SUDAN CANCELS INDEPENDENCE CELEBRATIONS


This was disclosed by the head of the independence committee, Abdun Agau.
South Sudan won independence from Sudan in 2011 after more than two decades of civil war. In December 2013, the country plunged into a conflict after President Salva Kiir sacked his former Vice President Riek Machar. The conflict has disrupted oil production, the main foreign currency earner.
President Kiir and Machar, the leader of the main rebel group, the Sudan People's Liberation Movement held talks on June 28 in Khartoum in a bid to revive the weakened 2015 peace agreement. Kirr and Machar agreed to the permanent ceasefire mediated by the Sudanese President Omar Al-Bashir under the auspices of the Intergovernmental Authority on Development.
