South Sudan is ran by people with personal interest rather than of the citizens and infrastructure: hence we might need a hard regime change to break such shackles

For the people currently in SSD, by the way things are going, do you think there’s a war coming?

I know what you’re thinking, before you immediately start thinking negatively I want you to think of one thing. A a whole nation and peaceful nation. Where everyone is equal and no one is oppressed or given certain privileges for being darker or lighter or having different religions. I believe that if South Sudan re unified with Sudan while keeping its resources like oil under its control would be mutually beneficial. No more fighting over it you guys keep what’s rightfully yours. There’s a new generation in Sudan and a new age is approaching soon. The conflict is winding down and ever since I was born my land has been war torn constantly in conflict with its self. The British indoctrination and division they caused by pushing the man is cruel (mandecoro) narrative needs to be undone. We have to move forward as a people and end the corruption, end the fighting and end the suffering. We are falling behind countries like Rwanda and Burkina Faso. We used to be the largest country in the whole continent. What do you guys think I really believe that if South Sudan re unified with Sudan and got the respect/representation it deserved then we be one of the strongest nations in the world let alone Africa. South Sudan would still have a cabinet/ group of people with political power who get a say. But we would be together again hopefully for the better this time. Sudan misses South Sudan and every day that passes the people of Sudan who were silent or complicit during the war regret it everyday. You don’t hurt who you love or care about. We have the most similar genetic make up aside from the Arab influence in the north which is one of the main reasons we are in this place. Even the names of the countries makes me some what upset. We are more than just the land of the blacks. We are the pharaohs and kings who built the pyramids that the white man hasn’t got an explanation for. If we can build a pyramid we can definitely re build a country,economy, community and relationship with our southern brothers and sisters.Please tell me what you think. As I said I know there’s an ongoing war in the north but I hope for a swift end to this foreign backed violence and re unified country the light with soft hair is equal to the dark with coiled hair.

Hey guys! I look at gaming cultures around the world and I am a big racing game player. I am curious about the gaming market in South Sudan and I have asked these questions on many subreddits, simply because I just want to learn about different gaming cultures around the world. My questions are:

What is more popular in South Sudan? PC or Console?

What was more popular in the late 90s and early 2000s? PC or Console?

What racing game was popular in the late 90s and early 2000s?

What do racing game fans in South Sudan play today?-(I know it’s not the most popular genre, but for people who like it, what do they play?)

  Thanks for your answers!!!!

It's almost laughable how we've come to accept President Salva Kiir's unchecked authority as "the new normal." Whether it’s firing a governor one day and appointing another the next, or replacing the head of the National Security Service (NSS) without much explanation, this practice has become a disturbing hallmark of Kiir’s leadership.

Take this latest development with Akol Koor and Warrap State as an example. Can anyone even remember who the governor was last week? Akol Koor's firing from NSS, his appointment and subsequent removal/revocation, and the sudden replacement barely even registers in public discourse anymore. This revolving door of leadership extends across the board—from state governors to security chiefs; national ministers to state/city commissioners. Kiir wields his power to hire and fire with little accountability or transparency, reshuffling people like pawns on a chessboard.

The real tragedy? Our focus has shifted from important issues. The economy is tanking. Corruption is rampant. Inflation is squeezing the life out of ordinary citizens. Yet, instead of addressing these critical matters, we’re left watching a political game where officials are constantly changed while our problems remain the same—or get worse.

What’s even more worrying is how normal all this feels now. Kiir’s decisions often go unquestioned, and the sheer power he seems to have is rarely challenged. We are witnessing a slow erosion of any meaningful checks and balances. The South Sudanese Constitution appears more like a suggestion than a framework of governance, allowing the president to act as if he's untouchable.

Should we really accept this? When does our focus shift back to the real issues affecting the country? South Sudan deserves better than endless political theater while the actual governance of the nation falls apart.

I just saw this post on Hot in juba and i was disgusted. Now i have met dinka guys that are chill asf and i have also met those that will want to fight you just because you looked at him and said nothing.

The head of National Security has be sacked

Hello, I’m currently doing a project in college about South Sudan. I would appreciate it if someone explains the current situation right now and what’s causing the humanitarian crisis. Thanks!

Hva er situasjonen i Sør-Sudan i dag? Sør-Sudan løsrev seg fra Sudan og ble opprettet i 2011. Landet grenser til Sudan, Etiopia, Uganda, Kenya, Den demokratiske republikken Kongo og Den sentralafrikanske republikk. I 2013 brøt det ut en svært voldelig borgerkrig som rammet landet hardt. Siden har det brutt ut kamper mellom rivaliserende grupper og væpnede grupper. Landet har rundt 11 millioner innbyggere, og over halvparten har ikke tilgang til god nok helsehjelp.

De siste årene har mange sivile blitt utsatt for vold og angrep, og millioner har blitt tvunget på flukt. Mange lever i avsidesliggende områder med begrenset tilgang til helsehjelp. Landet blir også hvert år rammet av flom som fører titusener av mennesker på flukt og skaper store behov.

