]]> South Sudan’s President Salva Kiir has prayed for forgiveness for what he described as sins he may have committed while exercising his duty as the head of state, reports the privately owned Eye Rdio FM website.

Today was declared a national holiday in the country so that a national day of prayer could be held.

The prayers were held at a gathering in the capital, Juba, at the mausoleum for John Garang, the man considered the father of South Sudan:

President Kiir also called for redemption of the people of South Sudan from the many troubles bestowed on the country:

I pray that you may not bring condemnation and punishment, but forgiveness and salvation to the people of South Sudan.

Most merciful God, through my shortcomings, I have sinned against you in thoughts, in words, and deeds by what I have done and what I have failed to do.”

South Sudan seceded from Sudan in 2011, but two years after independence the world’s newest country descended into civil war.

Tens of thousands of South Sudanese have fled their homes and ethnic violence continues despite a regional peace initiative.

Last month, famine was declared in some parts of the country.

]]> Zambians at home and abroad are in prayer today as they mark the National Day of Prayer and Fasting which is calling for promoting reconciliation, healing and celebrating unity in diversity this year.

“Today is a very important day in our great Nation. It is the day when we need to humble ourselves as a people and have sincere cries to the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. He will hear our cry, forgive our sins and heal our land.” President Edgar Lungu posted on his Facebook page as he encouraged citizens to join in.

Zambia is holding national prayers second year in running, after President Edgar Lungu declared an annual prayer day that also doubles as a public holiday in the county.

According to Zambia reports the opposition United Party for National Development said that it will not participate in the October 18 Day of National Prayers and Fasting.

Most bars, pubs and public places, including restaurants and fast-food outlets, closed in a spirit to enable members of the public to dedicate their time in passionate prayer and fasting according to Lusaka Times.
