S Sudan youth union calls for demonstration in support of Trump election victory

South Sudan’s National Youth Union (SSNYU) on Tuesday called on all citizens in Juba to come out and demonstrate peacefully in support of Donald Trump's election victory on Thursday.

In a public invitation notice seen by Radio Tamazuj, the union said that the peaceful demonstration aims to congratulate and support Donald Trump after he claimed victory as the 45th president of the United States.

The government-backed body pointed out that the demonstration will start from Dr. John Garang Mausoleum to the US Embassy in Juba where they will hand over a congratulatory message to Trump though the US Ambassador.

Last week, President Salva Kiir congratulated Donald Trump on his victory and offered to work closely with him to find a solution to the ongoing war in South Sudan.

Kiir hoped that the new administration can advance respectful bilateral diplomatic ties.
