South Sudan this week celebrated its 13th independence anniversary by generating worries to both concerned Africans and faraway allies like the United States, signalling a fall from hope with which the world once saw this youngest nation on the continent.
The country marked Independence Day on July 9 with little fanfare. But it also elicited concerns after the Transitional National Legislative Assembly passed controversial amendments to the National Security Service (NSS) law. Those changes mean the National Security Service can arrest and detain suspects for long periods without need for a court warrant.
