(10.8.2017) Let me repeat; all communities in the country – including those villages from where top politicians were born, never benefited in any way. Only a few top politicians and individuals connected to them have been siphoning oil money.

Having given that background, I think it will take a while before those beautiful dreams are realized in South Sudan: Justice, Liberty, and Prosperity! Liberty would include democracy where citizens are free to choose their leaders and/or recall them using peaceful means.

Thirty to forty years is an appropriate time frame to realize a democratic South Sudan if a new approach is adopted today.
