🔊 YOUTH VOICE: "Put Your Greed Aside for 10 Years" — South Sudanese Content Creator Demands Basic Amenities and Security from Leaders
A powerful new video by South Sudanese content creator is making waves across social media, delivering a blistering, raw critique of South Sudan’s current leadership. Speaking directly "on behalf of the young South Sudanese," the creator challenges the government to step up and deliver on five foundational promises.
Here are the key takeaways from the viral clip:
👉 The Five Core Demands:
The video highlights a devastating paradox: how can leaders call themselves "leaders" when they cannot provide the absolute basics? The creator calls for immediate accountability regarding:
• Food 🌾
• Clean Water 💧
• Electricity ⚡
• Medication/Healthcare 🏥
• Security 🛡️
👉 The Paradox of Wealth:
"South Sudan is one of the most blessed countries in Africa," the speaker reminds viewers, pointing directly to the nation's massive oil reserves. He argues that the country possesses more than enough resource wealth to develop the nation and sustain its people—making the current lack of basic infrastructure entirely unacceptable.
👉 No Excuses Based on Population:
Unlike mega-nations with massive administrative hurdles, South Sudan has a highly manageable population of roughly 10 to 13 million people. The creator points out that regional neighbors like Uganda and Kenya have four times the population, Ethiopia has nearly ten times, and Nigeria has twenty times. With a smaller population, efficient resource distribution should be well within the government's reach.
👉 Security First:
A major focal point of the video is the desperate need for safety. The creator notes that in neighboring Kenya, anyone can drive from Nairobi to Mombasa or Kisumu at any time of night without fear because the state guarantees safety. He asks why citizens cannot have that same peace of mind driving between Juba, Bor, Wau, and Nimule. True development and foreign investment will only come when both South Sudanese and international investors feel entirely safe.
👉 A 10-Year Challenge to the Elite:
The video concludes with a powerful, direct plea to the political elite: “Put your greed aside... even if you do it for 10 years. Just put in effort for 10 years and see how you people eat the way you are eating right now later on in peace, without nobody asking you.”
🗣️ WHAT IS YOUR TAKE?
Is a 10-year freeze on political greed enough to turn the country around? What do you think needs to happen first to guarantee security on our roads?
