: Crawling to the road that would Heal the Rifts and Restore Peace. A Call for Unity

By Kulong Buom Chan, 6th September, 2025.

South Sudan's fragile peace continues to descend into deeper political disintegration; indicators revealed the end of the R-TGONU Agreement stated on February 17, 2025, in the Nasir battle.

The engineered conflicts in Upper Nile State, Western Equatoria, and Central Equatoria's Yei have ignited a renewed wave of unrest, driven by deep-seated mistrust among various factions.

However, it confused many; none couldn't believe that this is the end of revitalised peace. From therein, mistrust obstructs meaningful dialogue and prevents the resolution of complex political issues.

The ongoing violence and political strife threaten to undo any progress made, casting a shadow over the aspirations of a nation desperate for healing and reconciliation.

Evident need, if not addressed, then South Sudan will continue to be ensnared in a cycle of political instability.

At times, we ask—ourselves, questioning the true intentions of our leaders.

Like, do President Kiir and his entire team, as well as Dr Machar, genuinely desire peace to heal the deep rifts that have torn our nation apart?

If yes, then their commitment to peace should be sincere. Our just question is, what are the viable solutions to address the prolonged internal conflicts that have plagued South Sudan for far too long?

This question weighs heavily on the hearts of many South Sudanese who yearn for stability and unity, not me personally.

The answer lies in a heartfelt willingness to engage in dialogue and make genuine sacrifices for the well-being of their citizens.

Both President Kiir and Vice President Machar must recognise that the future of our nation is far more important than personal ambitions or political power.

The relentless pursuit of power and the unwillingness to compromise among South Sudan's leaders could ultimately lead to the country's downfall.

Peace is not merely the absence of conflict; it is a profound and multifaceted ideal that requires active engagement and collaboration from all sides.

True peace embodies unity, mutual understanding, and a shared vision for a better future.

In the wake of the collapse of the 2016 peace accord, which was only revitalised in 2018, the citizens of South Sudan held onto what they believed could be their last hope for stability.

Yet, the quest for lasting peace has become increasingly elusive, further straining the fragile relationships among the warring factions.

The aspirations of the people, who yearn for a harmonious existence, are continually undermined by political squabbling.

Peace requires not just words but concrete action towards steps to inclusive governance and equitable resource distribution.

As citizens, we say the time for rhetoric is over; now is the moment for decisive action and meaningful dialogue. We need peace; we need conducive security.

Look, no country desires peace in the world more than South Sudan; the nation grapples with the consequences of these unresolved tensions, which are fuelled by misunderstanding and lack of genuine reconciliation.

In fact, a hope for peace lies in the hands of those who dare to dream beyond power struggles and embrace the rich potential of a truly inclusive society, at least to prosper.

A bold move taken by Adut Salva Kiir in the reunion of broken ties between leaders.

Following the recent appointment of President Kiir's daughter, Adut Salva Kiir, there has been a glimmer of hope emerging from the shadows of political wrestling in South Sudan.

On 5th September 2025, she made a surprise visit to Torit in Eastern Equatoria and engaged with some of the overlooked communities there on the ground.

Her move seems great and signals a potential shift towards inclusivity and dialogue in a country desperate for healing.

Adut’s promise to extend her visit to Yambio in Western Equatoria further amplifies this sentiment too.

Last week there was a public outcry demanding that she can visit detained opposition leader Vice President Dr Riek Machar in his house, revealing a growing desire among the populace for genuine reconciliation.

Many believe that "her efforts to bridge divides must include addressing the concerns of all political factions, particularly those who have been sidelined," as she could be a person who can deepen the ties.

Her peace tour, both outside and within Juba, is being heralded as a step towards blessing and reconciliation among youths, elders and women who have suffered for too long.

South Sudanese people yearn for more than just promises; they seek tangible steps that demonstrate a commitment to restoring harmony in a fractured nation as well as could pave the way for lasting peace amid ongoing chaos.

