The Failures In South Sudan Are Deeply Deep-rooted In Ignorance

By: Ogeryath Oger

The leaders of South Sudan have got immense work to perform in order to reverse the political, social and economic conditions in the country and to reverse the conditions in the country, high level of thinking and understanding coupled by nationalism is required in order to avoid any form of mess or terrible failures as it happened in the previous wasteful years.

The way in which the country has been built is never promising and impressive at all. Which country on this earth exists where its own people are not able to access essential services and live under threat of their own leaders? This question is terrible but real and therefore there is much experience and knowledge needed in running South Sudan so as to avoid dragging the country into depression of everlasting failures. Absence of security and presence of social tensions and severe poverty in South Sudan proved to be more deadly than death.

The revitalized peace agreement itself does not address the interests of South Sudanese but it concentrates on the thirst of the politicians who are after their own satisfaction and selfish interests. The number of the political seats created by the revitalized peace agreement has dragged South Sudan to the worst stages of poverty and ignorance. Based on my assumption, there is no peace but poverty and ignorance are well rooted in South Sudan through the revitalized peace agreement. We must therefore be sincere in our own assessment and judge our situation honestly so that we can move on positively.

Having the guns silent in South Sudan isn’t enough at all but it is a progressive and positive development and other abandoned vital issues in the country must be addressed as well so that the masses who for long suffered from unnecessary war can recover their dreams and develop their own lives in a promising atmosphere. Looking at the communities in South Sudan, we realize that much needs to be done in terms of reconciling the masses/communities, building schools, roads, bridges, hospitals and other infrastructures. 

In order to eradicate the failures and shape South Sudan in the right way, ignorance must be highly fought and eliminated so that the leaders may have their eyes open and perform tasks that benefit the whole country, not specific groups of people. The government of South Sudan must be ran by experienced and nationalistic leaders who put the interests of the country/masses first.
