On the same day, the President of the Republic of South Sudan signed the new Transitional Constitution of the Republic of South Sudan. On the 16th July 2011, the RSS became the 193rd member state of the United Nations and on 15th August 2011 the new nation was officially admitted to the African Union as its 54th member state. During this period as a new nation, the President of the Republic of South Sudan has made some decisive statements about the priorities of Africa’s newest nation and on delivering on the expectations of the people of South Sudan including reaffirmation of his commitment to deliver on the South Sudan Development Plan 2011-2013.
