	Dr. John Garang
		For the majority of his life, John Garang led the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement/Army (SPLM/A) in a long-running civil war that cost the lives of 2 million Sudanese and the displacement, both internally and to bordering nations, of countless more.

		John Garang led the SPLM/A with a tight grip and proceeded to control many parts of his native South Sudan.
