Let's Talk About Failed States - And Why South Sudan Doesn't Have to Be One.

You hear people throw around the term "failed state" like it's some kind of curse from above. But here's the thing: failed states aren't acts of God. They're made by people. And countries that work - the ones with security, democracy, justice, and accountability - those are made by people too.

Good governance doesn't fall from the sky. It's built. Brick by brick. Policy by policy. Choice by choice.

So let's be honest about where we are.

South Sudan under SPLM has failed our people. There. I said it. Not because I enjoy saying it, but because pretending otherwise is insanity.

A state is failing when it cannot provide the most basic thing a government owes its citizens: security.
Look around:

Hundreds of thousands killed
Children abducted like it's normal
Cattle theft everywhere you turn
Corruption so deep it's become the system itself
Civil conflict that never seems to end
Civil servants - teachers, doctors, soldiers, police, prison wardens, wildlife officers - not getting paid

Think about that last one for a second. The people who are supposed to run the country aren't even being paid. How is that supposed to work?

And yet, somehow, somewhere, people are still shouting "SPLM Oyee!"

My friend, that's not loyalty.

That's madness.

It's like cheering for a bus driver who keeps crashing the bus. At some point, you need to ask for a new driver.

We need change. Real change. And it starts with you changing your mindset.

I know what some of you are thinking: "But we fought for SPLM! We bled for this!"

Yes. We did. Many of us gave our youth to that fight. Some of us are in wheelchairs now - with no pension, no healthcare, no thank you. Just memories of what we sacrificed.

But here's the hard truth: just because we fought for something doesn't mean we have to die defending it when it fails us.

That's not betrayal. That's wisdom.

General Wilson Deng Kuoirot has been fighting since he was a young man. He's seen it all. And he's still fighting - not for power, not for himself, but for the original vision: a system that actually looks after its people.

A country where teachers get paid. Where doctors have supplies. Where children can go to school without fear. Where cattle stay with their owners. Where corruption is punished, not rewarded. Where justice is real, not just a word in speeches.

That's not a fantasy. That's what government is supposed to do. Other countries manage it. Why can't we?

NUM/NUA is offering an answer.

Not a perfect answer - nobody's perfect. But a different answer. A chance to try something new instead of expecting different results from the same failed leadership.

You can keep shouting "Oyee" for a system that's robbing you blind and leaving you unprotected.

Or you can demand better.

The choice is yours. But choose wisely - because the bus is still crashing, and we're all on it.

Because doing the same thing and expecting different results isn't strategy - it's insanity.

In Loving Memory of Rt. Hon. Bishop Emeritus Garang Anyieth Jangdit

To the people of South Sudan, to the Diocese of Bor, and to all who knew and loved him - believers and non-believers alike:

Our hearts are heavy today. We have lost a giant among us.

Bishop Garang Anyieth Jangdit was more than a man of the cloth. He was a beacon of hope when darkness surrounded us.

He was a voice of peace when violence threatened to consume us. He was a shepherd who loved every one of his flock, whether they walked in his faith or not.

In our darkest hours - and South Sudan has known many - Bishop Garang stood firm. When others gave in to despair, he gave us hope. When others preached division, he preached unity. When others abandoned us, he stayed.

His love for this country and its people knew no bounds. He didn't just preach the gospel from a pulpit - he lived it in the streets, in the villages, among the suffering and the forgotten. He saw the humanity in every person, and he fought for a South Sudan where every life mattered.

We are all diminished by his passing. But we are also blessed to have had him walk among us.

To his family, know that your grief is shared by a grateful nation. May God grant you comfort and peace in this difficult time.

Bishop Garang's work is not finished - it lives on in each of us who commit to continuing his mission of peace, hope, and love for all South Sudanese people.

Rest in eternal peace, Bishop. Your legacy will never be forgotten.

