THE NEW SOUTH SUDAN NATIONAL ANTHEM
“You are a Dinka, I am a Nuer, Kiir is the President, Dr. Riek is opposition Leader. You are poor; I am poor (by their standards). Both of them are wealthy and call one another brother and every time they meet, they hug. I and you have one thing in common, poverty. The fact that you come from the President’s home base does not make you any better than me. Neither does the fact that I come from Opposition Leader’s Region make me worth than you. We both have to struggle to survive. The day we will start thinking beyond our tribes, we shall make this country a better place and a place where there is no room for ‘‘tribalism’’. It starts with you and me my dear brothers and sisters of the soil. It’s time for you and me to start hugging. Let’s embrace the peace! It’s time for peace to prevail. Do not wait for Leaders, it start with us. One South Sudan and One Nation!”
