What a triumph for former president George W. Bush!
New York Times:
“Christian groups had been championing the southern Sudanese since the
19th century. And their efforts paid off in 2000 when George W. Bush was
elected president of the United States. He elevated Sudan to the top of his
foreign policy agenda, and in 2005, the American government pushed the
southern rebels and the central government — both war weary and locked in a
military stalemate — to sign a comprehensive peace agreement that
guaranteed the southerners the right to secede.
On Saturday, one man held up a sign that said “Thank You George Bush.”
The American-backed treaty set the stage for a referendum this January
in which southerners voted by 98.8 percent for independence.
At 1:20 p.m. on Saturday, the southerners officially proclaimed their
freedom…
…South Sudan’s president, Salva Kiir, wearing his signature black
cowboy hat given to him by Mr. Bush, signed the interim Constitution.”
About that hat:
President Kiir first visited White House in July 2006 and received the black
cowboy hat as a gift from President Bush. Kiir has worn the hat constantly
since then…. |
