Although we have not heard from the government of South Sudan,
for now, guess they will not change to stay in sync with Sudan.
* NEWS: Mention this.
* africa (Africa/Juba): Now a Zone, with the previous
contents of Africa/Khartoum except for the initial LMT.
* zone1970.tab (Africa/Juba): New entry.
