South Sudan is not to be compared at all. The vast majority of the south Sudanese wanted nothing to do with the kleptocracy and fundamentalist regime in Khartoum when it used food to convert them to Islam and this is coming from a Muslim by the way. It was also done after a long civil war in the Sudan always initiated by more kleptocrats.
Being a failed state does not cut it and is irrelevant to the question of independence. One could argue that the nascent US may have gone the way of a failed state and certainly the civil war if the South had successeded would have ended another failed state and a dictatorship.