National Uprising Movement Demands Immediate Release of Deng Dut Koor

The National Uprising Movement calls for the immediate and unconditional release of Deng Dut Koor, a young South Sudanese citizen from Twic County, Warrap State.

Mr. Koor was abducted in Nairobi by South Sudanese national security agents. This action is illegal and violates both international law and basic human rights. No government has the right to kidnap its own citizens on foreign soil without legal justification or due process.
Deng Dut Koor has committed no crime. His arrest is arbitrary, and his detention is unlawful. These actions represent a gross abuse of power.

This is not the South Sudan we fought for. This is not the nation we want to build.
We demand a just society where every citizen can speak freely without living in fear of illegal detention, disappearance, or arbitrary arrest. Our people deserve the rule of law, not the rule of fear.

We call on the South Sudanese government to immediately release Deng Dut Koor and end these illegal practices.

The National Uprising Movement stands firm in defense of human rights and the dignity of all South Sudanese people.National Uprising Movement/NUM/ National Uprising Army /NUA

Where there is no justice, there can be no peace.

The National Uprising Movement (NUM) condemns in the strongest possible terms the unlawful arrest, torture, and continued detention of Kuany-Agut Machar, a civilian abducted from his place of rest in Juba by National Security agents.

Kuany was not arrested through any legal process. He was taken like a criminal in the night, beaten, and tortured by state agents whose duty is to protect civilians—not brutalize them. This is not law enforcement.

This is abuse of power.

Kuany-Agut Machar is a civilian from Jalle. He has never taken up arms, never harmed anyone, and never committed a crime. His only “offense” is standing up for his community and refusing to be silent in the face of injustice. Silencing civilians through violence does not create stability—it deepens wounds and multiplies suffering.

This abuse is not isolated. Last year, National Security elements killed Kuany’s son in a residential area after launching a rocket-propelled gr***de at a hotel. A civilian neighborhood was turned into a battlefield. A child lost his life. No justification was given. No accountability followed. Such acts are not mistakes—they are crimes.

Targeting civilians based on clan, identity, or community affiliation is a gross violation of human rights and international law. Collective punishment is illegal. Ethnic profiling is illegal. Torture is illegal. Arbitrary detention is illegal. These actions will not be erased by time, uniforms, or political power.

Let it be stated clearly: Kuany committed no crime. His detention has no legal, moral, or human justification.

The National Uprising Movement demands the immediate and unconditional release of Kuany-Agut Machar.

We further state, without ambiguity, that those who order, carry out, or cover up the arrest, torture, and killing of civilians will be held accountable—whether today or in the future. History does not forget, and justice may be delayed, but it is never denied.

South Sudan cannot be built on fear, graves, and silence. A nation that criminalizes its civilians destroys its own foundation.

NUM calls for justice.
NUM calls for accountability.
NUM calls for the immediate release of Kuany-Agut Machar.

Excited to share that I just got recognized as one of The Following's top fans! 🎉

Let us imagine something different for a moment.

Let us imagine South Sudan not as it is—but as it could be.

If NUM were entrusted with leadership, the first question would not be who gets power, but how the country heals.

We would begin with peace—real peace, not temporary silence.

A comprehensive peace agreement with all armed opposition groups, because no nation can move forward while fighting itself. Guns must give way to dialogue, and dialogue must lead to lasting security for civilians.

Then comes courage: the courage to disarm armed civilians across the country.

A society where everyone carries a weapon is not a free society—it is a frightened one. Safety must belong to the people, not to militias, not to tribes, not to fear.

We would focus on basics—roads, water, schools, health facilities.
Not luxury projects. Not show-off buildings.
But infrastructure that connects people, creates jobs, and allows farmers, traders, and students to live with dignity—built within a reasonable and transparent timeframe.

We would bring our people home.

Millions of South Sudanese are scattered across borders, not by choice, but by war and neglect. Refugees deserve more than sympathy—they deserve a chance to return, resettle, and rebuild their lives in their own land.