Adut Salva Kiir's role is critical in transforming hope into reality, but only if she listens to the voices of all South Sudanese citizens, including those currently in opposition.

May God bless South Sudan, May God bring Peace!

𝗔𝗻 𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗻 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘇𝗲𝗻𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗢𝗶𝗹-𝗥𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲

By Jikany Chap Dobuol

As a concerned youth and a voice of my fellow citizens, I rise today to express my deepest concern over the continued failure of our state government to deliver meaningful development to the people of Unity State.

We, the people, have been told again and again that leadership changes will bring progress. But let us ask ourselves honestly: what difference has there been between the leadership of former Governor Joseph Manytuel Wajang and the current Governor, Justice Riak Biem Top?

In truth, there is no difference apart from the so-called introduction of “mobile courts,” which do little to change the living conditions of our people, Unity State remains trapped in underdevelopment, despite being one of the richest oil-producing states in South Sudan.

Look at the reality around us. We have enormous oil resources and vast potential that should have already connected all seven counties of Unity State with standard roads, modern hospitals, and quality schools. But none of these exist. The pictures before us tell the truth: we are living in a resource-rich state with resource-poor lives.

Take for example the only road linking the Unity Oilfields to Rubkona, particularly between the UNMISS Camp and Rubkona town. This road is shamefully maintained not by our government but by Afghan forces under UN command, whose main interest is securing their own salaries.

When it rains, they take pictures of the flooded road, drain the water, and leave it as it is—while our government stands idle. Why can’t our leaders fix this small seven-kilometer stretch of road? What kind of leadership ignores such a basic necessity while sitting on billions worth of oil revenues?

Or let us recall the road connecting Bentiu to Leer County. It remains in terrible condition, cutting off communities, trade, and services. And what did the current governor do upon taking office? On his very first Monday, he brought in some marram soil between Rubkona and Bentiu town.

That was it. That one act is the only visible development he has delivered since assuming leadership. Is this what we, as Unity State citizens, should accept? Is this what oil wealth was meant for?

Brothers and sisters, Unity State deserves better. Our state has oil, land, and resources that could transform lives. Yet, year after year, leadership after leadership, we remain abandoned, disconnected, and underdeveloped.

As youth, we must raise our voices louder. We must demand roads that connect our seven counties. We must demand hospitals and schools worthy of an oil-producing state. We must demand accountability from our leaders who have failed to turn our resources into real development.

Unity State cannot continue to be a land where leaders enrich themselves while citizens sink deeper into poverty. We must wake up and challenge this government, for silence means acceptance.

The future of Unity State lies not in the empty promises of leaders but in the courage of its people to demand real change.

Kiir, to—reconsider former Special Envoy to the Middle East back.

Kulong Buom Chan, 1st August, 2025

In the midst of this political unrest, neither Europe, the West, Asia, nor the region can reveal that "we are driving our car in the wrong direction." None will disclose this.

Hence, our vulnerability is mother's milk for their economy. This is an undeniable truth, though a bitter one that we must acknowledge.

The persistence of this political unrest misguides our national direction. It is upon President Kiir's prerogative to realign our nation toward correct course.

In this critical time, former presidential security advisor is needed most. As we have observed, the situation is deteriorating in various dimensions.

From economic challenges to political dynamics and pressing environmental issues.

𝗜𝗻 𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗺s 𝗼𝗳 𝗘𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗰

We remain heavily reliant on external funding, as our oil export is no longer helpful.

The lack of production hindered our GDP growth, with 99% of goods being imported from neighbouring countries.

The unemployment rate has reach it is peak, inflation continues to escalate, and crime rates are rising daily.

𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗣𝗼𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗗𝘆𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗰𝘀

With ongoing political and social unrest, both the R-TGoNU and Tumaini agreements are yet to be fully implemented.

The upcoming election is scheduled for 2026, with the potential for an extension. Communities remain uninformed about the electoral process.

The intercommunal and ethnic violence continue raises, which create rampant insecurity across the country.

