Early on Saturday, Republic of South Sudan was recognized to be the newest nation of the world. For more than 5 decades, it experienced two civil wars described to be bloody after claiming lives of more than two million.
South Sudan’s first president will be Salva Kiir.
Citizens of South Sudan merrily danced on the streets in celebration for such historical recognition. They were even chanting the name of Salva Kiir as their newest leader.
Exactly at 12:01 am this Saturday, the new country of the world was able to claim its independence after a peace deal made way back 2005 which brought an end to the bloody civil war it had endured.
The nation’s freedom brought great happiness to the residents of South Sudan given that many of their loved ones have died fighting for the battle for liberty.
For peace keeping reasons, the Security Council of the United Nations will be sending at least 7,000 peacekeeping authorities as well as 900 policemen to the Republic of South Sudan.
Some individuals intentionally came to Juba, South Sudan to join the celebrations by means of having a street party.
A ceremony is set to happen later this Saturday so as to proclaim South Sudan’s official independence. Famous leaders from across the world are expected to attend.
