Right after Mass the results from local polling centers were announced. It's beyond a landslide; it's a total blowout. Again there was 99%+ turnout of registered voters, 99%+ of whom voted for secession.
Both on the way to and from Helio we encountered vehicles that were part of a UN caravan bringing IDPs (Internally Displaced Persons), who had been refugess in the north since wartime, to resettle them in the south. They will be temporarily sheltered at a UNHCR (United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees) reintegration base just outside Torit, where the Red Crescent (a counterpart of the Red Cross that works in countries where there is a strong presence of Islam) is assisting, until they can be relocated near their original homes.
