Despite immense suffering and a difficult history the people of South Sudan are clearly resiliant and I'm sure they will go on to achieve great things. Such an amazing country.
being sold as slaves again is not an achievement
@@juamu1132where did you get this information? Did you feel so insecure you started making up lies?
well every country is amazing if you think about it
Hopefully the people get along
@@Tethloach1 it’s not just about the people it’s about creating a nation from scratch it requires strength and intelligence. The south Sudanese people have proven to be resilient now is the time to utilize your resources for the betterment of your lives
Went to school with many South Sudanese in Kenya, very good people, they were good friends you could rely on, Greetings from Tanzania
As an American who taught in North Sudan, with many south sudanese students, i can't tell you how much love and respect I have for the sudanese and their children, some of the most amazing humans i have ever met
Is it not your country that starts and funds the war ? .
English is the language of south sudan??
@@elitedangeroustheworldnext9086 yes. english is because of the british but there is still a lot of tribal villages
Am from Uganda but always hoping that one day our brothers get peace and stability
As long as they don't kill the smart gays!

Bangladesh 🇧🇩 doing help South Sudan 🇸🇸 sooo much south Sudan is little brother of our Bangladesh 🇧🇩 Inshallah we both will work hard for two countries
DW giving us quality reporting about regions that usually don't make headlines but still deserve attention!
Do not believe in western media. The enjoy what is going on because all these destructions are caused by the West. Watch them carefully, they never ever show on their cameras the beautiful Africa. They are evil.
From Kenya we love our brothers from Southern Sudan, we hope you get it right...
I have never had the slightest interest in basketball. But now I will definitely keep my fingers crossed for South Sudan in every international tournament! 🤞
Love South Sudan 🇸🇸 ❤ from India 🇮🇳
My country ❤
Ajak Deng should be proud of your country !
I'm so happy for both the Sudaneese and the South Sudaneese, The North, because the war is over, and the south because they achived their main goal, Ton gain independence, Happy independence day South Sudan 🇸🇸 ❤ 🇸🇩
Sudan is going through a new civil war this year
I guess you must not watch international news. Sudan, is in a middle of yet another war.
Sadly you Spoke to soon , there's another conflict going on in Sudan as we speak , actually two different conflicts - an ethnic conflict in the Darfur region and a militaristic power struggle centred around Khartoum
@@xrazi1213It’s not a civil war, it’s just clashes between the army and paramilitary
@@diegomayz8503 It’s not a civil war, it’s just clashes between the army and paramilitary
I'm not a South Sudanese but I really hope this country drive to a much more better way
much love brother...best wishes from 🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩❤️❤️
Much love from Argentina to Bangladesh 🇧🇩🇦🇷
Happy independence day South Sudan people happy and prosperous and peaceful Africa, love from INDIA 💕💕💕
Love your coverage of African topics! Keep it up 👍🏼
Thanks to the journalists and translators who make it possible for me to learn of this distressing news from across the ocean in an English-speaking nation.
It's terrible news. But it's important to know.
1:40 it was about oil, I should have guessed
As a Somali, I know so many south Sudanese, they are polite people they are not talkative always like other African.
@jamaismail2024, you surely know us brother, one love
So which Africans are talkative?

My Uber driver from ORD moved here with his wife from South Sudan’s land prior to independence. His life experiences and road to independence involved years of sacrifice and family /community unity. This man worked hard for his family there and works just as hard for his wife and sons here - a humble man. I knew nothing of their struggles and wanted to see their history. As Americans we are ignorant of our freedoms as we live with comforts and privileges. God bless America 🇺🇸 and God help us to appreciate what is good and right. We need to be a place a natural goodness, honesty and family loyalty. Like many people I’ve met in poverty-stricken lands, humble demeanor and manners precedes your name. Sometimes, that’s all someone has.
May God help South Sudanese peoples especially children.
Dw is one of the best way of gathering information ❤❤❤
The expert seemed to visibly be in some pain as she explained just how bad things are. It's almost a de facto warlord state ten years after independence.
Yet, the story about basketball shows that in any circumstance, in any situation, the ability of humanity to excel is unbridled.
Civilization grows slowly, don't worry South Sudan🇸🇸, be resilient and encourage progress and unity
We are so grateful to celebrate the few success that we have and the few prosperity that we have achieved we lost millions during the wars and we still facing hunger and alot of crisis n the government curroption, even though there's suffering still We are grateful
grateful eating dirt?
