“My Christmas and New Year’s message to you this year is that of Courage and Resolve.
The dignity and rights of our people have been undermined by the regime. The regime and elites in Juba have looted the resources of the country while the people of South Sudan continue to languish in abject poverty with no basic services such as clean water, health services, food and education for their children. The time for you, the people of South Sudan to say enough is enough, is now. ‘You need to take your destiny into your own hands. The time has come for you to be courageous and resolute to reclaim your rights of freedom and restore your dignity. NAS has heard the voices of the people who, despite the threats to their lives, have openly and frankly told the regime that it has failed the people of South Sudan and therefore it must go. I urge all of you to be courageous and continue to use all forums including
those set by the regime to voice your opinions and demand your rights. No amount of threats, intimidation, and violence will ever defeat the courage and resolve of the people.”

The press release also calls on all forces in the country who find themselves dissatisfied with Kiir’s dictatorial regime and Machar’s defunct SPLM-IO to join hands with the popular revolutionary NAS in its struggle ‘to restore the people’s lost dignity, justice, equality, and freedom’.
…NAS is now the torchbearer of the struggle that started in 1954, and under the banner of NAS that torch will never be extinguished…

“…Unfortunately, the government has been violating the agreement multiple times and the most recent being on the 10th November, 2020 by attacking our positions in the country, at the very time while we, the SSOMA are participating in CTSAMVM workshop in Rome, Italy. SSOMA’s participation in this workshop is technical and informational and above all was intended to build trust between SSOMA and the government and to create a conducive environment for further negotiations.
“This recent violation is the last straw RTGoNU has demonstrated in their lack of political will, to the recommitment to CoHA and in building trust. Therefore, effective immediately, SOMA is suspending its participation in CTSAMVM workshop in Rome until RTGoNU respects and commits itself to CoHA.”

“…this cowardly attack came at the time when there is on-going CTSAMMV workshop between the Government and South Sudan Opposition Alliance SSOMA in Rome Italy. NAS condemns this uncalled-for attack which shows the intransigent of the regime of Salva Kiir and holds the government responsible for breach of the COHA agreement and the Rome Declaration and any consequences of this cowardly attack.”
As floods submerge vast areas of Jonglei, Central Equatoria, and Western Equatoria, the regime in Juba has found it appropriate to throw a lavish 14-day conference in Juba leaving thousands of destitute South Sudanese women and children at the mercy of international, religious, and community-based NGOs.
The leadership of the National Salvation Front (NAS), through the NAS Strategic Policy Secretariat, has released the full version...
