With just days to go until the referendum on succession, spirits were high.
The vote is part of the 2005 Comprehensive Peace Agreement, whic ended nearly three decades of civil war.
There has been much international support for the referendum.
And little overt opposition to the possible succession of the south.
The hope is that the referendum will be a fitting conculsion to the 2005 peace deal.
