Public Service Announcement The So-called Opposition and the Conspiracy to Preserve the Status quo Fellow South Sudanese! In these uncertain times in our people’s history, it is a matter of survival for us to be vigilant in the defense of our hard-won freedom. The current civil war has now entered its fifth year.
