Due to lack of vision, the people of South Sudan are in pathetic state of life as the policies of SPLM under the leadership of the President Salva Kirr is not favouring.
The current policies of the regime has completely failed not only to uplift the majority of citizens from degradated living conditions, but also address pressing challenges of Peace, Security, Unity and Development that South Sudanese sought-after, since liberation struggle epoch.
Consequencily, Life has become harder for ordinary citizens. Poverty is devouring vast population, while the regime on other hand committing atrocities, and massacring local populations, both directly and indirectly through “odd policies of misplaced priorities”.
Today, South Sudan is not only in mess, but at edge of collapsing. Yet, President Salva Kirr’s regime absolutely demonstrated to have no solutions to these predicaments, as he wrapped himself with wrong political ideologies that are unfit, for the national peace, unity and development.
Hence, a need for total regime change is matter of “vital, and urgency.”
As a Nation, we need new, patriotic direction driven by fresh ideas, and a clear plan for the future, which can not be produced through dialogue, and peace agreement with SPLM regime of President Salva Kirr.
This is because the regime of SPLM under leadership of President Salva has exhibited unwillingness not only for national political dialogues with opposition fronts, but also to setΒ the country on democratic path and reToratuof peace and stability by violating numerous Peace Agreements, as well failure to engage in meaningful political dialogues with political opponents (Holdout Groups) through Rome backed, Tumain Initiative.
Therefore, it will be total illusion for suffering people of South sudan, and particularly, the opposition fronts to cling on political dialogues, and peace agreements such as R-ARCSS and Tumain Peace Initiative; including anticipated National Election as means for resolutions of crisis.
The writing should be clearly for opposition fronts that, any efforts of political dialogue with the government will only deteriorated the conflicts, and facilitate contiunation of dictatoral regime, and thisΒ will enhance political surpressions and harassments of opponents, as well human sufferings, we unwished.
Therefore, the national opposition fronts should seek to unite, and opt for total regime change through military means (armed struggle), so as to secure a better future for the next generation through establishment of democratic system as fastener of good governance and rule of law for enhencement of peace, unity and development.
Now is the time for all South Sudanese opposition fronts to realize the importance of unity of common purpose, if they are Bona fide for regime change, and salvage of the nation.
Indeed, we must unite our ranks with objectives of drawing our supports for primed armed forces. ‘The military are ready, all that they need is unity of the political leadership, who will secrafice their times, and resources to mobilize logistical necessarities, as well offer political vision for the cause”.
