To the Leaders of South Sudan
President Salva Kiir Mayardit
Vice president Bol Mel, veterans, Ministers, and fellow leaders of the Republic of South Sudan!
I'm writing to express my deepest frustration and disappointment. As a Dinka, as a South Sudanese, I'm disheartened by the state of our nation.
We struggled, we fought, we bled for freedom. Our parents sacrificed everything. Yet, today, we're left with nothing but broken promises and shattered dreams.
The struggles we faced during the liberation struggle seem forgotten. Our people are suffering, our youth are lost, and our future is uncertain.
Meanwhile, our citizens who fled to Sudan seeking refuge from our country's war are now being abused and mistreated over there. They're being forced into dire conditions, and our government seems nowhere to be seen.
Our people are being forced into military service, chased, deported, and separated from their families. Our children are being captured, taken away from their parents. Our women and children are being targeted.
And where is our government? We've seen no effort to evacuate our citizens, no care for their well-being. It's as if we're not considered national citizens.
You're accountable for the governance of this nation. Your roles demand wisdom, integrity, and service. Instead, we're met with corruption, nepotism, and incompetence.
I hate being a South Sudanese today. I hate being a Dinka, ashamed of the state of our community.
You're the leaders, it's time to act. We're watching, we're waiting. Will you rise to the challenge, or will you continue to disappoint?
Please take me wrongly for your own conservation, But I'm telling the truth.
I hated being abandoned like an older latrine!
