South Sudan Leaders Moved Fast on Garang Successor

China Daily has interesting photographs of Rebecca Nyandeng, widow Sudanese vice president John Garang, who died July 30, 2005 in a helicopter crash, and other relatives and supporters mourning his death.

There is also a photograph of Salva Kiir, deputy leader of the Sudan People's Liberation Movement (SPLM), who was chosen August 1, 2005 to replace Mr. Garang as leader of the southern Sudanese. The Reuters article accompanying the photos is quite informative. See "South Sudan leaders move fast on Garang succession."
