2021 Easter Message: have hope, stand united with courage and resolve

 

General Thomas Cirillo, the Chairman and C-in-C of the National Salvation Front (NAS) has urged South Sudanese to “stand united with courage and resolve to overcome the oppressive regime and determine the destiny of our people and country”.

Thomas Cirillo made the statement on Easter Sunday while conveying Easter greetings to the people of South Sudan from the leadership of the NAS.

 

I urge the people of South Sudan to have hope and stand united with courage and resolve to overcome the oppressive regime…

 

“Today, as we celebrate this Easter, our country is in a state of chaos and heading to collapse and fragmentation. The regime has refused to pursue the path of peace and stability but chose to maintain the status quo through orchestrating widespread ethnic conflicts and insecurity in all corners of South Sudan. The regime is under the illusion that engaging in killings, rape, terror and intimidation will subdue the people of South Sudan and continue their evil policies,” read the statement in part.

“I, therefore, urge the people of South Sudan to have hope and stand united with courage and resolve to overcome the oppressive regime and determine the destiny of our people and country. Let us celebrate this season with the conviction that our people will soon be free!

Full-Text:Β  Easter Message

Fellow Citizens,

I greet you all in the name of the risen Lord Jesus Christ.

On behalf of the leadership of the National Salvation Front and on my own behalf, I convey Easter greetings to all the people of South Sudan on this important day of the salvation of mankind.
I convey special Easter greetings to the gallant NAS forces in their respective locations, NAS political cadres, members and supporters for their determination and dedication to the struggle for freedom, justice, equality, democracy and the restoration of the dignity of our people.

Today, as we celebrate this Easter, our country is in a state of chaos and heading to collapse and fragmentation. The regime has refused to pursue the path of peace and stability but chose to maintain the status quo through orchestrating widespread ethnic conflicts and insecurity in all corners of South Sudan. The regime is under the illusion that engaging in killings, rape, terror and intimidation will subdue the people of South Sudan and continue their evil policies.

Easter is a celebration of the love of God for mankind; the defeat of death and the rise of Jesus Christ from the death. It signifies the victory of good over evil, justice over injustice, freedom over oppression and subjugation, dignity over servitude. Just as evil and death could not defeat God’s salvation plan for mankind, the regime in Juba will be defeated and the salvation of the people will be realised sooner than later.

I, therefore, urge the people of South Sudan to have hope and stand united with courage and resolve to overcome the oppressive regime and determine the destiny of our people and country. Let us celebrate this season with the conviction that our people will soon be free!

The National Salvation Front wishes you a happy Holy Easter Season and good health for you and your families.

May God bless you and bless South Sudan.

[Signed: 04 April 2021]
Gen. Thomas Cirillo Swaka
Chairman and Commander in Chief National Salvation Front/Army (NAS)
