A female Arab League observer for the Southern Sudan referendum on Friday checks a ballot box in a polling center in the suburb of al-Inkaz in Khartoum, Sudan. Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter called on the international community to forgive Sudan's $39 billion debt burden so that dividing it between the north and south won't become another issue to resolve after Southern Sudan likely votes to become its own nation.
