The Republic of South Sudan has been facing many challenges in developing after the civil war, which broke out in 2013. The South Sudanese government has employed many strategies intended to bring peace and development, but none have solved the problem.
Searching for peace has forced the government of South Sudan to dialogue with the opposition parties, and the two had agreed to sign a peace agreement, where the government was given a condition by the opposition parties to appoint and employ five vice presidents to satisfy the political interests of every opposition party available in South Sudan. Yet no peace and development were achieved in the nation.
Although many attempts were made by both the government and peace negotiators to bring peace to South Sudan, the people of South Sudan have been subjected to social, economic, and political crises and have nowhere to complain about their rights.
The five vice presidents and the corrupt government officials continue enjoying the national wealth while leaving the citizens behind to continue facing poverty. This has forced the common citizens to join criminal activities as another possible way of getting whatever they want for their own benefit in the country.
The president has retired the five vice presidents as an alternative to give the opportunity for the development of South Sudan. The retirement of five vice presidents will open a way to the development of South Sudan.
This is because the money that was spent on operating five vice presidents’ offices will be invested in supporting any national project that is thought to benefit the citizens and the country as a whole.
Furthermore, the retirement of the five vice presidents will not only open a way to the development of South Sudan alone, but it will also open a way to the employment of fresh graduates, who have graduated from both public and private universities and are not employed by the government of South Sudan.
Therefore, if the people of South Sudan want to claim their rights as citizens, then they have to use democracy as the only possible way of claiming their rights rather than a military coup and rebellion.
I therefore kindly inform the government of South Sudan to avoid future messes in the next leadership of South Sudan, and this will bring total political stability to the country.
