Death Toll From Fighting in Sudan Tops 71

HeadlineAug 03, 2005

In Sudan, at least 71 people have now died following the death of Sudan’s Vice President John Garang. 800 more people have been injured in sectarian fighting. Garang died in a helicopter crash over the weekend. Garang is a former leader of the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement which fought for 21 years against the Islamic government in Khartoum. It was Africa’s longest and costliest civil war. A peace agreement was signed in January. Three weeks ago, he was sworn in as Sudan’s first vice-president.
