64 TRIBES, ONE PEOPLE, ONE NATION

The South Sudan We All Want to See

South Sudan is a home to 64 tribes, each with its own unique culture, language, traditions, and identity. Yet despite our differences, we share one homeland, one destiny, and one future. Together, we must work towards building the peaceful, prosperous, and united South Sudan that we all desire to see.

The human body provides a powerful lesson for us. It is made up of trillions of cells, tissues, and dozens of organs that work together to sustain life. Every part of the body has a different function, but all serve one purpose: the well-being of the whole body.

The eyes see. The hands hold and build. The legs walk and carry us forward. The tongue tastes and speaks. The mouth eats and communicates. The brain thinks and guides. If any one of these organs were to declare itself independent from the body, the entire body would suffer.

Likewise, the 64 tribes of South Sudan must work together for the benefit of our nation. Each tribe has a role to play. Each community contributes something valuable. Just as every organ is important to the body, every tribe is important to South Sudan.

If the eyes say they are not part of the body, where will sight come from?
If the hands say they are not part of the body, who will hold and build?
If the legs say they are not part of the body, who will walk?
If the tongue says it is not part of the body, who will speak?
If the brain says it is not part of the body, who will think?

The body functions properly because all its parts work together. South Sudan will only prosper when all its tribes work together. There is a reason why God brought the people of these 64 tribes together on this land that we call South Sudan. We may speak different languages, practice different cultures, hold different beliefs, and have different ways of thinking, but we remain one people and one nation.

Today, our country faces many challenges. Division, mistrust, insecurity, corruption, and political manipulation threaten our future. For too long, a small group of politicians has exploited tribal differences for their own interests while ordinary citizens suffer. As we fight among ourselves, our national resources continue to be mismanaged and our collective dreams remain unfulfilled.

South Sudan belongs to all its people not to few politicians.This is a wake-up call to every South Sudanese citizen. Let us put aside our differences and unite around our common identity. Let us speak with one voice for peace, justice, development, and national unity. Let us leave behind hatred and embrace brotherhood. Let us build a nation where our children can live, grow, and prosper in peace and harmony.

The time to act is now. If we remain divided, we risk losing the very nation that so many sacrificed to create. But if we unite, there is no challenge we cannot overcome.
64 tribes.
the people of South Sudan.
My country, my loyalty.

Man in viral Juba hospital floor photo passes on

Fidely Yak Yak, a patient whose image went viral after he was photographed receiving IV treatment while lying on the floor at Juba Teaching Hospital has passed on, according to a family member.

The photo, which circulated widely on social media this week, sparked public concern about conditions at South Sudan's main referral hospital and renewed debate over challenges facing the country's healthcare system.

According to the family member, the Yak's illness began on May 16 with symptoms believed to be malaria. After seeking treatment, he was reportedly unable to urinate, eat, or use the toilet normally. The family said he was later referred to Juba Teaching Hospital, where doctors found complications involving his large intestine and kidneys.

The family member said doctors requested SSP 2 million for surgery. According to the account provided to Hot in Juba, the patient did not regain consciousness after the operation and later died while receiving treatment. Hot in Juba has not independently verified those claims.

The family also said they are facing financial difficulties following the death and that the body remained at the hospital as of Saturday because they could not afford transportation to the mortuary.

Hospital authorities had not publicly commented on the case by press time. The incident has intensified public discussion about access to healthcare, treatment costs, and capacity challenges at Juba Teaching Hospital.

"For too long, our people have endured hardship, poverty, insecurity, and unmet promises under the leadership of the ruling Sudan People's Liberation Movement. The time has come for change, accountability, justice, and a government that truly serves its citizens. We believe in a future where every South Sudanese has equal opportunities, dignity, and a voice in shaping our nation. No more politics of division; no more broken promises. The people deserve better, and together we can build a stronger, more democratic, and prosperous South Sudan." (Francis Malook Lual)

If I should fall, remember me not with tears but with celebration.
For if I die, let it be known that I died for our children, for our mothers,
for the innocent souls whose pain I could not watch in silence.
I refuse to live in a land where suffering becomes normal,
where the dreams of our people are traded for personal comfort.

This is not the South Sudan our forefathers envisioned.
They bled for peace, they dreamed of prosperity,
and we owe them a nation worthy of their sacrifice.

Cry, the beloved country.
South Sudan, my oath, my country, my loyalty.

I do not know who advised this unprofessional SSPDF soldier to think that Nuer are the enemies. Someone need to tell them that Nuer is one of the 64 tribes in South Sudan and they are not the enemies of the state, they are the citizens of this country and they are supposed to be protected by the so call SSPDF which is supposed to to be the national army.

The leadership of the SSPDF is supposed to investigate and arrest such individuals that are tarnishing the image of the national army. These people need to know the differences between the Nuer as a tribe and the SPLA/IO as a rebel group.

I stand in solitary with the Nuer people and I strongly condemned such act of labelling the tribe as the enemy of the state because of the few individuals who head the rebel group that happened to be from one of the tribes.

the Nuer community
of South Sudan my country, my loyalty.

CESCSN condemns killing of student in Yei, demands justice

The Central Equatoria State Civil Society Network (CESCSN) has condemned the tragic killing of Emmanuel Kanjo Kennedy, a Senior Three student at Immanuel Model Secondary School, who was murdered on 7 December 2025 in Yei River County. Kennedy, a popular young footballer, was reportedly attacked by unknown armed men who stabbed him and broke his neck, leaving another person critically injured.

CESCSN described the incident as a grave violation of the right to life and raised concerns over a surge in knife-related attacks reported in Yei this month.

The network is calling on authorities to launch an urgent, thorough, and impartial investigation to bring the attackers to justice.

CESCSN also urged the government to strengthen security in Yei amid increasing cases of road ambushes, abductions, and targeted killings.

The network further appealed to the public to reject violence and work together to promote peace in the community.