Ifølge FN er 2,3 millioner internt fordrevet i Sør-Sudan (per juli 2023) og 2,4 millioner har flyktet fra Sør-Sudan (per juni 2023). Det er store helsebehov, og Leger Uten Grenser har omfattende helseprosjekter en rekke steder i landet. Ikke-statlige organisasjoner som Leger Uten Grenser står for mesteparten av den medisinske hjelpen i Sør-Sudan.

In the early hours of Tuesday, September 24, 2024, a tragic ambush occurred on the Juba-Nimule Highway at Kube in Lokiliri Payam, targeting a Bebeto Coaches bus. The attack, which claimed the life of one civilian, was swiftly blamed on the National Salvation Front (NAS) by the South Sudan People’s Defense Forces (SSPDF) spokesperson, Maj. Gen. Lul Ruai. The NAS leadership, however, firmly denies any involvement in the ambush, describing the claims as baseless propaganda.

In an official press statement released today, NAS condemned the false accusations, asserting that Maj. Gen. Lul Ruai’s statement is nothing more than a diversionary tactic to cover up the government’s growing security failures.

20240925 NAS Press Release On the Juba-Nimule Road Ambush

“The SSPDF’s inability to provide security across South Sudan is directly linked to the fact that soldiers have not been paid for over 21 months,” Suba Samuel, NAS Spokesman stated, highlighting the dire state of security outside the confines of J1, the official residence of President Salva Kiir.

NAS also extended its deepest condolences to the family of the deceased passenger and expressed sympathy for those affected by the attack. “We strongly condemn this senseless act of violence targeting innocent civilians,” the statement read.

In a broader context, NAS described the SSPDF’s accusation as a deliberate attempt by the Revitalized Transitional Government of National Unity (R-TGoNU) to distract from a growing legitimacy crisis. “The regime is now illegitimate and unconstitutional,” Suba Samuel pointed out, accusing the government of orchestrating the ambush as part of a pattern of staged attacks to deflect attention from their failures. The statement also referred to previous incidents, such as the killing of two Catholic nuns on the same highway, which NAS said were orchestrated by government operatives.

“NAS remains steadfast in its revolutionary ideals and adheres strictly to the rule of engagement as outlined in the NAS Army Basic Code of Conduct, the international humanitarian law, and the laws of armed conflict,” the group declared. Despite the government’s continuous false allegations, NAS reiterated its commitment to resolving the conflict through peaceful dialogue and negotiation. However, the group reserved its right to self-defense against any aggression.

As tensions continue to rise in South Sudan, the leadership of NAS calls on both regional and international communities to remain vigilant and not to be swayed by the government’s desperate attempts to solicit sympathy through fabricated threats.

For now, NAS remains committed to the struggle for the liberation of South Sudan, while condemning the violence and calling for a genuine resolution to the nation’s ongoing conflict.

As a concerned citizen, I cannot remain silent in the face of how the recent tragic ambush on the Juba-Nimule road is being irresponsibly reported by various media outlets. The integrity of journalism lies in the pursuit of truth, fact-checking, and presenting accurate narratives to the public—values that were shamefully absent in the coverage of this incident.

Instead of taking the time to investigate and verify the information presented, journalists have lazily parroted the narrative spun by the SSPDF, accusing the National Salvation Front (NAS) without any supporting evidence. Had they committed themselves to the principles of good journalism, they would have uncovered a very different version of events, one grounded in the facts relayed by those directly impacted.

One version that has been collaborated by various witnesses goes as follows: armed robbers appeared in front of the bus and opened fire, aiming at the conductor seated in the front. Their apparent intention was to stop the bus by targeting the driver. Once the vehicle came to a halt, the assailants boarded the bus, deliberately picked out six individuals, and demanded specific luggage that they believed was on board. When they failed to retrieve this luggage, they resorted to setting the bus on fire. Contrary to the official story, the individual who was wounded received medical attention, and the bullet was successfully removed.

Where was the fact-checking? Where were the probing questions? Instead, the media acted as a mouthpiece for the SSPDF, failing in their duty to hold power to account and provide the public with the full truth. What was the name of the foreign national who was killed? What package were the culprits looking for and who were the six individuals who were picked out?

This negligence not only does a disservice to those directly affected by the attack but also undermines the trust citizens place in the press.

Equally concerning is the role of the SSPDF in spreading these unfounded claims, politicising unrelated issues and pointing fingers at others without evidence. The reckless blame-shifting, mud-slinging serves a deeper, more troubling agenda, one that deflects attention from the army’s complicity or, at the very least, its failure to maintain security along one of the most critical routes in the country.

Instead of addressing their own shortcomings in protecting citizens, the SSPDF has chosen the easier path: crafting a convenient scapegoat. This move distracts from their responsibility and allows them to avoid hard questions about their operational failures. Moreover, this deliberate distortion of facts stokes further tensions, creating a dangerous environment where the truth is sacrificed at the altar of expediency.

As citizens, we must demand better from both our journalists and our army. The press must recommit itself to thorough, evidence-based reporting. The army, on the other hand, must stop shielding itself with lies and take ownership of the security lapses that allow such tragic events to occur.
