John Garang, the dark skinned, stout and grey bearded strong man of the Sudan People Liberation Movement and Army (SPLM/A) was the first vice president in the Sudan from the South. During the last more than 20 years he was opposed to military rule and Islamic dominance of the country. Garang and the Bashir government signed a comprehensive, lengthily negotiated peace deal in January 2005, bringing to an end the civil war. He was charismatic and his uniting ability of the people of southern Sudanese together for struggle for freedom from Islamic oppression. He was a pan-African revolutionary who fought not only for the Southern Sudanese rights, but also for the liberty of other Africans as well. In late July 2005, Garang died after the Ugandan presidential helicopter he was flying in crashed. For many Sudanese peoples it is hard to grasp the significance of Garang's death. Like many African warlords, Garang was controversial in his life, but a national icon in death.
