This work is first published in Sudan or South Sudan. This work is in the public domain due to being ineligible for copyright protection according to the Copyright and Neighboring Rights Protection Act, 1996:

  1. It is ineligible for protection because it is "daily news or occurrences of like nature published in newspapers, magazines or other periodicals or broadcast by radio or television".
  2. It is ineligible for protection because it is an official government document, state emblem, or seal. Article 198 of the Constitution of the South Sudan declares that "All laws of South Sudan shall remain in force [...] unless new action are taken [...]." As there is no new South Sudanese copyright law at this time, the Sudanese one is still in force there.
