The Youth Should Be Brave: In The Quest For Change In South Sudan

29th March, 2020

The task for the young people in our country South Sudan, is to fight against the major issues affecting the country.

The transitional government which has just been formed early this year may pave way for greater changes in South Sudan, these changes could result in positive or negative changes.

The youths are the only people who can be instrumental in the quest for change in the country. But many young men who joined the army are held down by their dream to serve the country.

Those who will be in the forefront of political revolution will be the hope for South Sudan to experience great political transformation.

However, the fear of the country's security hostility towards youths may be the obstacle to their dream of the revolutionary transformation.

Currently, the country has several young men and women across the country, regionally, and the diaspora. These selection of young people are the hope for the new day in our country. Given that all the institutional changes will be as a result of their collective contributions.

Due to the negligence, the youths may face  a lot of political crisis currently and in the future. Because the elderly population and the old people holding governmental post have held the status quo as far too long, which seems not to be changing.

Therefore, our call is to have a collective revolution which will deal  with diverse issues in the country's context. Our efforts as the youth will not go in any vain,  because we will experience a positive change in our struggle and beyond.
