Roman Catholic Father Thomas Bagbiowia (left) greets people standing in line at an electoral center in Nzara, in Southern Sudan's Western Equatoria State, on November 15, the first day of a 17-day registration period in preparation for January's referendum on secession from the country's north. Bagbiowia, the parish priest in nearby Riimenze, is a member of the local election commission and trained many poll workers. Voters are expected to choose overwhelmingly for independence. NOTE: In July 2011 Southern Sudan became the independent country of South Sudan.
