Ref: Acceptance Statement: Gratitude and the Call For Unity to Rescue Our Homeland

Dear Supporters of Atar Youth United for Development (AYUD), Eng. Miathiang Mabil Nyok, the Atar Youth Alliance for Empowerment (AYAE) Team, the Atar Youth Association-IEC, Atar Government Officials, Diaspora members, Elders, Chiefs, and the Church,
It is with deep humility and a profound sense of responsibility that I address you as the chairman-elect of the Atar Youth Association (AYA) for the 2026–2028 term. This election was more than a transition of leadership; it was a testament to our collective maturity. By engaging in this democratic process, we have elevated the image, reputation, and ethno-cultural identity of the Atar Community. Together, we have set a historic precedent, a beacon of civility and hope that will guide generations of Atar youth.
I extend my sincerest gratitude to Eng. Miathiang Mabil Nyok and the entire AYAE team. Your enthusiastic involvement was the driving force behind this process. In a democracy, when ideas are exchanged with respect and vigour, no one truly loses; the Atar community wins as a whole.
Equally, my heartfelt appreciation goes to the mighty AYUD family—leaders, members, voters, supporters, and sympathisers. Your passion, humility, sacrifice, and unity of purpose have been exemplary. As your candidate, it was an honour to stand under the AYUD banner. I also pay special tribute to our party leader, the philanthropic Miyom Bol de Kiir, whose vision, sacrifice, and steady leadership made this victory possible. You are a true asset to Paweny da Atar and to South Sudan.
I also commend the Independent Electoral Commission of the Atar Youth Association for their fidelity to the rule of law and constitutionalism. Your calm and wisdom ensured that the election was free, fair, transparent, and verifiable, saving our community from potential crisis. Your dedication to democratic principles reflects the commitment of our people within the Atar Community
I wholeheartedly thank the Atar community across South Sudan, those in the diaspora, the greater Padang and Jieng communities, the general public, and our beloved government for your moral, financial, and logistical support. Your contributions were invaluable to the success of this process.
As we move forward, I urge every youth member in Juba and beyond to embrace:
• Community Unity: Rising above divisions to form a single, unbreakable front.
• Socio-Political Tolerance: Respecting diverse perspectives while focusing on shared goals, such as promoting dialogue and understanding among different groups in our community.
• Coexistence: Living and working together as brothers and sisters of one homeland.
AYUD will soon host a Thanksgiving ceremony to honour God Almighty, the Atar Community, and the public for the peaceful conduct of the elections. After this, AYUD will dissolve as a social entity, remaining under the founders’ custody to serve the community without engaging in youth or community politics.
Our mission is urgent. We must stand together to rescue our homeland from insecurity, hunger, illiteracy, humanitarian crises, and unemployment. Individual ambition alone cannot overcome these burdens. Our true strength lies in unity of purpose and collective commitment to the best interests of the Atar Community. When we act as one, guided by solidarity and service, we transform obstacles into opportunities and restore dignity and hope to our people.
Let's collaborate to create a resilient and prosperous future. United we stand, divided we fall. The call to Döt Baai (Rescue the Homeland) is time-sensitive and requires collective effort. Our common challenge is the absence of a stable and sustainable homeland. We must liberate it, restore dignity, and secure the right of our people to live and prosper.
Wetke Dötku Baai: Together, let us rescue the homeland.

Sincerely,
Mr Yai Nuoi Thon Tiir,
Chairman-Elect
Atar Youth Association (AYA), Juba, South