The presence of militants operating under different commands remains unaddressed. Our diplomatic ties are unstable internationally.

𝗘𝗻𝘃𝗶𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁

We battle with natural and environmental factors, including extreme floods, droughts, outbreaks of diseases, and climate change.

All of these are unjust, even though we have a chance to re–assess, replan, and re-design a strategic path that will guide our nation toward a more promising future.

In accordance with John M. Hobson's Edition, 2003, The State & International Relations, stated that👇

"At the expense of other states, but in such a way that all states can be made, a nation can not exist without others; they all support each other.”

This quote oversimplifies the concept of international relations & re-looks at the interaction of power between states in terms of relationships and economic ties.

A reliable source of funding can be an asset for our nation. Tut's involvement may be instrumental in securing resources & help back South Sudan’s peace process.

Tut is a link in spheres of geopolitics and international affairs for our country with Arab nations, particularly in North Sudan, including Qatar, United Arab Emirates, to enhance our collaborative ties

Since 2013, our reliance on foreign support has been heavy; to build mutual ties with Arab nations is essential in addressing the current economic hardship we face today.

In terms of diplomatic ties, Tut Gatluak is a trusted figure in the Arab world since 2005 in Khartoum, as his past experience can be utilised in South Sudan at this critical time

Tutkew's contributions, particularly in security arrangements, the graduation of Necessary Unified Forces (NUF), and facilitating discussions in the Revitalised Peace Agreement, speak louder.

The late U.S. President John F. Kennedy, in his inaugural address on January 20, 1961, famously stated, "Ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country."

Based on observation, Tut exemplified this principle in contributing to the nation without seeking personal gain, rather focus on "What a country required from him to do."

OUR VOICE FOR RETURN OF HON. TUT GATLUAK TO HELP IN PEACE IMPLEMENTATION

Kulong Buom Chan, 17th July 2025.

To: Office of His Excellency, Gen. Salva Kiir Mayardit, President of the Republic of South Sudan.

Your Excellency,

A wonder of political resurgence in political ideology is always influence a policy 'that's in the best interest of citizens and the party itself.' We raise our voices once again in support of Hon. Tut Gatluak's reinstatement in order to re-build the lost faith in our political structure.

A calm was once returned from Hon. Tut Gatluak's reign from 2017-2024, due to his leadership skills and commitment to helping the people of South Sudan, which are, in my opinion, essential in securing a "Go better in our political situation."

Just in time, Hon. Tut Gatluak has shown us that due to his influence in establishing efficient governance and dedication to the betterment of this beautiful land, the normalcy and tranquillity of our beloved country were undeniable.

His extensive experience in government operations and his skills to navigate complex political landscapes, however, make him a key figure in advancing our national interests.

As cited, in every step, there's a significant chance for person to learn. look, the leader of (MAGA) "𝗠𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗔𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗮 𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗔𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻" Donald J. Trump made a great political comeback in 2024 and won in one of the most tense presidential elections in the USA.

Obviously, as we could see Trump's political comeback, now in Global Affairs, impacted the entire world—the West, Asia, the Middle East, and Africa, particularly in the areas of self-reliance and global funding cuts, and put America first.

This calls for him to return; therefore, will create a conducive political atmosphere in enhancing the effectiveness of our government and strengthen the already partway unity and contribute towards the stability of our nation.

Hon. Tut Gatluak Manime is a beacon of peace, with an aim to achieve a political federation, engaging in the implementation of the 𝗥𝗲𝘃𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘇𝗲𝗱 𝗣𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗔𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 towards 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗚𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 in South Sudan and 𝗧𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗶 𝗣𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗜𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲.

𝗦𝗲𝗽 12, 2018, 𝗥𝗲𝘃𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘇𝗲𝗱 𝗣𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗔𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁

Last time, he was a key advisor to you, Your Excellency. Hon. Tut Gatluak has been actively involved in facilitating discussions and assessments concerning the implementation of this agreement.

