Limits Of Political Liberty: The Conditions Of Class Struggle In South Sudan

April/7/2020


In this article, I will explore the limits of liberty and the conditions of class struggle in the context of the youngest  country, South Sudan.



 Limits of Political Liberty in South Sudan:

Liberty is the ability to do as one pleases. In modern politics, liberty is the state of being free within society from oppressive restrictions imposed by authority on one's way of life, behaviour, or political views. In philosophy, liberty involves free will as contrasted with determinism. In theology, liberty is freedom from the effects of "sin, spiritual servitude, [or] worldly ties".~Wikipedia

With regards to the definition of liberty, I will undertake the views on liberty in the context of modern politics and the changes it generates.  This will be based on South Sudan as the mother land.

In South Sudan, the population of the 12 millions is full of the degenerate politicians. In that, they care less of their subjects and more about themselves.

Their incompetency has led to the decline of almost everyone in terms of genuine political thoughts.  However much, the young people are doing their best to change the status quo. The degenerate politicians are rigid to change.


In a country in a dire political transition, the youths are the most vulnerable in the population of 12 millions. Their collective struggle is not listened to, these youths right now, do not need guns to fight for Change. The time for guns is gone, they need to use genuine means to communicate their struggle in a peaceful manner.

We have had military and political liberty waged by our predecessors in the movement of 1980s and 90s.  This brought peace and independence in South Sudan. But did we see the development our respective states after independence; we instead saw another civil war which has bred nothing but decline.

We therefore do not have any limits of political  liberty to struggle for change. We may struggle today, and our next generation will still struggle for a different course in their lives in the next decades.


The Conditions of Class Struggle in South Sudan:


Our struggle is social collectivists movement.  We are struggling for generational changes and class struggle with their transitions.

 One can not stand the current political climate of our country; in which there's little or  no great transformation in various states in the country. We need to see change.

The conditions have worsened, the people are constantly fighting themselves in the states.  This is due to lack of good governance in place.

Some states, lacks proper representation in the national government. Where did they go wrong, and why are the people in highest positions of decision making in the country so blind to such a level?

The classes may not be divided, it is in actuality collectivists movement.  In such a way that, the old class of people who in their views and actions supports the youth will join hands with youths in their movement.

Our political atmosphere is not favorable, it will not be favorable to some people in this political struggle. This is due to harshness of the security departments in the country.


They have taken the move in the past to disadvantaged the youth whose voices where questioning the government in South Sudan.

Some of them where killed and others silenced by the same body of security departments.


How will change come when people are subjected to brutality?

The youths should not fear the elements who are resistant to change. In fact there's always resistance in the face of political struggle. It makes the movement focused to their course.

Hence; the collective movement will not be sectional in anyway. We will be collaborative with each other. Because our course is one in essence.



Author's Notes: I have briefly touched on the issues pertaining to the limits of political liberty in South Sudan as well as the conditions of class struggle in South Sudan.
