Mourners unite across old Sudanese foes at Garang funeral
Thousands attend the Juba ceremony for John Garang, the Southern Sudanese rebel leader turned vice president, as former enemies stand shoulder to shoulder. Salva Kiir pledges the torch shall not be extinguished. Rioting in Khartoum earlier gave way to a tense, peaceful scene at the graveside. Garang brokered a hard won peace and spoke seven languages, uniting a nation long torn by war.
