RSS coat of ARMS

South Sudan’s coat of arms, in which the eagle symbolizes vision, strength, resilience and majesty, and the shield and spear the people’s resolve to protect the sovereignty of their republic and work hard to feed it.

March 29, 2016 (SSB)  —  I always like quoting Dr. John Garang words because his words explaining our current situation in a young nation South Sudan, and he said, “I have found a man who will fight the war but I did not have somebody who can deliver services to the people equally and a gun that shoot by itself”.

It is a war that is increasingly tilting towards tribal feuds and conflicts because of misinformation, disinformation and uninformation. Lives have been lost, people maimed and properties vandalised making it one of the bloodiest conflict in Africa today.

Central to this conflict is the personality of Dr.Riek Machar Teny, a man loved and loathed by many. He has surveyed and established his political niche in the South Sudanese political arena and is arguably the most divisive leader in the country.
