July 6, 2017 (JUBA) – The leader of African Youth Action Network
(AYAN) has called for calm among South Sudanese youths who hail from
the country’s Jonglei and Equatoria states, while urging them to
refrain from the hate speech capable of dividing the young nation.

AYAN’s executive director, Malual Bol Kiir said the recent exchange
involving hate speeches between Equatorians and Bor youths places the
future of young people in South Sudan in a critical situation.
Bol specifically cited a 28 July letter allegedly written by Bor
Community Youth Association, calling for evacuation of Equatorian aid
workers working in Bor, describing it as totally “unacceptable”.
“We the young people should strive at building synergies, building
peace and fight for our inclusion on the development agenda. This
fight only threatens our unity and making us vulnerable in the face of
the looming crisis in the country,” Bol said.
”We should together as youth get rid of the ethnic sentiments planted
in us by our politicians who lack vision and continue destroying our
beloved nation since their days are numbered. We should concentrate
rather on redirecting our efforts towards finding sustainable peace in
the country,” he stressed.
The outspoken youth leader urged young people to work for the common
interest of the nation and warned that any division among the youths
will worsen the conflicts caused by the nation’s politicians.
The ongoing conflicts in South Sudan, according to the United Nations,
has displaced 1.2 million people who have fled to neighboring
countries, while 5.7 million are exposed to famine.

One year after soleminzing the fake Kiir-Taban marriage of
convience, the economic hardship is biting harder! Banks are closing
in droves, first dinka youths in Aweil asked NGOs and UN to evacuate
Equatorians working in their state. Closer to home, the Bor dinka
youths with the backing of some of their leaders have made the same
pronouncement. MINISTRY OF FEDERAL AFFAIRS, have your say!!!

Eastern,
Do we really need the jienges in Equatoria? No. What added
value do they bring other occupying our valuable lands, and crowding
our spaces? We MUST expel all of them out of Equatoria. After all the
Kiirminal has given them their own states to develop. But lazy as they
are, they like to idle, squat and do nothing. They should be
cultivating and growing food NOT gossiping like drunken nyors

Eastern and Jubaone, you people have two options, accept
your fellow South Sudanese Dinkas or leave the country and move to the
country of your choice as refugees or pretend to be Ugandan as you
people do in the past during North- South civil war. Drinks are going
nowhere. This is their country to which they bleed.
Take it or leave it.
