A southern Sudanese man rides a motorcycle during sunset in Juba
A southern Sudanese man rides a motorcycle during sunset in Juba, January 5, 2011. The referendum, guaranteed by a 2005 peace deal between north and south which ended Africas longest civil war, is forecast to result in secession, but exactly how the two countries will begin to disentangle their economies, resources and people is far from clear.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Goran Tomasevic, we witness the enchanting beauty of a southern Sudanese man riding his motorcycle against the backdrop of a breathtaking sunset in Juba. The image exudes an air of tranquility and serenity as the warm hues of the setting sun paint the sky with shades of orange and pink. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the historical significance surrounding this moment in time. Taken on January 5,2011, during a period when Sudan was on the brink of change, it symbolizes hope for a better future. The referendum mentioned in the caption refers to an important vote that would determine whether South Sudan would secede from North Sudan after years of civil war. As we observe this lone rider navigating through life's uncertainties amidst such natural splendor, we are reminded that even in times of transition and ambiguity, there is always room for optimism. This image encapsulates not only the physical journey undertaken by this motorcyclist but also represents metaphorical journeys faced by individuals and nations alike. Goran Tomasevic's skillful composition allows us to immerse ourselves in this scene, evoking emotions ranging from curiosity to contemplation. It prompts us to reflect upon how two countries will disentangle their economies, resources, and people following such monumental changes. Ultimately, this photograph captures both an individual's pursuit for freedom and self-determination while serving as a visual testament to humanity's resilience amidst uncertainty.