One issue I don’t think is talked about is most peace deals are targeted at the national level conflict, while local level violence is ignored. Over and over, local conflict has not stopped after a new peace deal is signed. Until the local drivers of conflict are resolved it will be very difficult to fully freeze the conflict for any substantively period of time
130,000 South Sudanese returned home last year; true heroes.
I hope you're alright South Sudan.
Dw great job.bring more
Salva kiir keep his family safe in Kenya.
Am a South Sudanese with my head up 🇸🇸🙏🏾
I wish the South Sudanese so many wonderful blessings, abundant harvests, and LOVE LOVE LOVE 💙🤎💚!
Tasha Ajok Deng, you will make it happen! ⛹♀🥰😍🤩🤗
Thank 😢 you dw
TRIBALISM will never let Africa move forward
na it's all because of oil greed of human too strong to the point of selling blood relative for wealth
They split because islam was attacking south sudan
@@Powerviolenc3and they are committing genocide against smaller tribes in South Sudan.
Africans only practice tribalism against other Africans not non Africans.
How did Canada make a multiethnic nation work but not Africa?
DW is the best of them all. THE BEST. Keep it up.
It was painful time 😢
I feel you brother 😢
Long Live South Sudan! Viva La Sudan!
Most people forget that while celebrating separation of African communities.. Europe is striving to unite and overcome the differences and ethnic tensions that have plagued them for centuries… supporting one group over other and supplying them weapons and ammunition; the one who shoots the gun and the one who supplies the guns in one in destroying African communities
AfricA is not Europe. Nor will Europe EVER function as an "example" for Africa outside of her LONG and REPEATED FAILURES against Africa.
EU has a single religion that unifies them. 97% of languages in Europe belong to a single family (the Indo-European family), and they have a very long shared history between them. You don't have any of that in Africa so you cannot mimick the European experience. Asia would be a more appropriate model for Africans to learn from.
I was in NYC around this time and gave them the normal time to start battling it out-20 years. It only took 11 MONTHS for the war to start!!!!!!
Hahaha same,
I hope we can reach our independence in Kurdistan like South Sudan. Greetings
Imagine as a kid having to learn about mines? horrifying loas still has issues from the 70s. Imagine eastern Ukraine will have the same :/
This lady knows what she talks about! I hope Kiir will listen to her....but I doubt....
Thank-you....Good morning...😎
15:26 ❤😊❤ fabulous 👌🏿 👏🏿 👍🏿 that youth have a passion, a pass time, a happy time, a hope, a peace of mine.
The reporter was pretty good about asking the right questions. At the end, sports are the thing that unite us all. But I’m disappointed that there’s so much cruelty on the part of the militias who kill indiscriminately. All people deserve peace and live free and happy.
The land of greatest people
Sudan as it has existed has been a colonial creation, the north and the south had nothing to do with each other before colonialism. It was Muhammed Ali Pasha's colonialism that created Sudan and joined the north and the south into one country. The north and the south have nothing in common between them, they don't share culture,religion, enthicity or antyhing at all. Forcing them together in one country was a grave mistake from the start. Separation was the best solution for both nations. It's unfortunate that it took 50+ years for this to happen, lots of lives could have been saved has this fact been realized earlier. Much of the fault lies with us in the north for not understanding this and giving the south its independence. We should have done this in 1955 after The Torit events.
I wish for nothing but safety and peace for South Sudan, land mines are awful.
Vous pouvez venir en Europe de l'Est, dans les pays de l'Intermarium des Bałkans occidentaux, c'est très sûr et confortable
Good for Future .Good Luck.
It's not easy to build a nation, take a look at Timor Leste for another example, 20 years after independence the standard of living has worsened, >50% of population living in poverty, still no central bank, no credible local currency, all while its' oil and gas reserves are being exploited greedily by Australia.
This certainly sounds good too, but I think its still worth considering more reliable options like traditional businesses such as cannafarm ltd, for example.
SAME THING HAS BEEN GOING ON IN SOUTHERN CAMEROONS since 2016 between forces of cameroun government and fighters of Southern CAMEROONS.
South Sudan found its light at the end of the tunnel and the light was a train
You can come to Eastern Europe, to the countries of the Intermarium of the Western Bałkans, it is very safe and comfortable
I think the our leaders who are ruling now have failed, the only hope is the next generation in my country. Hopefully, God will give us a relief
Africa !!!
