December 23, 2014 (JUBA) – The South Sudanese presidency on Tuesday
announced lifting of the dusk-to-dawn curfew which existed in the
capital, Juba.

The new directive reportedly came in the wake of an assessment by a
security council, which was established in the aftermath of last
year’s outbreak of conflict in the country.

Improvements in the general security situation in Juba and its
environs prompted the directive.

“I, Awan Guol Riak, minister in the office of the president, in
accordance with the directives from H.E Gen. Salva Kiir Mayardit,
President of the Republic of South Sudan, would like to inform the
general public that the curfew has been lifted in Juba effective from
23, 2014,” partly reads the order.

“All security organs are hereby directed to adhere to this declaration
and to continue to observe law and order all times”, it adds.
