As South Sudan is now separated that means that they now have their independence. Which is a good thing, although with that, their previous peace accord made in 2005, had expired. That peace accord had a huge impact on their economy, it stated that they got 50% of the earnings from their oil. And with that their economy was mainly based on oil.

    Watching the movie Romero I was very intrigued it reminded me a lot of what many civilizations had to go through throughout time. One example, I would like to reference is the fact that the United States ruled Cuba for four years from 1898-1902. The movie Romero was centered around the 70s where the wealthy had all the power and the poor were left in the dust. At some point in the movie I’m not sure at exactly what time in the movie, but one of the characters said the “rich have every right to come together and have their own conference, but when the poor do it only chaos comes their way”. I feel that throughout this movie there was a power struggle between government and their military and the guerrilla Marxist.…
