  South Sudan is indeed Christian - and it has been persecuted by the northern Islamists for decades

  "The Sudanese  civil war culminates a long history in which the North has tried to spread its religion and language to the South, which has resisted these efforts. The introduction of Islam in the seventh century , primarily by traders, then led to descent groups in Sudan tracing their genealogy back to Arabia; in the case of politically or religiously prominent families, they claim to have roots going back to the Prophet Muhammad himself. Islamization set in motion a process of gradual decline for Christianity in northern Sudan, culminating in the overthrow of the Christian kingdoms in 1504 by an alliance of Arabs and the Muslim kingdom of Funj. In due course, Islam and Arabic gained hold in the North and overshadowed and displaced  the indigenous and Christian cultures. "
