Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter talks to voters in Juba, Southern Sudan, on Jan. 9, 2011, in a historic referendum on secession observed by The Carter Center. Several million Southern Sudanese voted nearly unanimously for separation from Sudan, resulting in the formation of South Sudan as an independent nation. The Carter Center observed the entirety of the referendum process, beginning in August 2010 and continuing through the conclusion of polling, counting, and tabulation of votes.
