How South Sudan Defied All Odds to Win Independence (Documentary)

On 9 July 2011 South Sudan held its formal independence ceremony in Juba, an event that marked a departure for Africa. Most African countries became independent on a negotiated “transfer of power” from a colonial authority to a new national elite. South Sudan’s independence came from the directly expressed will of its people.

The journey to independence for the people of South Sudan is a saga of resilience, determination, and unwavering hope. Spanning nearly two centuries, from 1821 to 2011, this path was marked by relentless struggles and profound hardships. Southern Sudanese endured oppressive colonial rule, only to find themselves under the grip of radical Islamic regimes in Khartoum. Despite these challenges, the indomitable spirit of South Sudan’s people remained unbroken.

Their relentless pursuit of freedom and self-determination culminated in the historic independence ceremony on July 9, 2011, in Juba.
