THE 14TH INDEPENDENCE ANNIVERSARY - MESSAGE FROM THE NATIONAL SALVATION FRONT (NAS)

Fellow Citizens of South Sudan,

This is a day of reflection, not celebration. Fourteen (14) years after July 9, 2011, our people still suffer under the oppressive SPLM regime, facing violence, fear, displacement, and hardship. True freedom is still out of reach. It’s time for a Second Liberation to restore dignity, peace, and justice through an inclusive process that unites all voices to heal our nation.

On the 14th anniversary of independence, NAS honors the resilient people of South Sudan. Despite suffering - your courage remains unshaken. We salute our brave forces and remember our fallen heroes; their sacrifices won’t be forgotten.

NAS calls for collaboration among the opposition. Now is the time to set aside divisions and act together to save our country.

To our people: your strength inspires us. We won’t stop until South Sudan is free - politically, economically, and socially.

Let this day remind us that our current struggle will not be in vain. South Sudan will rise again - free, just and dignified.

As Ramadan ends, we carry forward its spirit of discipline, compassion, and shared responsibility. In South Sudan, this means standing with the vulnerable, feeding the hungry, and building dignified lives for all.

We reaffirm our commitment to justice, peace, and reconciliation through dialogue and unity. Let us bridge our divides, confront injustice, and defend the dignity of every citizen. Together, we can build a future of lasting peace and shared prosperity.

Today we honor the women of South Sudan.

On behalf of the leadership and members of the National Salvation Front (NAS), I congratulate the women of South Sudan on International Women’s Day, March 8.

South Sudanese women have borne the brunt of decades of war, hunger, disease, displacement, and abuse. Yet their courage, resilience, dignity, and hope remain unmatched.

We honor and celebrate their invaluable contributions to their families and to society.

Happy Women’s Day.

The Kiir regime and its corrupt hold on power in South Sudan

The Kiir regime clings to power through deception, intimidation & bribery, pushing for elections in 2026 without a constitution or census. This mocks #Democracy & insults suffering citizens. Foreign forces run our affairs while corruption destroys our Country. The Kiir regime has traded #SouthSudan’s sovereignty for its survival.

NAS GUWA!
People Power!

Anniversary - Torit Revolt of August 18, 1955

Honoring the Past, Building the Future

Today marks 70 years since the Torit Revolt of August 18, 1955, a defining moment in our history when the South Sudanese rose against oppression and ignited the torch of freedom.

We honor the courage of our brave forefathers and the martyrs who sacrificed their lives so that South Sudanese could live with dignity, proudly embracing their rich African culture and values. The message from our forefathers is clear: life without freedom, dignity, justice, and equality is unacceptable, regardless of who the oppressor may be.

Today 70 years later, in 2025, the dream of Torit remains unfulfilled. Corruption, ethnic hegemony, and the failed leadership of the current regime under Salva Kiir continue to deny our people the promise of freedom and prosperity.

On this anniversary, NAS calls on every citizen of South Sudan to rekindle the spirit of Torit, not only to resist injustice but also to build a nation characterized by freedom, justice, unity, dignity, opportunity, hope, and prosperity for our people. Let this day serve not only as a remembrance but also as a renewal for a brighter future.

JULY 30TH MARTYRS' DAY IN SOUTH SUDAN - MESSAGE FROM THE NATIONAL SALVATION FRONT (NAS)

As we today honour the martyrs who gave their lives for freedom, we reaffirm our commitment to the Second Liberation. NAS stands united with all who seek justice, unity, and dignity for South Sudan. We bemoan the betrayal of the sacrifice of our matyrs by the kleptocratic regime of Salva Kiir and the SPLM whose leadership has brought division, suffering, and the destruction of our nation for personal and tribal gain.

To truly honour our heroes, we must renew our resolve to liberate South Sudan from this failed regime and restore hope, good governance based on a federal system, that will ensure prosperity and dignified life for all.

The spirit of our martyrs calls us to realise our historical rights for freedom, peace and prosperity. The time is now for all to rise up to this call.

Independence Reflection

14 years since independence, yet our people still face violence, displacement, and broken promises. True freedom must still be won.

Remembering Pope Francis, a great leader whose humility and compassion inspired millions

The Leadership and members of the National Salvation Front (#NAS) have learned with great sadness the passing of Pope Francis. He was a great Pope whose greatness comes from his humility and concern for humanity. He had the people of South Sudan close to his heart as he never left any opportunity to plead with them to bring peace to their people. Unfortunately, the leaders of the government of South Sudan have always let him down.

The people of South Sudan remember him for his love and plea for inclusive peace.

May God rest his soul in eternal peace
