Sudan Completes 'Successful' Poll

International observers have commended South Sudan for the successful completion of polling in a referendum for independence. Early results indicate massive support for secession from the north.

Staff members at a polling centre seal ballot boxes after a day of voting in El Fasher, North Darfur. Around 20,000 South Sudanese living in Darfur registered to vote in the referendum.
