Today is the seventh anniversary of Martyr's Day. A day to remember Dr. John Garang and the lives lost in the Sudanese civil war (1983-2005) I have not witnessed what happens on this day but I am sure it is peoples demonstration of the fact that the memory of all those lives lost lingers
on in the hearts of all South Sudanese who appreciate the sacrifice they
made for their homeland. South Sudanese Martyrs’ Day, comparable to our Remembrance Day, is a day to remember the self-sacrificial patriotism of the martyrs during the struggle towards liberation.
I just watched the regiments of the army march out of the barracks, marching band announcing their presence, in a parade towards the Memorial grounds for some sort of ceremony for the day.

Sad to think of being at war for that long. A hard fought victory. I wish South Sudan well.
