This image was uploaded with an opaque background where it should have been transparent. If possible, please upload a PNG or SVG version of this image, derived from a non-JPEG source so that it has an alpha channel and no compression artifacts (or with existing artifacts removed). If it is not possible to obtain a cleaner version then consider creating a new, derivative, image with the background removed, while leaving this image alone; use templates such as {{Retouched picture}} and {{Derivative versions}} as appropriate; then ignore the rest of these requests. After doing so, please:
This image was first published in Sudan or South Sudan and is now in the public domain, either because its term of copyright has expired, or because it is ineligible for copyright protection according to the Sudanese Law. This work meets one of the following conditions:
It is ineligible for protection because it is "daily news or occurrences of like nature published in newspapers, magazines or other periodicals or broadcast by radio or television".
It is ineligible for protection because it is an official government document, state emblem, or seal.
Article 198 of the Constitution of the South Sudan declares that "All laws of South Sudan shall remain in force [...] unless new action are taken [...]." As there is no new South Sudanese copyright law at this time, the Sudanese one is still in force there.
To uploader: Please provide where the image was first published and who created it.