Today, I write this congratulatory message as a proud son of this community one who has waited, watched, and wondered when our time would come to show the world what we are capable of.
I remember years ago seeing grand campaigns from other communities, like the famous youth mobilization of Deng Junior in Twic East. I once asked my father, “Why isn’t our community doing such big things?”
He calmly replied, “It is a matter of time. Atar has a lot of potential. You will see it in the coming days.”
I told him, “I look forward to it.”
And then, the very next year, it happened not as a surprise, but as a promise fulfilled.
Our community did not just hold an election. We conducted one of the most peaceful, transparent, and effective youth elections ever seen in our region. Other communities have since expressed deep appreciation for what we achieved. Let that sink in: Atar became an example.
I have carefully read the manifestos. From AYUD, two things truly stood out:
• An Annual Atar Cultural Gala; a bold and beautiful idea to unite us through our heritage.
• The empowerment of our girls; not just as a slogan, but through the Atar Girl Forum, safe spaces, and a clear 35% affirmative action.
From AYAE, even though they did not win the chairperson seat, their agenda was not without merit. In fact, when the need arises, even the ideas of those who did not win should never be left behind.
Imagine, for a moment, if the best ideas from both AYUD and AYAE were implemented over the next two years. Our community would not just be fortunate it would be transformed. Ready for new ideas. Ready for development. Ready for dignity.
One thing I appreciated above all else was the massive engagement of our youth young men and women showing up, standing in line, debating ideas, and choosing their leaders with their own hands. That is not small. That is the foundation of a nation.
Today, I extend my deepest congratulations:
• To Atar Youth United for Development (AYUD); for a well-articulated, action-driven manifesto and a hard-fought, credible victory.
• To Atar Youth Alliance for Empowerment (AYAE); for your vision, your courage to compete, and ideas that must not be forgotten. Losing an election does not mean losing relevance.
• To the Independent Electoral Committee (IEC); led by Mr.Daniel Tiek Miaker and Francis Jeremiah for conducting a peaceful and professional election under challenging conditions.
• To the general public, elders, religious leaders, and intellectuals for your guidance, wisdom, and blessings. Without you, the youth would have no foundation.
Thank you, and congratulations to the elected Chairperson, Mr. Yai Nuoi Thon Deng Tiir, and to every young person who believed that our time has come.
Humanity first. Unity always. Development gradually.

Mr.Ngor Lual Monyluak

I would like to sincerely thank and congratulate all the youth of Paweny de Atar for this
wonderful and historic, once-in-a-lifetime event

—the election. You have made us very proud and have truly restored our community to where it rightfully and historically belongs. You are not only the leaders of tomorrow, but leaders of today.

I extend my heartfelt appreciation to our youth for conducting themselves with unity, respect, and a true spirit of brotherhood and sisterhood—reflecting who you are as proud members of our great community, Paweny de Atar.

Secondly, I would like to express my deep gratitude to both candidates for demonstrating outstanding leadership, unwavering commitment, and genuine love for the community.

M. Nyongdit, my hat is off to you.
Nuoi Thon, I warmly congratulate you.
Now that the campaign period has come to an end, it is time to reunite the youth—and by extension, the entire community.

This responsibility rests on both of you, but it weighs especially heavily on Mr. Nuoi. While you have been elected by the majority, both those who voted for you and those who did not are your brothers and sisters. The youth of Atar expect strong leadership in bringing everyone together.

Empowerment and development go hand in hand—they are mutually inclusive; one cannot succeed without the other. Our homeland awaits its youth to return and take part in building not only the land but also the human capital that has clearly shown its strength during this campaign. There is no home without its people.

To achieve this, unity is essential. Do not focus on small differences that may seem insignificant but can be harmful to your shared goals. I urge you to hold firmly to unity: love one another, forgive one another, support one another, and lift each other up—leaving no one behind.

Mr. Nuoi, the task ahead is not easy; it is more challenging than it may appear. But know that we stand behind you as the people of Paweny.
To my sons and daughters of this generation: I understand that life is not easy, and many of you face great hardships with little support. But you have the opportunity to build a better future for yourselves, your families, and your community.

I have heard of what is being called the “Journey of Desperation,” where youth take dangerous paths to unknown places in search of opportunity. I urge you—do not take that journey. Go home instead. Your land, Atar, is more beautiful and rich in resources than Libya, Europe, America, Australia, or even Canada. I sincerely ask you: choose home, not peril.
And now, let this not remain only words spoken during a campaign. Let it become action. Mr. Nuoi, you spoke of returning home, of rebuilding Atar, and of walking this path together with the youth.

The time to begin is now. I call upon you—and all the youth—to honor that promise. Organize, mobilize, and lead the journey back home—not as individuals, but as one united people. Let Atar rise again through your hands, your ideas, and your commitment. The future you seek abroad can be built at home—if you have the courage to return and the unity to build it together.

With much love and respect,
Your brother, uncle, and grandfather,
Monybany Minyang Dancham
