Saturday we stumbled upon a Sudanese celebration in the park. For over 40 years many Southern Sudanese have wanted to have their own country where they would not be second-class citizens under Sharia Law. After more than 90% of the people in the south voted for independence they had this celebration.

Here are some of the sights and sounds.
