Mohammed, on the left, I'm still in touch with. He's now living in Agadez, Niger. More focused on his animals now as tourism has dried up. Is active with a co-op promoting local goods, leather work and bijouterie, into Europe.

I got this from  MFAT, It's kind of fascinating.  I asked about the process by which NZ would recognise South Sudan

First, for many years, New Zealand �s policy has been that formal acts of recognition in respect of new Governments in other countries are unnecessary as a matter of international law and, except in the most unusual cases, undesirable.  New Zealand�s practice, therefore, has been to leave any questions of recognition in respect of new Governments to be inferred from the nature and level of its dealings with such Governments.
 
Second, the Prime Minister and the Minister of Foreign Affairs have both written to their South Sudan counterparts welcoming South Sudan's entry into the world as an independent state and on 14 July in New York New Zealand will also be supporting what is expected to be a consensus resolution in the UN General Assembly on South Sudan becoming the newest Member State of the United Nations.  In addition, New Zealand was represented at the independence celebrations in Juba last Saturday by its Ambassador based in Cairo.

why is it fascinating?, it simply says that as per a rule our govt doesn't outwardly make a big song and dance about supporting new governtments.

The second point states that NZ have welcomed South Sudan to the world. Ain't we nice?

Fascinating is subjective.

It also could be read that NZ won't make its mind up until such time as it sees which way the wind (USA and UK) is blowing.


Susan - corrected!

that's a fair call but as a country we are kinda heavily dependant on both the US and UK, along with China - if they all say Sth Sudan is not a friend I guess we'll follow suit.
