Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you very much to our guests today.
I have a question for Mr. Dean and Mr. Simmons. If the south Sudan votes in favour of independence next January, without having, at the same time, the referendum in the Abyei region, do you think that in the near future, following the referendum, the Khartoum government will allow or not allow a referendum in the Abyei region?
My second question is this. If the south always votes in favour of independence, what are the potential implications for large-scale population movement coming from the south and also from the neighbouring countries following the referendum?
Merci.