In accordance with your instructions, he also worked within the allotted time frame to unite forces in an effort to finish this process, but it was left unfinished because of the continuous political tension.

Hon. Tut Gatluak has been involved in provisioning and logistics, making sure that supplies like food and uniforms are delivered to help in peace efforts. His intention is to ensure the interdependence of these peace initiatives, such as R-TGoNU, and Tumaini, are achieved politically on the table in accordance with the agreement's framework.

𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗚𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 (R-𝗧𝗚𝗼𝗡𝗨) 2018–2025

Hon. Tut Gatluak was in the lead in early 2024, travelling to Nairobi, Dubai, Sudan, Qatar, Kuwait, and other foreign nations to make sure our political trust was earned with other important actors.

All of this is to guarantee that our ties with Sudan & the Middle East are strong. Hon. Tut Gatluak's overall role as a security affairs advisor during his tenure puts him as a heavyweight politician in influencing security and governance strategies within the R-TGoNU framework.

As of now, Hon. Tut Gatluak Manime still extends his support and helps South Sudan in navigating this complicated political landscape in ensuring normalcy among various parties in our government and encouraging inclusive governance with different political factions to enhance peace in the nation.

𝗠𝗮𝘆 9, 2024, 𝗧𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗶 𝗣𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗜𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲

In the Tumaini Initiative, which seeks inclusive governance with holdout groups to bring about a just peace for the people of South Sudan, Hon. Tut Gatluak has a pivotal role in it. Hon. Tut Gatluak made remarkable progress in ensuring the interest of the party is first.

His skills at managing and influence in politics and persuading recalcitrant groups to join the peace accord and strive for a better South Sudan, being aware that there is a good chance for peace.

The return of Hon. Tut Gatluak would surely benefit our nation, as we urge you to consider his priceless leadership and experience. Without a doubt, he has demonstrated in his last role that he can ensure inclusive governance and advanced progress, so having him in your administration would be extremely vital to reaching our common future objectives.

In his tenure in advocating peace and development, Hon. Tut Gatluak is a great gate at overcoming the obstacles that lie ahead, as his experience in conflict resolution and diplomacy is invaluable in addressing the complex issues facing our nation.

Your Excellency,

A political comeback is always a second chance for a politician like Hon. Tutkew Gatluak, who has witnessed and experienced the complexity of political issues. For instance, we seen a bold move from other countries, the late Nigerian president Muhammadu Buhari returned to the office in 2015.

He strengthened the political, social, and economic institutions outlined in the Nigerian constitution. Now, left a legacy that will be remembered throughout West Africa.

Hon. Tut Gatluak's return would instill security and trust in our country and reassure citizens at home and abroad of our dedication to political advancement.

Furthermore, his background in negotiating complex political environments may help in mending rifts and advancing mutual understanding between opposing sides.

All things considered, his reinstatement can represent a step in the right direction towards lasting peace. Hon. Tut Gatluak's leadership abilities and diplomatic skills are essential in handling complicated political situations, so it is impossible to overestimate the potential impact he could have on our nation's future course.

Hon. Tut Gatluak's reappointment would be a ray of hope for our country, encouraging peace among every citizen. His return to office, in my opinion, could establish a standard for amicably resolving disputes and open the door to a better future for all South Sudanese.

He is an effective tool in fostering motion and reconciliation due to his past experiences and commitment to helping others. We urge you to reflect on how his reinstatement would benefit the future of our nation.

Your Excellency,

As your citizens, we rely on your wisdom and leadership to make the best choice for this nation. Despite cultivating Unity and Reconciliation, Hon. Tut Gatluak's return would show the nation's dedication to democracy and inclusivity.

The call of Hon. Tut Gatluak in your government, in my opinion, would usher in a new era of peace in South Sudan. Our beloved president, note the resounding support for Hon. Tut Gatluak's return to office is an important step in rebuilding our nation, where everyone in South Sudan can live in peace and prosperity.

