"Today there is no return to war," he said, speaking in the grounds of the presidential state house alongside US Senator John Kerry, who has engaged in intensive talks with northern and southern leaders over the past week to make sure the vote begins smoothly on Sunday. "The referendum is not the end of the journey but rather the beginning of a new one," he said alluding to the six-month transitional period to recognition as an independent state stipulated by the 2005 peace agreement between the Khartoum government and the southern rebels. "There is no substitute for peaceful coexistence," he added. Euphoria gripped the regional capital Juba on the eve of the launch of the week-long polling as people feted the looming end of the long and often difficult countdown. Scene: 'Final walk to freedom' rally for south Sudanese At candle-lit roadside tea stalls and outside darkened corrugated-iron shacks, one of the world's most impoverished populations sat around late into the night eagerly waiting to seize the opportunity to break away from rule by Khartoum. But the celebrations were dented by deadly clashes between the southern army and renegade militiamen in remote Unity State on the border with the north, whose oilfields were a key fighting point in the 1983-2005 civil war. Southern troops killed six militiamen and captured 32 in the two days of fighting without sustaining casualties, military spokesman Philip Aguer said. Unity state is an area where renegade militiamen remain active, and the bloodshed highlighted the fragility of the uneasy peace that has been established over most of the south. The regional government deployed 60,000 troops and police for polling day as it welcomed a host of world figures, including Hollywood actor George Clooney and former US president Jimmy Carter as well as Western envoys. The deputy chairman of the referendum organising commission, Chan Reec, told a news conference in Juba that all the preparations for the "historic moment" had been made. Animated graphic on south Sudan referendum "This is something that has never happened ever since the world was called to creation," Reec said. "Nobody ever bothered to ask the people of south Sudan as to what their destiny should be." Thousands attended an array of free events in the city, including a "final walk to freedom" concert at which local musicians, including former child soldier turned international singer Emmanuel Jal, performed songs about peace and freedom. "It is the contribution of the artists to the nation of south Sudan," said singer Mabior Mach. The conflict between the Muslim, mainly Arab north, and the African, mainly Christian south, has blighted Africa's largest nation virtually since independence from Britain in 1956. It has been fuelled by religion, ethnicity, ideology and resources, particularly oil. In an interview late Friday, President Omar al-Bashir, an army man who led the brutal civil war with the rebels for a decade and a half before finally striking the 2005 peace deal, said he did not believe the south was ready for independence. "The south does not have the ability to provide for its citizens, or create a state or authority," Bashir told Al-Jazeera television. "The south suffers from many problems. It's been at war since 1959," he said. "They believe that the cause of all this suffering is that the south is under the control of the north and they think that they can only end this suffering by separating the north from the south." Bashir said he worried about the impact on the north of the problems an independent south would inevitably face. "If there is a war in your neighbour's house, you will not be at peace." Focus: South Sudan ex-child soldiers swap sword for pen But for southerners the idea that they cannot run their own affairs, however blighted they have been by the long years of conflict, is anathema. To make the point, Kiir signed 16 measures into law in front of the international press on Friday in a move his spokesman said showed the sovereignty of the south and "clears the legal vacuum."
