taken his place in the leadership of a unity government pledged to move Sudan toward lasting peace. Hopes for change are high — "even to the extent of expecting miracles to happen overnight," Lt. Gen. James Wani Igga, secretary general of the former rebel Sudan People's Liberation Movement, said in the south's capital, Juba.
SPLM leader Salva Kiir Mayardit was sworn in as Sudan's first vice president on Thursday, replacing the late John Garang.
