9 Newest Country In The World by Cybercop2002: 11:50am On Apr 03, 2021
This week, Scottish voters go to the polls to make a big decision: Should they stay a part of the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland, or become an independent sovereign state? It's an enormous decision, and the debate over what exactly will happen to Scotland if it does go independent is still waging. One thing is certain, however: if the "yes" vote wins, Scotland will become the newest independent state in the world, pushing South Sudan to Number 2 and Kosovo to Number 3. Support our journalism. Subscribe today. Will Scotland follow the same fate as any of the other young nations in the world? Perhaps, but probably not. A glance down the list of the nine newest sovereign states below reveals that each situation is unique: It's hard to fully equate Scotland's situation with that of Slovakia, let alone with East Timor. Even so, a glance back at history does show that the world's borders are changing more than we might appreciate: And the changes can sometimes take some time to settle.

Cybercop2002:
1.2011 - south Sudan
July 2011 – South Sudan
South Sudan declared independence from
Sudan on July 9, 2011, after a bloody civil
war with the ethnically Arab north that had
lasted decades. Almost 99 percent of voters
had voted for independence in a
referendum, and the new country was
swiftly recognized by the international
community. The United States played a key
role in the South Sudan's journey to
statehood.
However, since independence the country
has faced a number of problems, most of
which can be traced back to two big factors:
1) South Sudan's high poverty rate, 2) the
ethnically diverse political movements in the
country that now lack a common enemy.
Add to that large and largely untapped
natural resources, and you have a young
country that has been beset by political
infighting in the past few years.
Right now, South Sudan is nine months into
a civil war that has displaced a million of its
11 million people, and facing a famine that
could see 50,000 children die before the
end of the year.

Re: 9 Newest Country In The World by Cybercop2002: 12:06pm On Apr 03, 2021
Cybercop2002:
February 2008 - kosovo
Kosovo declared independence from Serbia
on Feb. 17, 2008. The country had been
administered by the United Nations since
1999, when NATO bombed Serbia and
forced then-President Slobodan Milosevic to
withdraw his troops from the ethnically
divided province.
Kosovo's independence was opposed by
Russia, which warned of other breakaway
movements ( worth remembering during the
Crimea crisis) and Serbia, which had
expressed fears for the ethnic Serbs who
live there. While a small majority of U.N.
member states recognize Kosovo, the
country has not applied for U.N.
membership out of concern.
Kosovo's post-independence statehood has
not been free of problems: Ethnic tension
and organized crime remain, and the
country's economy is
clearly underdeveloped (the official
unemployment rate last year was 45
percent).

3.June 2006 - Montenegro - Serbia
Re: 9 Newest Country In The World by Cybercop2002: 12:11pm On Apr 03, 2021
Cybercop2002:
3.June 2006 - Montenegro - Serbia
The single nation of Serbia and Montenegro,
formed after the collapse of Yugoslavia in
1991, changed into the State Union of
Serbia and Montenegro in 2003, and finally
into the two separate states of Serbia and
Montenegro in 2006.
It was Montenegro that ultimately ended the
relationship, with a referendum on May 21,
2006, that found just over 55 percent
wanted to end its ties with Serbia. On June
3, Montenegro declared independence. A
few days later, Serbia followed suit.
Since independence, Montenegro has
applied for E.U. membership, joined the
World Trade Organization, and rehabilitated
its long-exiled monarchy. Generally, it's
economic record since independence has
been viewed positively.
Of course, Montenegro's independence
ultimately left Serbia effectively a "new" state
too, though it was the legal successor to the
union. Since 2006, the country has generally
pursued pro-European policies, and it is on
track to membership of the European Union
(though Kosovo's independence remains an
issue). Under President Tomislav Nikolic,
elected two years ago, the country has tried
to balance a future in Europe with a
partnership with its traditional ally, Russia.

4. May - 2002 east timor
Re: 9 Newest Country In The World by Cybercop2002: 12:14pm On Apr 03, 2021
Cybercop2002:
4. May - 2002 east timor
East Timor, now also known as Timor-
Leste, achieved independence on May 20,
2002, but the country had effectively voted
for independence years before, when a
referendum delivered a clear vote that
clearly rejected the proposed "special
autonomy" within Indonesia. After that
referendum, there was brutal violence in the
region with pro-Indonesian militias
attacking citizens, and a special U.N. force
had to be deployed to the country.
The country had already suffered. According
to a U.N. report from 2006, Indonesia may
have directly or indirectly killed as many as
180,000 people in East Timor after they
invaded the country when its colonial
ruler, Portugal, left in 1975. The situation in
East Timor had made headlines around the
world since 1991, when at least 250 pro-
independence demonstrators were shot
dead.
After independence, some troubles have
remained: In 2006, the U.N. had to redeploy
troops after fighting resumed. However, the
country has enjoyed profits from its large oil
reserves, and enjoyed some substantial
growth: The World Bank says that the "social
and economic development in Timor-Leste
can be seen as remarkable."

Re: 9 Newest Country In The World by Cybercop2002: 12:16pm On Apr 03, 2021
Cybercop2002:
3.October 1994 - Palau
Palau, geographically part of the larger
Micronesia island group in the western
Pacific Ocean, is the least populated country
on this list, with a little over 21,000 people
living on around 250 islands. It became
independent on Oct. 1, 1994, 15 years after
it had decided against becoming part
of Micronesia due to cultural and linguistic
differences.
The islands that make up Palau had passed
through various colonial hands over the
years, before coming under the United
Nations Trust Territory of the Pacific,
administered by the United States,
after World War II. It's relationship with the
United States remains a Compact of Free
Association, which means the United States
offers financial aid and retains military
authority. In 2009, the country agreed to
accept 6 Uighur detainees
from Guantanamo Bay, sparking
controversy. The country is one of the
wealthiest Pacific Island states, and is
known for its tourism industry.

Re: 9 Newest Country In The World by Cybercop2002: 12:19pm On Apr 03, 2021
Cybercop2002:
6.April 1993 - Eritrea
The United Nations established Eritrea as an
autonomous region within the Ethiopian
federation in 1952. However, when Ethiopia,
under emperor Haile Selassie, annexed the
region in 1962, it sparked a civil war that
lasted 30 years. In 1991, the Eritrean
People's Liberation Front (EPLF) ousted the
Ethiopian forces, and on April 27, 1993, the
country declared independence after a
referendum.
Since independence, there have been a
number of disputes with Ethiopia, including
a border war in 1998 that lasted more than
two years. In that time, the country has been
ruled by one president, Isaias Afwerki, who
has been widely criticized for repressive
government tactics, earning the country the
nickname " The North Korea of Africa."

there can never be an end to self-determination, although a long process, sometimes daunting, but given time, effort and determination, it is achievable.
Nigeria is sitting on a keg of gunpowder gradually been pressurized, unless the current leaders wake up to the reality and act with wisdom, it's gradually becoming inevitable.