Your Excellency,

We love to see a bright future in you, trust in you, and believe in you, our beloved president. We request your esteemed office to consider our cry and voice to return Hon. Tut Gatluak into your administration for a betterment and lasting peace in our beloved and abundant land.

: 𝗔 𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗼 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁 𝗛𝗼𝗻. 𝗧𝘂𝘁 𝗚𝗮𝘁𝗹𝘂𝗮𝗸 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗲𝗳𝗳𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗦𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵 𝗦𝘂𝗱𝗮𝗻

Kulong Buom Chan, July 13th, 2025,

To our beloved President, His Excellency Gen. Salva Kiir Mayardit, we appeal once again to reconsider our voice to reinstall Hon. Tut Gatluak in any position.

Your Excellency,

In essence, to achieve political and economic stability, there is a key who puts the country's peace and unity ahead of his own shadow in order to attain political and economic stability. Hon Tut Gatluak's presence in the 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗚𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 in South Sudan is missed.

We repeat our cry to you, our beloved President, to reinstate Hon. Tut Gatluak back to us in your government. A strong and capable politician like Hon. Tut Gatluak could flourish in restoring trust and a tenuous peace to the people of South Sudan due to the continuous political squabbling in our nation.

As we've seen in his absence, a lot of hidden things have come to light. Hon. Tut Gatluak's influence is the lone ray of hope for securing a renewed peace accord. Thus, Hon. TutKew's contributions to 𝗧𝗚𝗡𝗨, 𝗥-𝗔𝗥𝗖𝗦𝗦, & 𝗧𝗨𝗠𝗔𝗜𝗡𝗜 𝗣𝗘𝗔𝗖𝗘, are truly a legacy that he has left in South Sudan history.

Beside his political influence, Hon. Tut Gatluak is a socialist who cares about his constituents, reaching out to our most vulnerable communities, particularly those in need. However, now that he has been relieved, we citizens miss his services as the odds now favour in achieving comprehensive peace in our country.

Your Excellency,

The appointment of Hon. Tut Gatluak Manime to your cabinet could significantly alter the prospects for a sustainable peace in South Sudan. I wish one could analyse his role, he, Hon. Tut Gatluak gave his all when he was appointed in 2016 to his previous position as security advisor for presidential affairs, solely to guarantee the security of a better South Sudan.

For us, in order to guarantee our social, political, and security goals are met, Hon. Tut Gatluak's presence in government is beneficial in terms of political influence. With his selfless services to ensure the security of the vulnerable population isn't compromised, Hon. Tutkew Gatluak was at the forefront, fulfilling your promises simply to ensure people of South Sudan have a better chance at rebuilding their lives.

This call, Hon. Tutkew Gatluak Manime, to your administration is a choice to pave the way for peace, as the slow pace of the Revitalised Peace Agreement endangers the well-being of your loving countrymen, Your Excellency. Upon a time, Hon. TutKew Gatluak served; he demonstrated to the people of South Sudan that nonviolence is the path to peace. Carry your message, "𝗜 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗿𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝘄𝗮𝗿," to peace lovers in our country.

As a common citizen, I expresses this truth about a true leader who understands the mandates assigned to him by you, our loving president. We, humbly request that you re-consider our appeals and cries to bring such a peace ambassador to us within your administration.

Your Excellency,

The calls to reinstate Hon. Tut Gatluak back to your administration could extremely stabilise and normalise some pressing issues in our beloved country. The influence Hon. TutKew Gatluak has politically has been a legacy that calmed the worsening situation for almost his entire tenure in the security sector.

In one of the unforgettable moments, Hon. Tut Gatluak is a shoulder to your government. The influence, he, Hon. Tut Gatluak, inserted was tremendous to South Sudanese communities residing in the country. Therefore, Tut Gatluak, mobilise people of his home to rally behind you and defend the constitution of South Sudan.

The challenges Hon. Tut Gatluak faces in your administration have shown that his loyalty to SPLM is extraordinary, knowing that the mighty party can overcome all this pressure.

