After 30 years of self declared independence not a single country on Earth recognizes their "independence".
Political violence and electoral disputes during the last election have reignited tribal schisms.
The region is a tinderbox waiting to explode and the upcoming parliamentary elections could prove to be the spark.
However, there is another way.
The leaders of the anti jeegan alliance should openly renounce secessionism and call for the peaceful dissolution of the constitution.
The region should be split into two sub regions, east and west.
A constitutional assembly should be convened to set the stage for reunification with the south along the lines of the 1960 power sharing agreement.The northern region will remain distinct from the south in all areas except foreign, currency and military affairs.
This is the only alternative to renewed civil war and the complete destruction of s/l.
s/l has numerous achievements that can be built upon in a new constitutional arrangement with the south.
