谷歌设法将南苏丹列入地图

But Charles Mona, who heads the south's mapping office, said the data that the Google project provides could still help the south in the border dispute.

但是，南苏丹地图制作办公室主任查尔斯.莫纳说，谷歌这个项目所提供的数据仍可能对南苏丹在边界争论中有帮助。

"The data we are having, we are collecting, can show a distinct border between the north and the south, but as I was saying, some people may not accept that fact," said Mona. "So unless that political will is there, it will be not much help."

他说：“我们所拥有的、所收集的数据，能够显示北苏丹与南苏丹清晰的边界，但正如我所说的，一些人可能不接受这一事实。因此，除非有政治意愿，否则没多大帮助。”

Some southern Sudanese also remain skeptical about the project.

一些南苏丹居民也对这个项目持怀疑态度。

Bol Agoot is a 25-year old economics student at Nairobi University and a native of Southern Kordofan, one of the disputed areas.

25岁的波尔.阿古特是内罗毕大学经济系的学生，他是争议地区之一南柯多方的原住民。

"It should start from south Sudan rather than starting from the Diaspora - we are just a group," said Agoot. "We don't know who is doing what in south Sudan. So we expect this program to be between the government and the Google and the World Bank. But the way it is started, it looks like it is the World Bank and the Google and then later they will invite southern Sudan to join them."

他说：“应该从南苏丹而不是从戴斯普拉地区开始 - 我们是一个族群。我们不知道谁在南苏丹做什么。所以我们预计这个项目是政府与谷歌和世界银行的合作。不过从这个项目的启动来看，像是世行与谷歌的项目，然后他们将邀请南苏丹加入。”

The event in Nairobi was the second mapmaking conference hosted by Google and the World Bank, following a first effort in Washington in April. Organizers hope to hold the next session in south Sudan.

内罗毕的这个会议是谷歌和世行举行的第二次地图制作会议，第一次会议4月份在华盛顿举行。组织者希望下次会议在南苏丹召开。
