Final rallies have taken place in south Sudan’s capital, Juba, ahead of Sunday’s vote on independence for the south of the country from the north.
The BBC’s Peter Martell in Juba says there has been a carnival atmosphere as hundreds of people took part in what is called the “final walk to freedom”.
Later this evening, there will be a concert where musicians will celebrate the referendum.
It is part of a 2005 deal that ended a two-decade north-south civil war.
