- Physical difference - South Sudan is full of jungles while Sudan is mostly desert.
- Religious reasons - most northerners are Arabic-speaking Muslims while the south is made up of numerous different ethnic groups who are mostly Christian or follow traditional religions.
- Political reasons - with the government based in the north many southerners said they were discriminated against and north and south have fought each other for most of the country's history.