We would return power to where it belongs: the people.

A general election—free, fair, and credible—where the President, Governors, Members of Parliament at national and provincial levels are elected by citizens, not appointed by power.
Where mayors, councillors, and even traditional leaders are chosen by the communities they serve—not imposed on them.

We would reform the army.

A professional, disciplined national force of about 60,000—trained to protect borders and citizens, not politics. A smaller army, accountable to the law, is stronger than a large force loyal to individuals.

And above all, government would operate under the rule of law.

No party above the constitution.
No leader above accountability.
No citizen below justice.
This is what NUM stands for.

Not hunger for power—but responsibility.
Not endless rule—but service.
Not empty promises—but clear direction.
So the question is not whether NUM wants power.

The real question is: what kind of South Sudan do you want to live in?

One where nothing changes—

or one where leadership is finally accountable to the people?

The future is a choice.

And that choice belongs to you.

Gen. Wilson Deng Kuoirot is the man for the job .
Sign. NUM/NUA. Follow NUM , invites your friends and let’s have conversations.

My dear friends ,
Young people of South Sudan.

Let me speak to you not as a politician, but as one of you.

Many of us standing here today are alive because others did not survive.

Some of us lost our fathers, our mothers, our uncles, our brothers during the liberation of this country. They died believing their sacrifice would give us peace, dignity, and a future.
Look at where we are today. We cheer a government that has no answers to our suffering.

A government that has failed to stop civil war, child abduction, cattle rustling, and the killing of innocent citizens in every corner of this country for more than twenty years.
Tell me—are we happy with this?

Since 2005, how many graves have we dug?
How many young men have we buried?
How many women have been left widows?
How many children have grown up knowing only hunger, fear, and gunfire?

Is this the freedom our parents died for?
Do you honestly believe that the same leadership—corrupted by power, loyal only to their families and their pockets—will suddenly change tomorrow?

Do you believe people who created this mess are capable of fixing it?
My brothers and sisters, let us stop lying to ourselves.

This system cannot reform itself.
It feeds on our silence, our fear, and our division. And let me say this clearly: the youth are not the problem.

We are the solution.

We have the right to stand up and say: you have failed us.

You have failed to protect life.

You have failed to build peace.

You have failed to honour the blood that was spilled for this nation.

No country moves forward when its young people are jobless, hopeless, and hunted.

No nation survives when its women raise children alone after their husbands are killed, with no justice and no compensation.

Change has never come from those comfortable in power.

Change has always come from young people who refuse to accept injustice as normal.

So I ask you today: if not us, then who?

If not now, then when?

Rise with courage.

Rise with unity.

Rise with discipline and purpose.

Let our voices be louder than bullets.
Let our unity be stronger than fear.
This land belongs to us—not to corruption, not to violence, not to failed leadership.

Rise up, South Sudanese youth.

Rise up and reclaim your future.

Rise up and say: enough is enough.

Gen. Wilson Deng Kuoirot is the man to brings the reform and changes that’s you needs today , not tomorrow.

To the young people of South Sudan.
To the women carrying this nation on their backs.

We see and hear you!!

We see the young man who wakes up every morning with no job, no peace, and no future promised to him—yet still refuses to become hopeless.

We see the young woman who walks miles for water, food, or safety while the world debates her suffering.

We see the mothers raising children alone, not because they chose to, but because war stole their husbands and left them with silence instead of justice, graves instead of compensation.

You were not born to suffer forever.
You were not born to bury your dreams before they grow.

And you were not born to be ruled by people who have made war profitable and peace impossible.

For years, South Sudan’s youth have been told to wait.

Women have been told to endure.
Families have been told to accept loss without explanation, without accountability, without dignity.

NUM says enough.

Enough hunger in a land full of resources.
Enough graves for the young and medals for the powerful.

Enough widows with no support, no voice, and no protection.

Enough soldiers sent to die while leaders grow richer.

