Artist shares thoughts on possible Sudan break-up
Millions of people in southern Sudan are preparing to vote in a referendum on independence.
The ballot, which begins on Sunday, is likely to see the south break away from the more developed, Arabic-speaking north.
While much media attention has been focussed on the south, the question of a break-up has huge emotional resonance in the north following years of civil war.
