Over 5000 police recruits graduate in Southern Sudan

Over five thousand Police recruits have been graduated from Dr. John Garang Police Training Center at Rejaf in Juba on Tuesday. Addressing the occasion, the President of the Government of Southern Sudan, Salva Kiir Mayardit, urged the graduates to ensure security and protect public properties.

The security of the coming referendum is the main challenge that faces the police, Kiir said. He instructed the newly-graduated police recruits to watch those who are committing illegal acts during the Referendum process, commending the successful completion of the training.
