South Sudan
Paraphrasing a writer from National Review:
South Sudan recently formally selected english as its official language. This new African nation, which is mainly black, and tribal and Christian, attained independence from the arab-islamist government in Khartoum in July 2011. Poor, lacking infrastructure and institutions, and embroiled as usual in tribal conflicts, South Sudan was in need of unifying influences. Its choice of a national language marks a decisive turn toward the West and away from Islam. The english declaration is a good start to unifying the population and trading with the West. "Poor she may be, but in at least one respect [english as the official language] South Sudan is now ahead of the USA".
