South Sudan Independence Day

Here is an article from the International Herald Tribune on South Sudan gaining its independence from the regime of President Omar Hassan al-Bashir of Sudan, an indicted war criminal.

In the linked-to article, at least when I viewed it, the President of the Republic of South Sudan, Salva Kiir, is shown, wearing a black cowboy hat.  Where do you think he got that chapeau?
