The Republic of South Sudan is at this time, the world's newest country, formed in July 2011 and is recognised by the UN as an independent state. Its capital city is Juba . The First and second Sudanese civil wars have been raging in sudan for the last 20 years and so there was a referendum in which 98.83% of the population voted for independence. After independence, there are still at least 7 armed groups still at war with the government.
Monetary Unit: 1 South Sudanese pound = 100 piasters
The note here is a 1 pound note from 2012 with John Garang, who led the Sudan Peoples Liberation Army, on the front and giraffes on the reverse.