Your Excellency,

His return into your administration and collaboration in the development of our country is warranted for numerous reasons. From 2016 to 2024, Hon. Tutkew Gatluak worked behind the scenes without chaos happen.

Tut Gatluak Manime, based on the fact we have observed from him during his tenure, is the most trusted leader who knows his mandate and follows his order. These are our reasons, which made me write this article requesting you for his return.

Your Excellency,

In conclusion, Hon. Tut Gatluak's reappointment could help in this instance, as we are at a crossroads. Tut Gatluak is the most respectable person, with his trust, loyalty, and all of his thoughts focused on ensuring the peace of our dear land. As concerned citizens, we will be grateful to see Tut Gatluak reinstated in any official position that will benefit the people of South Sudan.

: The unforgettable journey and the sleepless night of Bor-Nyang Mayom County.

By John Thaloka Tur MBBS.

Oh beloved Country South Sudan you need my help and I'm unable help me oh lord.

27 years ago I left the cattle camp to KhartoumSudan escaping from being a red army in continuation for independent state South Sudan we envisioned, where I used to sleep on a mat in the floor and it's opened from head to bottom without blanket or bed sheets and started my educational endeavor in adult evening classes sleeping on a bed with mattress and bedsheets forgetting the life in the cattle camp my last night in Bornyang reminded me of the life I have left 27 years ago.

Oh my beloved Country you need my help and support which I'm unable.

About 50% of my fellow Country men and women are living underserved in health care system and education, no Boma Health Initiative (BHI)and Primary Health Care Unit (PHCU)

Most people are living on herbal traditional medicine of 17 and 18 centuries for treatment modalities.
Oh my beloved Country you need our help and our sincere support but we aren't able but hopeful and keep striving.

Internal roads connections are very challenging across South Sudan territorial integrity where most leaving the vehicle in the desert better footing in the raining season and as they walked the rain raining on them with their babies and children seeing them you can't control your tears.

Oh my beloved Country you truly need my help and sincere support to progress and looks like the others countries in the world.

Most areas are free roads and free bridges communities since our independence day for the last 14 year on watchful waiting thank God 90% of the rural population trained themselves how to swim to reach their survival and protection in daily life.

I acquired this skills when I was still in the cattle camp but forget most of them for this 27 years of being in the town but this journey reminds me on how to swim thanks God I still knew little to save my life.

Oh beloved Country you need our actual sense of humor and realization of more to be done within your corridors. I remembered how difficult to carry the service to Wangkei and crossing the swamp and streams in Nyagarang to reach the targeted population without vehicle or motorcycle.

Oh my beloved country you need me wholeheartedly to support your service delivery.

The terrible mission in the thick forest of Maban reached a targeted displaced community oh God have mercy on us for our sins to maintain our great and potential dignity and great heroes and heroines.

I envisioned how to reach Juach in Gokmachar and the worst memories of our vehicle in Marol Deng Geng and on our way and as we were coming back in the late evening hours on the thick tropical forest of Awiel only God knows when and where your life is ending to breath.

I remembered the hardest challenge on motorcycles on the road to Mabor Anguei and the whole day mission of Ameeth footing in the water not knowing what is inside the water and grasses to reach the target community in Akoon.

The terrible moment of Anzara and Ezo and the bad day of Yangiri when the vehicle breaks down in the middle of the thickest equatorial forest of Yambio and no any other means of transport only God knows how hardly we reached.
Oh my beloved Country we still have a great things to do.

I envisioned the su***de mission of Pochalla crossing the road to Pinydok to the targeted community of south Sudan.
I can't control my tears when I remembered how the great hero musician Gatdet Chotlit used to sing about Pochalla war and Tharbar Malual in the history of South Sudan struggle.

Oh my beloved country South Sudan we envisioned have mercy on us and may the God of living bring us the spirit of struggle for the independence of this nation back to every South Sudanesewho is still breathing in this Country South Sudan in Jesus name Amen.