Oh Africa!!!
The salty tears of ALL your people will never cease to Flow. !!!!!!!
Imagine the peace of mine
We need president next year which is not same person SKM economy is another problem
Am proud to be south Sudanese
everyone starts somewhere
a kansas city shuffle in the political system, the right oppurtunity for investments, maybe play some regional and world powers off each other...south sudan can do it just like any other nation
May God help my countries 🙏
Ethnic tensions are always the bane of African societies
How did Canada make it work?
It will change. There are still millions of people alive who remember how one enlightened European Nation decided to eliminate multiple ethnicities while pronouncing itself above all others.
Independence didn't help majority of African countries. We were arbitrarily grouped together then expected to throve even though we'd been fighting for millenia.
Tbh the best solution would have been a gradual weaning of colonial rule without theft of land & Killing camps from Europeans. The reason would be to adapt to the new world.
Not that we're dumb, but it was extremely different from anything anyone had ever seen...and diametrically opposed to how most Africans think. Contrary to popular belief many of us don't even have collectivist culture so it's even harder to grow together (as East Asia did). We can work but every ethnicity wants to work for THEMSELVES.
*The same year I created my account.*
@10:50 The government has the duty to provide for the general population...
To provide what:? Food? Housing? Recreation?
I think the government's duty is to make laws and then enforce those laws so that the people can provide for themselves. And by Corruption, the government of South Sudan has indeed failed.
I would have thought that food would literally be everywhere just growing out of the ground in most parts of Africa. So with all that greenery there is no food to be had anywhere?
About as well as it can go for a central African country with resources
The map of South Sudan you shared here is inaccurate and I urge you to use the correct map please. Include the native South Sudan areas of Kafia Kingi, Abyei and Ilemi triangle
Abyei is ours, not South Sudan
A war will take you fifty years back, a peaceful solution will take you fifty years ahead because you won’t have to
Clean up the war damages. No one wins the war. A war will give other countries the opportunity to make money.
Examples are everywhere.
The SSD independence is July 9 2011 not 2007 as stated on the description of this video. Not a lot is known about SSD that why major news media/ individuals do make such mistakes. I do encourage proper research. The report so far was well aired
Why they are doing everything in English ?
Not even going to watch this because I already know the imagery and narrative DW will run with
Encouraging 🇰🇪
It's so weird being 8 years older than a country
Vive south Sudan
It's insane that more cluster munitions are being sent to Ukraine while South Sudan and so many other places go through the tedious, expensive, and dangerous process of de-mining.
Maybe Wagner should help them
Ukrainians will only use the clusters in clearing trenches and ruzzian mine fields not in civilian areas as is the ruzzian invasive method.
@@Ukie88 It might be a Russian trench today, buy it could be an interesting place for kids to explore in 20 year's time.
You only need to see one kid with their arms or legs blown off to know that cluster munitions are evil.
@@Ukie88 Russian trenches today is a village or a farmland tomorrow
Russia has already been using cluster bombs and set mine fields along their whole front line. Ukraine requests the cluster bombs. Also Ukraine has said the intend to take apart the artillery shells and use the bombettes to have drones drop them on trenches.
rejoin with sudan... one sudan
No
The Arabs from the decendants of the Ottoman empire have migrated in Sudan. They have occupied the land claiming its there's. Doing so this war will never end. They want shia law all over sudan.
This is an external operation on Sudan by the gulf states (and their buffers), they are funding the RSF.
Good luck to the returnees... Thanks to Uganda for hosting them, 10 year +
East Sudan is coming 😶
Why?
South sudan is my dream country to visit... I wanna know how do her people live and also i wanna share some of their culture and last one which is funny how do their people are so tall than normal specially to our african countries and entire world.. i love south sudan 🇸🇸🇸🇸💖
I live here in south Sudan and i feel we are being deprived of our civil rights. Im in a great country thats controlled by the corrupt and theres nothing we can do about it.
South Sudan is like moving out of your parents house and then you become homeless afterwards
Sudan and South Sudan were never one country. It's just the British demarcation that put them together
Short answer: Bad
Civil war in less than 5 years, president is a snake oil merchant, vice president keeps bitching, etc.
They have lectures in english?
Ok
good sudan
Only sport like basketball will bring freedom and friendship with the world
The detonation of the landmines reminds of Princess Diana. May she continue to rest in peace 🕊️🕊️🕊️
