South Sudan to become world's newest country

Preliminary results from southern Sudan's referendum show that 99.5 per cent voted for independence from the north.

But there has already been backlash - a mutiny by Sudanese troops refusing to leave the south, has spread through several towns.

At least 50 people have been killed in the past four days.
