CONGRATULATORY MESSAGE FROM NORHTERN BAHR-EL-GHAZAL STATE TO H.E. 1ST LT. GEN. SALVA KIIR MAYARDIT,
PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF SOUTH SUDAN, COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF OF SUDAN PEOPLES’ LIBERATION ARMY,
ON THE OCCASION OF THE FIRST ANNIVERSARY OF THE REPUBLIC OF SOUTH SUDAN, JULY 9, 2012.
We, the government, on behalf of the people of Northern Bahr el Ghazal State, hereby warmly congratulate Your Excellency, the President, and the People of the Republic of South Sudan for the greatest achievement of the independence of the Republic on such a day one year ago.
This is one of the greatest achievements in the history of the world in the 21st Century of the 3rd Millennium. Not many leaders and communities have achieved such a vision through a protracted struggle over the last 200 years of our self-discovery as the first indigenous inhabitants of the land of the Black People, Bilhad-el-Sudan, in the then so-called `Dark Continent’ of Africa.
Therefore, we, from Northern Bahr el Ghazal, being part of the committed communities, which brought about this independence and still continuing to defend it by all cost and by all means on the borders with our former and current enemy, are assuring you and the whole nation that we will remain a formidable dam against any foreign aggression and its malicious agenda from now to the end of the world. So help us God.
Happy Birth Day to all the peoples of South Sudan, their friends and well wishers who are celebrating the making of our history in Juba and all the other capitals of the nation.
Long live The President!
Long Live the Virgin Republic!
God Bless South Sudan!
Lt. Gen. Paul Malong Awan,
The Governor with The Government and the Patriotic People of Northern Bahr-el-Ghazal State.
Aweil, South Sudan.
