Southern Sudan is the next biggest investment market in Africa because the infrastructure is zero. People need buildings, power, highways, hospitals — they need everything.Market is ripe but depends on how the referendum works out!!!Wanna bet?  What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul? Mark 8:36

u right dude.been here for 2 years now and the opportunities are massive. Let's pray they separate and be independent come Jan 2011, and be reasonable not to get into Dinka vs Equatorian issues.
The GDP for this part of the world could even grow by over 10% if things are okay

Even my favourite CIC is gearing to enter the SS market! We pray for the peaceful conclusion of this referendum thing and hope the region experiences peace.

CIC?Insurance market is also ripe but they will have to beat the likes of UAP Insurance who've been there since 2005(first foreign underwriter) and have the highest market share(over 35%)+lots of experience.The other 5 companies share the spoils!!!Local companies undercut on premium rates as there is no body to regulate the market like IRA in Kenya.Tough call but lets wait and see.

Other FMs are also non-commercial e.g Catholic's Bhakita. There is only one TV station-SSTV (they used to be in DSTV but pulled out)-No wonder PALEK just gets support from Kenyan votes in TPF4. Some of the main newspapers- Citizen, Juba Post,Khartoum Monitor are not well developed (well sometimes when you read them you might think Citizen Weekly- the Kenyan official tabloid- is very professional) The biggest exploitation will be the returning residents (There are so many in Kenya, Ethiopia, Uganda, UK, USA, Canada and Australia). These people will change the perception a lot. The numbers will be there (am talking of those who will have Purchasing Power). At the moment, though, the economy is NGO driven

That is one of the reasons they are issuing rights to raise money. CIC is the most successful Coop Insurance Companies in Africa. They have been approached by governments of SS, Rwanda and Malawi to help develop Coop Insurance companies in these countries.
