Dear State and National Government Officials,

Subject: Urgent Call or Need for Government Regulation of Land in Capital Juba and other areas in South Sudan to Prevent Community Hatred

I am writing to bring to your attention the critical issue of land grabbing that people always talk about in the capital city Juba, South Sudan to urgently request that measures be put in place to regulate land ownership and distribution in our communities. It has become increasingly evident that unchecked land ownership and development is leading to growing discontent and animosity among different groups, ultimately fuelling conflicts and tensions among the communities in Juba. It has come to my attention that many individuals and communities are engaging in illegal activities to acquire land in Juba, leading to widespread discontent and conflict among the residents.

As the capital city of our nation, Juba is a symbol of unity and togetherness for all South Sudanese citizens. It is imperative that we take immediate action to regulate land ownership and distribution in order to prevent further conflict and division among our people. Everyone in South Sudan has the right to live and work in the capital city, as enshrined in our laws and constitution. It is our duty as government officials to ensure that this right is upheld and protected for all individuals, regardless of their background or social status.

In many areas, land is being monopolized by a select few, leading to disparities in wealth and power that create a breeding ground for resentment and hatred. This imbalance not only exacerbates existing social inequalities but also perpetuates cycles of poverty and disenfranchisement.

Furthermore, unregulated land development often results in forced displacement and marginalization of indigenous communities, worsening already fragile social cohesion. This not only violates human rights but also undermines the values of justice and equality that are fundamental to a harmonious society.

In order to prevent further escalation of community hatred and discord, it is imperative that the government take decisive action to regulate land ownership and distribution. This includes implementing policies that promote equitable access to land, protect the rights of marginalized groups, and ensure sustainable development practices that prioritize the well-being of all citizens.

By addressing these issues proactively and decisively, the government can help foster a more inclusive and peaceful society where all communities can coexist harmoniously and thrive together. We must act now before the situation escalates further and causes irreparable harm to our communities. Let us come together to protect the rights of every individual in South Sudan and uphold the values of unity and equality that our nation stands for.

I urge you to prioritize this critical issue and take immediate steps to regulate land ownership and development in our communities. The future stability and unity of our society depend on it. We urge you to enact and enforce strict regulations on land ownership and transfer in Juba, in order to prevent further instances of land grabbing and unfair distribution. By doing so, we can create a fair and inclusive environment for all residents, and promote peace and prosperity in our capital city.

Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter.

Best Regards,
