Popular singer Mary Boyoi was one of the few musicians from Juba who were invited in Bor to entertain revelers at a farewell party organised for withdrawing Ugandan People’s Defense Forces (UPDF).
Mary Boyoi and SPLA musician Garang Ateny were among the musicians ferried to Bor in SPLA choppers to entertain jubilant Ugandan soldiers and local residents of Bor town.
Ugandan forces entered the country in 2013 when war broke out to support government against rebels led by Riek Machar. The UPDF forces are required by peace agreement between rebels and government to withdraw from South Sudan.