This movement is not about titles.
It is not about tribes.

It is not about recycled promises.
It is about life.

It is about a South Sudan where a young person’s future is not decided by war.

Where a mother does not beg to feed her children.

Where families who lose loved ones are not abandoned by the state.
Where peace is real, not just spoken during conferences.

NUM stands with the forgotten.

NUM stands with the hungry.

NUM stands with the widows, the orphans, and the youth who refuse to give up.

Change does not come because people in power allow it.

Change comes when ordinary people stand together and demand it.

Your pain matters.

Your voice matters.

Your future matters.

South Sudan can rise — but only if its people rise together.

This is your movement.
This is your moment.
This is NUM/NUA

The future belongs to you.

Message to the Youth of South Sudan.

My brothers and sisters, the young people of this land,I see your pain. I know your hunger.

I know the fear you wake up with and the anger you carry in silence. You were born into war, raised in hardship, and promised a future that never arrived.

But listen to me carefully: you are not weak. A generation that survives war, poverty, displacement, and violence is not a lost generation — it is a strong generation that has been abandoned.

Our country did not fail because its youth are lazy or violent. It failed because leadership forgot the people and protected itself instead of protecting the nation.

Gen. Wilson Deng Kuoirot Chairmain of (NUM/NUA),stand with you not to use you for slogans, guns, or empty promises — but to return dignity, opportunity, and voice to young South Sudanese.

We believe:

No young person should die because of tribe

No youth should carry a gun because there is no job
No family should sleep hungry in a land rich with resources

No citizen should fear their own government

Change will not come from hatred or revenge. It will come from unity, discipline, courage, and truth. We reject violence against civilians. We reject corruption. We reject politics that divides tribes instead of building a nation.

Young people, the future of South Sudan is not in exile, not in war, not in despair — it is in your hands. Organize peacefully. Speak boldly. Refuse to be used. Refuse to be silenced.

This movement is not about one man or one tribe. It is about restoring hope, justice, and dignity to a nation that has suffered too long.
Hold on. Stand up. Believe again.

South Sudan can still rise — with you leading the way.National Uprising Movement/NUM/ National Uprising Army /NUA

My fellow South Sudanese,

I'm speaking to you today with a heavy heart, but also with a message of hope. As your opposition leader, I've seen the struggles, the pain, and the resilience of our people. We've been through a lot, but I believe we're on the cusp of something new. Something better.

To our young people, I say: you are the future. Your energy, your ideas, and your passion will shape our nation's tomorrow.

To our women, I say: your strength and compassion are the backbone of our society. Keep pushing for a seat at the table, and know that I hear you.

To our war veterans, I say: your sacrifices will not be forgotten. We honor your service and commitment to our nation.

Let's work together to build a South Sudan that's just, peaceful, and prosperous for all. We can do this, but it starts with us. Let's take the first step today.

I urge you to join ( National Uprising Movement/National Uprising Army ( NUM/NUA). You are the change we need at the moment .

The National Uprising Movement/National Uprising Army (NUM/NU) :

Hereby declares its existence as a national political platform dedicated to restoring dignity, justice, unity, and prosperity to the Republic of South Sudan. NUM emerges as a response to the prolonged suffering of our people under insecurity, corruption, misrule, tribal manipulation, and political decay that has weakened the sovereignty of our state and crushed the hopes of our citizens.

NUM is not founded in hatred or revenge. It is founded in the belief that South Sudan deserves a leadership that answers to its people, not to personal networks, foreign interests, or tribal factions. NUM seeks peaceful political transformation and institutional reforms to rescue South Sudan from economic collapse, insecurity, hunger, and diplomatic isolation.

(NUM/NUA)stands for a new political culture that places national interest above personal gain, accountability above impunity, and peace above war.

We call on all South Sudanese — at home, in refugee camps, in the diaspora, and in uniform — to join this movement for national renewal.
