South Sudan: President Salva Kiir Honors Liberation Martyrs

South Sudan celebrated SPLM/SPLA Day, honoring the liberation movement that led to independence in 2011. In Juba, President Salva Kiir paid tribute to the martyrs, particularly the 105th battalion forces who fired the first shot in the revolution. Despite this commemoration, the country remains embroiled in an armed conflict between the government and Riek Machar's rebels, ongoing since 2013.
