Best Answer

There have been tensions between both parts for many years. I think the main reasons were that most Northern Sudanese speak Arabic and are Muslims, while the Southerners were mainly either Christians or believe traditional African beliefs, and are poorer than those in the North. Furthermore, the cultural differences are massive, as the population of South Sudan is split into different tribes.

The broad answer to that question is that Sudan and its southern half just don't have enough in common. For instance, the north is primarily Arabic in culture, whereas the south is tribal black animists.
