Juba : people dance to celebrate independence |
UNITED NATIONS : United Nations General Assembly admitted South Sudan 193rd member of the United Nations, sealing the new African country's independence after decades of conflict.
The assembly vote, by acclamation, followed South Sudan's independence ceremony in the capital Juba on Saturday, after its people voted in a January referendum to break away from Sudan -- a decision accepted by Khartoum.
