A Sudanese child from the south, wearing a t-shirt with the picture of U.S. President Barack Obama, stands near a shelter at Mandela camp, in the outskirts of Khartoum, July 4, 2011. South Sudan splits away from the north on July 9 to create Africa’s newest nation after southerners voted for secession under terms of a peace deal reached in 2005 to end a north-south civil war.
