Well given the potential for the referendum and post-referendum violence (of which East Timor stands as an example), and given the history of the conflict in Sudan, I guess I'm cynically pleased that the toll was so low.
I have no doubt that the vote will overwhelmingly be for independence. If it is less than 75% I will be very surprised. What happens to West Sudan will be very interesting however, and probably not in a good way...
