Ali, a SPLA-N soldier wears a uniform that still bears the vestiges of the yellow GOSS (Government of South Sudan) embroidery below the South Sudanese flag. The SPLA-N is a splinter group from the South Sudanese army that broke off after partition from Sudan in 2011. Sudan has criticized South Sudan for supporting the SPLA-N, a claim which South Sudan denies.
