President Kiir Urged Citizens To Embrace The Spirit Of Peace And Reconciliation As Netizens Celebrates The 12th Independence Anniversary Of South Sudan




Top Trending News Today: 





President Kiir has urged the citizens to embrace the spirit of peace and reconciliation. 


The President made the remarks on the occasion of the 12th Independence anniversary of South Sudan.


A referendum took place in Southern Sudan from 9 to 15 January 2011, on whether the region should remain a part of Sudan or become independent. 


The referendum was one of the consequences of the 2005 Naivasha Agreement between the Khartoum central government and the Sudan People's Liberation Army/Movement.


The prerequisites for the referendum included a census, which was used to define how wealth and political power will be apportioned between the regions of South Sudan. 


On October 2009, the central government of Sudan and the South Sudanese government agreed that turnout would have to be at least 60% of 3,800,000 voters would be necessary to validate.


 In this case, a simple majority vote in favour of independence would result in secession for South Sudan
