The large population in South Sudan is experiencing widespread hunger, despite support from humanitarian agencies. Today, hunger is a more pressing issue than the gun attacks happening across the country.

People are struggling due to high market prices, as they are unable to rely on their farms to alleviate the cost of goods. This has led to families, who used to have one meal a day, now going without food for up to two days.

South Sudanese are grappling with soaring prices, as the value of the local currency continues to decline against the dollar.

This situation is challenging for all citizens, and the working classes are particularly affected. The authorities have failed to stabilize prices in the market, and their use of dollars instead of the local currency has compounded the issue.

If no action is taken, the death toll from hunger in the next two years may surpass that of the 2016 crisis. The country’s leaders are responsible for this dire situation, and their efforts to address these challenges have been insufficient. Despite the cries for peace, the situation remains bleak.

The leaders’ self-centered and corrupt behavior has left the citizens feeling disheartened. The lack of accountability and high levels of corruption in government institutions have worsened the situation.

Many citizens now struggle to access basic necessities such as maize flour and salt, while the cost of water is exorbitant.

Citizens in remote villages face difficulties in accessing trade and small-scale farming, and many believe that only the capital city, Juba, is safe to live in.

I urge the leaders to prioritize the well-being of the citizens and improve their communication with the nation.

God Protect South Sudan

Be right there!
