Dear friends and citizen of South Sudan from all the 64 tribes, opposition and government. Nothing can be true than the truth of many years suffering of our people. As a country we are bless but only lack true leaders who care about our nation future and her people.
Type of leaders we have now are for themselves and their families futures, less about you the people and the nation future.
May we all be reminded, this is a nation which was liberated by all of us contribution through blood and sacrifices of million lives.
The future still hopeful despite the greed by our leaders to enrich themselves and their families at the cost of million others suffering. We the youth if united, hold the keys to the future of South Sudan. Just like you, I did my liberation and diplomatic part contribution.
There are million like me as Akumdit in the 7 front of our nation political movement in the west, USA, Australia, Canada, UK and Africa, holding similar views for the need of the youth to participate in rebuilding effort of our country.
As Akumdit, ending years of suffering has to be a critical goal for South Sudan by we the people. As Akumdit, ending years of suffering will requires our collective effort as a nation and different segments of our south Sudanese societies.
Hear me out my people, ages between 15-50 years , we the young people of South Sudan. Now more than ever, our nation stands at a critical juncture in Africa history and the rest of the world. The future of our country rests largely in our hands and our collective thoughts. We the people and we the youth, are the most vibrant and energetic segment of our society, we have the power to shape our destiny.
Here is Akumdit call to action if there are ears to hear and brains to understand:
