The South Sudan People’s Defense Force’s leadership has assured the citizens of what it says a 100 percent security during this Independence Day Celebrations.

South Sudan has not just been grappling with economy challenges but also insecurity in parts of the country due to rebellion, inter-communal conflict,  revenge killing, cattle raiding, child abduction and banditry.

States such as Central Equatoria, Western Equatoria, Lakes, Jonglei, and Abyei Administrative have often experience different forms of insecurity.

In a one minute and 13 seconds video clip yesterday, Spokesperson Major General Lul Ruai said, the army will ensure the citizen celebrate in a free environment, free of harassment, intimidation and insecurity.

He also took the moment to salute fallen heroes and heroines while wishing the citizens a happy Independence Day celebration.
